The birth date of Eleanor is the most difficult to determine.

But the Llanthony Abbey Cartulary, written in the lifetime of Eleanor, specifically states she was the elder surviving daughter, and lists her after twin brothers Edward & William, and before sister Margaret.

In the Autumn of 1327, she was enfeoffed [given freehold property or land in exchange for their pledged service] with Kilpeck Castle and other properties.

Her will was proved.
