Margaret Cheyne (died 25 May 1537) was a woman executed for treason in the aftermath of the Northern Uprising during the reign of Henry VIII of England. She was the wife of Sir John Bulmer (although at the time her accusers disputed this) and was the illegitimate daughter of Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham.[1]
