Eleanor de Bohun, Countess of Ormond

1304 - 1363  (58 years)

• Name	Eleanor de Bohun
  Birth	17 Oct 1304  [1, 2, 4]
  The birth date of Eleanor is the most difficult to determine. Within a petition to Parliament in 1425, it was stated she was younger than her sister Margaret,25 and Complete Peerage has followed this source. But the Llanthony Abbey Cartulary, written in the lifetime of Eleanor, specifically states she was the elder surviving daughter, and lists her after twin brothers Edward & William, and before sister Margaret. [1]

  In the Autumn of 1327, she was enfeoffed [given freehold property or land in exchange for their pledged service] with Kilpeck Castle and other properties.
  Will	20 Aug 1363 (58 years)  [2]
  Death	7 Oct 1363	Vachery Manor, Cranleigh, Surrey, England   [1, 3, 4, 5]
