--------------------

He [Robert de Willoughby] married, 3rdly, Elizabeth, de jure suo jure (according to modern doctrine) BARONESS LATIMER, widow of John (DE NEVILLE), 3rd LORD NEVILLE (of Raby), daughter and heir of William (LE LATIMER), 4th LORD LATIMER, by his wife Elizabeth. She died 5 November 1395 and was probably buried at Spilsby (h). Will dated 18 October at Eresby, directing burial at Spilsby, proved 10 November 1395 at Lincoln. He died 9 August 1396 and was buried at Spilsby.  [Complete Peerage XII/2:660-1, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(h) The statement that she was buried at Guisborough, co. York, is based on an obit, giving her date of death, taken from a Guisborough Priory calendar.  There is, however, no mention of her burial there in a list of Guisborough, sepulcures, and it is far more likely that she was buried, in accordance with her will, at Spilsby, where her effigy appears on her 2nd husband's tomb.
