She married Sir
Andrew Noel of
Dalby and
Brooke (d. 1607), a son of Andrew Noel and Elizabeth Hopton. She was known as "Lady Noel" or "Lady Nowell". Andrew Noel inherited the lands of the former
Brooke Priory. Mabel, Lady Noel, attended the
funeral of
Mary, Queen of Scots at
Peterborough Cathedral in 1587 with her sister
Elizabeth, Lady Montagu. Andrew Noel's brother
Henry Noel was a poet, a patron of
John Dowland, and said to be a gentleman pensioner to the queen. He died on 28 February 1597 after playing a ball game called
baloune at court with an Italian opponent. According to a letter written by
Rowland Whyte in April, the queen had been angry at one of her maids of honour
Elizabeth Brydges for watching a game of
ballon rather than attending to her duties. Brydges was a daughter of
Giles Brydges, 3rd Baron Chandos, a probable patron of Henry Noel. On 23 February 1600 the envoy
Louis Verreycken from the Spanish Netherlands had an audience with Queen Elizabeth. The great ladies and "fair maids" of the court, all dressed in white "excellently brave", including Mabel, Lady Noel, and her sisters
Sarah, Lady Hastings and
Theodosia, Lady Dudley (or her mother-in-law Mary, Lady Dudley), waited in the presence chamber. Three letters Mabel wrote to her sister
Elizabeth Harington, wife of
Edward Montagu of Boughton, survive. She died in 1603. ==Family==
