Late in 1617, after Roos had decamped abroad, Anne and her mother charged that Frances Cecil, Countess of Exeter, the youthful bride of Roos’s grandfather Thomas Cecil, Earl of Exeter, had carried on an affair with Roos and had attempted to poison his aggrieved wife. The Earl and Countess of Exeter appealed to the King who, in 1618 sent the case to the Star Chamber who In 1619 found Anne, her parents and brothers guilty of defaming the Earl and Countess of Exeter and of suborning witnesses and forging evidence. All were sent to the Tower and heavily fined. Anne confessed her crime in late June 1619 and was released Her mother, more stubborn, was finally released in 1620 making her confession and submission in Star Chamber in 1621.
