Plantagenet

EDWARD THE FIRST, King of England, France, and Ireland, eldest son of King Henry III, and Eleanor of Provence his Queen. Born at Westminster 17 June 1239, succeeded 1272, crowned 18 August 1274; died 7 July 1307, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. Married first Eleanor, daughter of Ferdinand III., King of Castile, and Joanna his second wife, October 1254, at the Monastery of Las Huelgas in Spain. She died at Harby, near Lincoln, November 1290, and was buried in Westminster Abbey 16 January following. The King married secondly Margaret, daughter of Philip III, of France.

Harby (formerly spelled Herdeby and Hardeby) is in Nottinghamshire, about six miles from Lincoln, and is not to be confused with the place of the same name in Leicestershire on the borders of Nottinghamshire. Queen Eleanor died at the former on 20 or 27 November, being seized with autumnal fever at the house of Richard de Weston. Her viscera were buried in the Lady Chapel of Lincoln Minster, where an alter cenotaph was erected recording the circumstance. The first of the Eleanor crosses erected by King Edward to mark the places at which her body rested on the way to Westminster Abbey was at Lincoln. From nine to fifteen (according to different authorities) of these crosses were erected, but only those at Geddinton, Northampton, and Waltham remain.

His youngest daughter by his first marriage was

1. de Bohun

LADY ELIZABETH PLANTEGENET (called "the Welshwoman"). Born at Rhuddlan, co. Flint, 1282; died 5 May 1316, and was buried at Walden Abbey.

Born 1276. Slain in Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321-2. Buried in the Church of Friars Preachers (Dominican) at York.

Lady Elizabeth Plantagenet was third daughter according to George's "Genealogical Tables," sixth daughter according to Doyle's "Official Baronage" )vol. ii, p. 163), and fifth or seventh daughter according to other authorities. Anderson's "Genealogical Tables" and Sandford's "Genealogical History of the Kings of England" give the year 1284 as that of her birth, but Professor Tout, the author of the account of her father in the "English Statesman" series, gives 1282.
