Individual Details

Marriage

With the FitzAlan and Bohun lines, we enter two of the major families of Medieval England with extensive and well documented pedigrees. Richard FitzAlan III, 10th Earl of Arundel, was born in 1346, the son of Richard FitzAlan II and his wife Eleanor Plantagenet. Eleanor was the great-grandaughter of Henry III. Richard FitzAlan III married Elizabeth de Bohun in 1359, and the couple had seven children before Elizabeth's death on April 3, 1385. Elizabeth de Bohun was the daughter of William de Bohun, Earl of Northampton, and his wife Elizabeth de Badlesmere. Richard FitzAlan was beheaded in London on Sept. 21, 1397, and was buried at the Church of the Friars in London. (Arundel Castle, ancestral home of the Fitz-Alans, is in the photo section). The next line of our direct connection will be continued through the de Bohun family.
