• Notes

  Eleanor is most often referred to as "Eleanor de Lancaster" or Eleanor o f L a n c a ster -- the name her husband used on her tomb. She is sometimes referred to as "Eleanor Plantagenet." The surname "Pl a n t a g enet" has been retrospectively applied to the descendants of Geoff r e y V , C o unt of Anjou and Empress Matilda without historical justificat i o n : i t i s simply a convenient, if deceptive, method of referring to pe o p l e w h o had, in fact, no surname. The first descendant of Geoffrey to u s e t h e s u rname was Richard Plantagenet , 3rd Duke of York (father of bo t h E d w a rd IV of England and Richard II I of England) who apparently ass u m e d i t a bout 1448. Wikipedia: [http: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Lancaster Eleanor o f L a n c a ster] During her first marriage she was "Lady Beaumont." After her second marriage she was also Eleanor, Countess of Arundel. She was the widow of John De Beaumont, 2nd Lord Beaumont. It is suppos e d , t h a t her father was a Plantagenet.
