Eleanor (Ellen) de Mohaut , Heiress of Bingley 
Eleanor (Ellen) de was born before 1273 in Bingley with Micklethwaite, Keighley, West Ride Yorkshire, England. Eleanor (Ellen) de's father was John de Mohaut and her mother was Milicent de Cantelou. Her maternal grandparents were William III de Cantelou , of Calne & Ashton,Sir and Eve de Braose , Heiress of Abergavenny. She had a half-brother and three half-sisters, named William 1st Baron, Elizabeth, Lucy and Eva. She died in 1300 in Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire, England.General Notes
Eleanor or Ellen, received the manor of Bingley, Yorkshire as maritagium. [Ancestral Roots]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ancestral Roots and Magna Charta Sureties both have Ellen as daughter of Eudo la Zouche and Milicent de Cantelou. Some people on World Connect have Ellen as daughter of Milicent's 1st husband, John de Mohaut. In researching the situation I came up with the following:
While MCS names her straight out as "Ellen la Zouche" and doesn't even mention John de Mohaut as 1st husband of her mother, Ancestral Roots (in line 38, which is the la Zouche line) lists her as the next generation after Eudo la Zouche (implying that Eudo was the father, while noting that Milicent de Cantelou had married John de Mohaut first), but just names her "Eleanor or Ellen" without a surname (While they almost always give a surname! Is AR hedging its bets?). AR gives as supporting evidence the following: "(Feudal Aids 6:21,23 refers to 'Elienora de Zuche' as holding the manor of Bingley of her mother 'Milisenta de Monte Alto' in 1284-5; Rev. C Moor, Knights of Edward I 2:183-184)." That quote leads me to think that Ellen was a daughter of Milicent and John de Monte Alto / Mohaut / Montalt /Montault and was "adopted" by 2nd husband Eudo la Zouche. Her mother Milicent held the manor of Bingley in the name of Monte Alto for her daughter by her first marriage.
Certainly if Ellen held Bingley in 1284-5, she might have been of age (her mother did not die until 1298/99), which means she could have been born as early as 1263, which would certainly make her a child of John & Milicent.
