Notes:
Marriage Contract:
"It is odd that Elizabeth arranged the marriage of her younger surviving daughter, who was only in her fourth year, before that of her elder. But along with the earl and countess of Hereford, Margaret of France, the widowed queen of Edward I, was also a party to the contract on young Margaret de Bohun’s behalf. The queen, who remained very close to her stepdaughter the countess of Hereford, was no doubt godmother to this Margaret, which may have been a factor in why she was chosen over her elder sister for the Courtenay marriage."
Children:
- Sir Phillip Courtenay died on 29 Jul 1406 in Exeter, Devonshire, England.
- Elizabeth de Courtenay died on 7 Aug 1395.
