Heiress Eleanor de Mohaut la Zouche of Bingley 
Eleanor was born before 1273 in Bingley with Micklethwaite, Keighley, West Ride Yorkshire, England. Eleanor's father is John de Mohaut and her mother was Millicent de Cantilupe. Her paternal grandparents were Roger de Mohaut and Cicely d'Aubigney; her maternal grandparents were Baron William de Cantilupe III of Abergavenny and Eva Braose. She had a half-brother and three half-sisters, named William, Lucy, Eve and Elizabeth. She died in 1300 in Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire (and Ashill,Norfolk), England.General Notes
OCCUPATION: Received manor of Bingley, co. York, as maritagim; married, evidently as a child by 1286.ALIAS: Eleanor Ellen la Zouche, Heiress of Bingley
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 (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.
Certainly if Ellen held Bingley in 1284-5, she was probably of age (her mother did not die until 1298/99), which means she could have been born before 1264, which would certainly make her a child of John & Milicent. With that early of a birth for Ellen, the birth date of Milicent might have to be adjusted to a bit earlier date as well.
