Talbot
Katherine Talbot married Nicholas de Eyton, Sheriff of Shropshire (see Eaton). John Talbot, father of Katherine Talbort, was 1st Earl of Shrewsbury during the reign of Henry VI and the Hundred Year's War. He was born in 1384 and died in 1453.� Although Katherine Talbot does appear as the daughter of the 1st Earl of Shrewsbury in Treswell's The Visitation of Shropshire; 1623, and in The Visitations of Essex, 1552, there is however some question as to whether or not she is actually a daughter of John Talbot. The earl was married twice - first to Maud of Neville and then to Margaret of Beauchamp, but Katherine never appears as a daughter of either of these unions.
If Katherine Talbot is indeed a daughter of John Talbot, legitimate or not, then the line from Katherine to Edward I, King of England, is as follows.
Richard Talbot, grandfather of Katherine Talbot, married Ankaret le Strange, daughter and heiress of the last Lord Strange of Blackmere. Richard Talbot was born in 1361 and died in 1396. Pernel Butler, mother of Richard Talbot and great grandmother of Katherine Talbot, married Gilbert Talbot, son of Richard Talbot and Elizabeth Comyn. She was born in 1332 and died in 1368.
Eleanor de Bohun, mother of Pernel Butler and gg-grandmother of Katherine Talbot, married James Butler 1st Earl of Ormond, son of Edmund Butler. She was born circa 1314 and died in 1363. She was the ancestress of the Butler dukes and earls of Ormond. She is an ancestress of Queen Elizabeth I, whose mother Anne Boleyn was half Butler of Ormond.
Elizabeth Plantagenet of Rhuddlan, mother of Eleanor de Bohun and ggg-grandmother of Katherine Talbot, was born in August 1282 at Rhuddlan Castle. She married John I, Count of Holland, on 18 January 1297 at Ipswich. She married Humphrey de Bohun 4th Earl of Hereford on 14 November 1302 at Westminster. She died on 5 May 1316 at England at age 33.
[She] was born the eighth daughter of Edward I of England and Eleanor of Castile. Of all her siblings, she was closest to her younger brother Edward II of England, as they were only two years apart in age.
In April 1285 there were negotiations with Floris V for Elizabeth's betrothal to his son John I, Count of Holland. The offer was accepted and John was sent to England to be educated. On 8 January 1297 Elizabeth was married to John at Ipswich. In attendance at the marriage were Elizabeth's sister Margaret, her father, Edward I of England, her brother Edward, and Humphrey de Bohun. After the wedding Elizabeth was expected to go to Holland with her husband, but did not wish to go, leaving her husband to go alone.
After some time travelling England, it was decided Elizabeth should follow her husband. Her father accompanied her, travelling through Antwerp, Malines, Louvain and Brussels, before ending up in Ghent. There they remained for a few months, spending Christmas with her two sister's Eleanor of England, Countess of Bar and Margaret Plantagenet. On 10 November 1299, John died of dysentery, though there were rumours of his being murdered. No children had been born from the marriage.
On her return trip to England, Elizabeth went through Brabant to see her sister Margaret. When she arrived in England, she met her step mother Margaret of France, whom Edward had married whilst she was in Holland. Reportedly, they became inseparable. On 14 November 1302 Elizabeth was married to Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford, also Constable of England, at Westminster Abbey.
During Christmas 1315 Elizabeth, who was pregnant with her 10th child, was visited by her sister-in-law Isabella of France. This was a great honor, but the stress of it may have caused unknown health problems that later contributed to Elizabeth's death in childbirth. On 5 May 1316 she went into labor, giving birth to her daughter Isabella. Both Elizabeth and Isabella died shortly after the birthing, and were buried together in Waltham Abbey.
Edward I (Longshanks) King of England was born on 17 June 1239 at Westminster Palace, London, England. He married Eleanor of Castile, daughter of Ferdinand III King of Castile, in October 1254 at Las Huelgas. He reigned 35 years from 1272 to 1307. He married Marguerite of France on 10 September 1299 at Canterbury, Cathedral. He died on 7 July 1307 at Burgh-by-Sands, Cumberland, England, at age 68. He was buried at Westminster Abbey, London, England.
If Cordelia Pickering is in fact the mother of Della Gaume DeBacker and Katherine Talbot is indeed the daughter of John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury then Edward I of England, is my 21st great-grandfather. This connection to royal lines is discussed in� A Tangled Web.
