==Biography==
===Name===
Eleanor is most often referred to as "Eleanor de Lancaster" or Eleanor of Lancaster -- the name her husband used on her tomb.
She is sometimes referred to as "Eleanor Plantagenet." The surname "Plantagenet" has been retrospectively applied to the descendants of Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou and Empress Matilda without historical justification: it is simply a convenient, if deceptive, method of referring to people who had, in fact, no surname. The first descendant of Geoffrey to use the surname was Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York (father of both Edward IV of England and Richard III of England) who apparently assumed it about 1448. Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Lancaster Eleanor of Lancaster]
During her first marriage she was "Lady Beaumont."
After her second marriage she was also Eleanor, Countess of Arundel.Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Lancaster Eleanor of Lancaster]

===First marriage to John of Beaumont===
Eleanor married first on 6 November 1330 John de Beaumont, 2nd Baron Beaumont (d. 1342),
He was the son of Henry Beaumont, 4th Earl of Buchan, 1st Baron Beaumont (c.1288-1340) by his wife Alice Comyn (1289-3 July 1349).
John de Beaumont died in a tournament on 14 April 1342.
They had one son, born to Eleanor in Ghent whilst serving as lady-in-waiting to Queen Philippa of Hainault:

Henry and Margaret had one son, John Beaumont, 4th Baron Beaumont KG (1361-1396).
There are presently three additional persons shown as children of Eleanor and John. These are not their children and therefore further research is required to place them properly:#[[Beaumont-8|Maud Beaumont]], b.

===Second Marriage to Richard FitzAlan===
On 5 February 1344 at Ditton Church, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, [[#S96]] she married Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel. He is also sometimes referred to as Richard de Arundel.
Nicknamed "Cropped Hat", he was born about 1306 in Arundel, Sussex.
His previous marriage, to Isabel le Despenser, had taken place when they were children. It was annulled by Papal mandate as she, since her father's attainder and execution, had ceased to be of any importance to him. Pope Clement VI obligingly annulled the marriage, bastardized the issue, and provided a dispensation for his second marriage to the woman with whom he had been living in adultery (the dispensation, dated 4 March 1344/1345, was required because his first and second wives were first cousins).
He died 24 Jan 1375.

===Death and Burial===
She died in 11 January 1372 (aged 60) in Arundel, Sussex[[#S96]]
"Eleanor died at Arundel and was buried at Lewes Priory in Lewes, Sussex, England. Her husband survived her by four years, and was buried beside her; in his will Richard requests to be buried "near to the tomb of Eleanor de Lancaster, my wife; and I desire that my tomb be no higher than hers, that no men at arms, horses, hearse, or other pomp, be used at my funeral, but only five torches...as was about the corpse of my wife, be allowed."
In addition to their tombs in Lews Priory, there are memorial effigies attributed to Eleanor and her husband Richard Fitzalan, 10th Earl of Arundel in Chichester Cathedral. These are the subject of the Philip Larkin poem "An Arundel Tomb."
Note. Lewes Priory was more formally know as the Priory of St. Pancras.

==Biography==
===Name===
Eleanor is most often referred to as "Eleanor de Lancaster" or Eleanor of Lancaster -- the name her husband used on her tomb.
She is sometimes referred to as "Eleanor Plantagenet." The surname "Plantagenet" has been retrospectively applied to the descendants of Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou and Empress Matilda without historical justification: it is simply a convenient, if deceptive, method of referring to people who had, in fact, no surname. The first descendant of Geoffrey to use the surname was Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York (father of both Edward IV of England and Richard III of England) who apparently assumed it about 1448. Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Lancaster Eleanor of Lancaster]
During her first marriage she was "Lady Beaumont."
After her second marriage she was also Eleanor, Countess of Arundel.Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Lancaster Eleanor of Lancaster]

===First marriage to John of Beaumont===
Eleanor married first on 6 November 1330 John de Beaumont, 2nd Baron Beaumont (d. 1342),
He was the son of Henry Beaumont, 4th Earl of Buchan, 1st Baron Beaumont (c.1288-1340) by his wife Alice Comyn (1289-3 July 1349).
John de Beaumont died in a tournament on 14 April 1342.
They had one son, born to Eleanor in Ghent whilst serving as lady-in-waiting to Queen Philippa of Hainault:

Henry and Margaret had one son, John Beaumont, 4th Baron Beaumont KG (1361-1396).
There are presently three additional persons shown as children of Eleanor and John.

