Elizabeth Clifton 
Elizabeth was born in 1395 in Buckenham Castle, Wayland, Norfolk, England. Elizabeth's father was Constantine 2nd Baron de Clifton and her mother was Margaret Howard. Her paternal grandparents were John 1st Baron de Clifton and Elizabeth de Cromwell. She had a brother named John "3rd Baron" de. She was the younger of the two children. She died at the age of 52 on December 1st, 1447 in Buckenham Castle, Wayland, Norfolk, England.1 General Notes
His [John de Clifton's] only sister, Elizabeth, wife of Sir John Knyvett, was his heir, being ancestress of Sir Philip Knyvett, Bart., who alienated the Castle of Buckenham, about 1650, and whose issue male became extinct on the death of his son, about 1699. [Complete Peerage III:308]
NOTE: I have Elizabeth, her daughter born at Buckenham. This is an inaccurate short-cut (merely to show her inheritance of the property), in that Buckenham was not inherited from John de Clifton until after he died, 1 Dec 1447.
