Eleanor Maltravers

Eleanor Maltravers

Eleanor Maltravers, Lady Arundel (Mautravers) (1345 – January 12, 1405), was an English noblewoman and heiress during the reigns of King Edward III of England and his successors.

The younger daughter of John Maltravers (Mautravers) and his wife Gwenthin, she was co-heiress in 1350 to her brother, Henry Maltravers. She married Sir John Fitzalan (D'Arundel), 1st Lord of Arundel.

They were parents to five children:

*Joan Fitzalan (c. 1360 - September 1, 1404). She was married first to Sir William de Echingham and secondly to William de Brien.
*John Fitzalan, 2nd Lord Arundel (November 3, 1364 - August 14, 1390), who married Elizabeth le Despenser.
**They had three sons:
***John Fitzalan, 13th Earl of Arundel (1385 - 1421).
***Edmund Fitzalan.
***Sir Thomas Fitzalan of Beechwood (d. 1430). He was married to Joan Moyns.
*Richard Fitzalan (c. 1366 - June 3, 1419).
*William Arundel (c. 1369 - 1400). He was a Knight of the Garter.
* Margaret Fitzalan (c. 1372 - July 3, 1438). She was married to William de Ros, 7th Baron de Ros.

Eleanor was a legatee in the 1375 will of her step-grandmother, Agnes, Lady Maltravers. She was sole heiress in or after 1383 to her sister, Joan Maltravers, wife of Robert Roos, by which she became Lady Maltravers. Sir John Fitzalan died at sea on December 15, 1379.

Eleanor married secondly (as his second wife) Sir Reynold Cobham, 2nd Lord Cobham of Sterborough (died July 6, 1403), but in 1384 they were divorced on account of their consanguinity and subsequently allowed to remarry with proper dispensation. On her death, Eleanor was buried with her first husband, John Fitzalan.
