Firstly Katherine Grey sister to Lady Jane Grey confided to Bess that she had secretly married. It was Bess's duty to disclose to Elizabeth this information which she did not. Being privy, she was deemed an accomplice and placed in the Tower for several months
Secondly, her connivings with Margaret, Countess of Lennox to secretly marry her daugher Elizabeth with Charles the son of Margaret meant that they could face life imprisonment for treason for tampering with the succession and not getting Elizabeth's permission. Both Margaret and Bess were placed in the Tower. Bess again for only a few months
