Desideree de Leybourne 
Desideree de was born about 1269 in Leybourne, Malling, Kent, England. Desideree de's father was Roger II de Leybourne , of Elham, Sir and her mother was Eleanor de Ferrers. Her paternal grandparents were Roger de Leybourne , Lord of Berwick and Eleanor de Turnham , Heir of Great Berwick. She had a half-brother named William 1st Baron de. She died after 1329.General Notes
He [Geoffrey de Lucy] married DesiderÈe, whose parentage is not known (h). He died before 20 January 1304/5, the date of the writs to the escheators (i). His widow was summoned to attend the Coronation of Edward II, and was living in 1329. [Complete Peerage VIII:260, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
(h) She was possibly a Leyburn; on 23 Dec 1284, his marriage was granted to William de Leyburn; later Henry de Leyburn was one of his trustees.
(i) There are inqs. for cos. Beds, Bucks, and Herts, the last showing settlements by William de Leyburn.
---------------------------------
Note: Based on the above, which indicates that Desideree was a close relative of William de Leyburn; and going by her approximate birth date (1269), I am speculating that she was his half sister by William's father Roger and his 2nd wife Eleanor de Ferrers. The only other likely parents for Desideree would be William himself by an unknown 1st wife or mistress. I haven't seen any indication that he had such a wife or mistress, but he could well have.
