Biography

Katherine (FitzAlan) Deincourt was born in England.

Katherine, daughter of Edmund de Arundel, Knt., and his wife Sibyl de Montagu, married Robert Deincourt, Knt.^[1]

In 1382, their son "Robert d'Eyncourt" was party in a claim with his mother's siblings Elizabeth and Philippa who, with "Katherine (evidently deceased) being daughters of Edmund, son of Richard, late earl of Arundel".^[2]

Research Notes

Edmund's Daughters - See discussion at Medieval Genealogy, "Some corrections and additions to the Complete Peerage: Volume 1: Arundel".

The Complete Peerage, p 244, names Edmund's daughters as "Alice, who m. Sir Leonard Carew (b. 1342, d. 1370) ... and Philippe, who m. Sir Richard Sergeaux (d. 30 Sep. 1393)". Discussion of Edmund's children notes that Alice is incorrectly named as wife of Leonard Carew (instead of Elizabeth, who married John Meriet after Carew's death) and adds a daughter Katherine:

"In 1382, John Meryett, knight, and Elizabeth his wife, Richard Sergeaux, knight, and Philippa his wife and Robert d'Eyncourt, the son of Katherine, claimed that Richard, Earl of Arundel, had disseised them of a free tenement in Singleton, Sussex - Elizabeth, Philippa and Katherine (evidently deceased) being daughters of Edmund, son of Richard, late earl of Arundel [P.R.O. CP/40/487/503, transcribed with a translation in S.E. Thorne, ed., Year Books of Richard II: 6 Richard II, 1382-1383, pp.66-69 (1996)]."^[2]

Parents' Marriage: This profile, when representing Alice (1349-1384) included marriage date and place that was apparently intended as the parents' - July 1349, Arundel, Sussex, England^[3] Edmund FitzAlan de Arundel married Sibyl de Montagu before 16 July 1347 (date of papal indults).^[1]

Estimated birth date, birth place: 1350 is estimated based on her parents being married before 1347 and having two sisters; that she was born in Arundel, Sussex, England is likely but not stated in sources.

Death location: Katherine was probably living with her husband when she died. Whether or not that location was Arundel, Sussex, England is not included in the sources cited.