===Second Marriage to Richard FitzAlan===
On 5 February 1344 at Ditton Church, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, [[#S96]] she married Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel. He is also sometimes referred to as Richard de Arundel.
Nicknamed "Cropped Hat", he was born about 1306 in Arundel, Sussex.
His previous marriage, to Isabel le Despenser, had taken place when they were children. It was annulled by Papal mandate as she, since her father's attainder and execution, had ceased to be of any importance to him. Pope Clement VI obligingly annulled the marriage, bastardized the issue, and provided a dispensation for his second marriage to the woman with whom he had been living in adultery (the dispensation, dated 4 March 1344/1345, was required because his first and second wives were first cousins).
He died 24 Jan 1375.

===Death and Burial===
She died in 11 January 1372 (aged 60) in Arundel, Sussex[[#S96]]
"Eleanor died at Arundel and was buried at Lewes Priory in Lewes, Sussex, England. Her husband survived her by four years, and was buried beside her; in his will Richard requests to be buried "near to the tomb of Eleanor de Lancaster, my wife; and I desire that my tomb be no higher than hers, that no men at arms, horses, hearse, or other pomp, be used at my funeral, but only five torches...as was about the corpse of my wife, be allowed."
In addition to their tombs in Lews Priory, there are memorial effigies attributed to Eleanor and her husband Richard Fitzalan, 10th Earl of Arundel in Chichester Cathedral. These are the subject of the Philip Larkin poem "An Arundel Tomb."
Note. Lewes Priory was more formally know as the Priory of St. Pancras.

Her husband survived her by four years, and was buried beside her; in his will Richard requests to be buried "near to the tomb of Eleanor de Lancaster, my wife; and I desire that my tomb be no higher than hers, that no men at arms, horses, hearse, or other pomp, be used at my funeral, but only five torches...as was about the corpse of my wife, be allowed."
In addition to their tombs in Lews Priory, there are memorial effigies attributed to Eleanor and her husband Richard Fitzalan, 10th Earl of Arundel in Chichester Cathedral. These are the subject of the Philip Larkin poem "An Arundel Tomb."
Note. Lewes Priory was more formally know as the Priory of St. Pancras.

==Biography==
===Name===
Eleanor is most often referred to as "Eleanor de Lancaster" or Eleanor of Lancaster -- the name her husband used on her tomb.
She is sometimes referred to as "Eleanor Plantagenet." The surname "Plantagenet" has been retrospectively applied to the descendants of Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou and Empress Matilda without historical justification: it is simply a convenient, if deceptive, method of referring to people who had, in fact, no surname. The first descendant of Geoffrey to use the surname was Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York (father of both Edward IV of England and Richard III of England) who apparently assumed it about 1448. Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Lancaster Eleanor of Lancaster]
During her first marriage she was "Lady Beaumont."
After her second marriage she was also Eleanor, Countess of Arundel.Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Lancaster Eleanor of Lancaster]
===Birth and Parentage===

===First marriage to John of Beaumont===
Eleanor married first on 6 November 1330 John de Beaumont, 2nd Baron Beaumont (d. 1342),
He was the son of Henry Beaumont, 4th Earl of Buchan, 1st Baron Beaumont (c.1288-1340) by his wife Alice Comyn (1289-3 July 1349).
John de Beaumont died in a tournament on 14 April 1342.
They had one son, born to Eleanor in Ghent whilst serving as lady-in-waiting to Queen Philippa of Hainault:
====Child====
[[Beaumont-18|Henry Beaumont]], 3rd Baron Beaumont, (4 April 1340 - 25 July 1369[3]), the first husband of Lady Margaret de Vere (d. 15 June 1398), the daughter of John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford by his wife Maud de Badlesmere. Henry and Margaret had one son, John Beaumont, 4th Baron Beaumont KG (1361-1396).
There are presently three additional persons shown as children of Eleanor and John. These are not their children and therefore further research is required to place them properly:#[[Beaumont-8|Maud Beaumont]], b.

===Second Marriage to Richard FitzAlan===
On 5 February 1344 at Ditton Church, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, [[#S96]] she married Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel. He is also sometimes referred to as Richard de Arundel.
Nicknamed "Cropped Hat", he was born about 1306 in Arundel, Sussex.
His previous marriage, to Isabel le Despenser, had taken place when they were children. It was annulled by Papal mandate as she, since her father's attainder and execution, had ceased to be of any importance to him. Pope Clement VI obligingly annulled the marriage, bastardized the issue, and provided a dispensation for his second marriage to the woman with whom he had been living in adultery (the dispensation, dated 4 March 1344/1345, was required because his first and second wives were first cousins).
He died 24 Jan 1375.

