Eleanor Holand (1406-)
married before September 1430
James Touchet, 5th Lord Audley
born circa 1398 Heleigh, Stafford
died 23 September 1459 Blore Heath
In January 1431 Margaret, Duchess of Clarence, together with Joan, Duchess
of York and others, presented a petition in Parliament complaining that
Eleanor called herself daughter and heir of Edmund, Earl of Kent, and denying
that Constance was ever wife of Edmund. To disprove her bastardy, Eleanor
had quietly brought action in the Court Christian of which the complainants
were not being informed. However, no record has been found in regards to
the outcome of either action.
