Elizabeth le Despenser

Elizabeth le Despenser

Elizabeth Despenser (died April 10, 1408) was an English noblewoman of the late 14th century. She should not be confused with another woman of that name, the daughter of Eleanor de Clare.

She was the daughter of Sir Edward le Despencer, 1st Baron le Despencer, by Elizabeth Burghersh, daughter and heiress of Bartholomew de Burghersh, 2nd Baron Burghersh.

She married Sir John Fitzalan, 2nd Lord Arundel. They had three sons:

* John de Arundel, Lord Maltravers, and Lord Arundel.
* Thomas Fitzalan.
* Edward/Edmund Arundel.
* Margaret (married to William de Ros, 7th Baron de Ros)

Sir John de Arundel, 2nd Baron Arundel, died on 14 August, 1390, and was buried at Missenden Abbey, Buckinghamshire. Elizabeth married secondly, apparently after 28 April, 1393 (as his second wife), William la Zouche, 3rd Baron Zouche of Haryngworth (d. 13 May, 1396). They had no children.

Her will requested burial at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire.