Her husband survived her by four years, and was buried beside her; in his will Richard requests to be buried "near to the tomb of Eleanor de Lancaster, my wife; and I desire that my tomb be no higher than hers, that no men at arms, horses, hearse, or other pomp, be used at my funeral, but only five torches...as was about the corpse of my wife, be allowed."
In addition to their tombs in Lews Priory, there are memorial effigies attributed to Eleanor and her husband Richard Fitzalan, 10th Earl of Arundel in Chichester Cathedral. These are the subject of the Philip Larkin poem "An Arundel Tomb."
Note. Lewes Priory was more formally know as the Priory of St. Pancras.

}Eleanor of Lancaster is in a trail badged by the Magna Carta Project to surety barons Hugh and Roger Bigod (see [[#Magna Carta Project|text below]]).
==Biography==
}
===Name===Eleanor is most often referred to as "Eleanor de Lancaster" or Eleanor of Lancaster -- the name her husband used on her tomb.
She is sometimes referred to as "Eleanor Plantagenet." The surname "Plantagenet" has been retrospectively applied to the descendants of Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou and Empress Matilda without historical justification: it is simply a convenient, if deceptive, method of referring to people who had, in fact, no surname. The first descendant of Geoffrey to use the surname was Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York (father of both Edward IV of England and Richard III of England) who apparently assumed it about 1448. Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Lancaster Eleanor of Lancaster]
During her first marriage she was "Lady Beaumont."
After her second marriage she was also Eleanor, Countess of Arundel.Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Lancaster Eleanor of Lancaster]
===Birth and Parentage===
She was born 11 September 1318 Burke's Guide to the Royal Family. Burke's Peerage Ltd., London. 1973. p. 196. ISBN 0220662223, cited by Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Lancaster Eleanor of Lancaster] in Grosmont Castle, Monmouthshire, Wales,Reference was to "#S96" but there was no 'S96' target. the fifth daughter of Henry Plantagenet , 3rd Earl of Lancaster and Maud de Chaworth.[http://our-royal-titled-noble-and-commoner-ancestors.com/p123.htm#i3684 Eleanor Plantagenet], "Our Royal, Titled, Noble, and Commoner Ancestors and Cousins" (website, compiled by Mr. Marlyn Lewis, Portland, OR; accessed September 9, 2015), citing Richardson's ''Magna Carta Ancestry, Plantagenet Ancestry,'' and ''Royal Ancestry.''
===First marriage to John of Beaumont===
Eleanor married first on 6 November 1330 John de Beaumont, 2nd Baron Beaumont (d. 1342),
He was the son of Henry Beaumont, 4th Earl of Buchan, 1st Baron Beaumont (c.1288-1340) by his wife Alice Comyn (1289-3 July 1349).
John de Beaumont died in a tournament on 14 April 1342.
They had one son, born to Eleanor in Ghent whilst serving as lady-in-waiting to Queen Philippa of Hainault:
====Child====
[[Beaumont-18|Henry Beaumont]], 3rd Baron Beaumont, (4 April 1340 – 25 July 1369[3]), the first husband of Lady Margaret de Vere (d. 15 June 1398), the daughter of John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford by his wife Maud de Badlesmere. Henry and Margaret had one son, John Beaumont, 4th Baron Beaumont KG (1361-1396).
There are presently three additional persons shown as children of Eleanor and John. These are not their children and therefore further research is required to place them properly:#[[Beaumont-8|Maud Beaumont]], b. Sherrill, Devon, d. 1367 in Haccombe, Devon.#[[De Beaumont-164|William Beaumont]], b. 1342 in Sherwill, Dorsetshire#[[De Beaumont-165|John II Beaumont]], b. 1344 in Sherwill, Dorsetshire
===Second Marriage to Richard FitzAlan===
On 5 February 1344 at Ditton Church, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, she married Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel. He is also sometimes referred to as Richard de Arundel.
Nicknamed "Cropped Hat", he was born about 1306 in Arundel, Sussex.
His previous marriage, to Isabel le Despenser, had taken place when they were children. It was annulled by Papal mandate as she, since her father's attainder and execution, had ceased to be of any importance to him. Pope Clement VI obligingly annulled the marriage, bastardized the issue, and provided a dispensation for his second marriage to the woman with whom he had been living in adultery (the dispensation, dated 4 March 1344/1345, was required because his first and second wives were first cousins).
He died 24 Jan 1375.
====Children====

===Death and Burial===
She died in 11 January 1372 (aged 60) in Arundel, Sussex
"Eleanor died at Arundel and was buried at Lewes Priory in Lewes, Sussex, England. Her husband survived her by four years, and was buried beside her; in his will Richard requests to be buried "near to the tomb of Eleanor de Lancaster, my wife; and I desire that my tomb be no higher than hers, that no men at arms, horses, hearse, or other pomp, be used at my funeral, but only five torches...as was about the corpse of my wife, be allowed."
