Marriage

Elizabeth married three times. Roskell (1981), states that:

"The mother of the Darcy heiresses, Eleanor FitzHugh, after the death of their father, married as her second husband Thomas Tunstall of Thurland (in Londsdale, Lancs.).... The most important of her children by this alliance was her son, Sir Richard Tunstall of Bentham (Yorks.) and Thurland (Lancs.), a Lancastrian courtier who was esquire of the body to Henry VI from 1452 to 1455, king's carver from 1450 to 1460, chamberlain of Chester from 1457 to 1460, and chamberlain of the exchequer from late 1459 until Edward IV's accession in 1461; he fought as a Lancastrian at Wakefield and Towton, escaped to Scotland, was attainted in 1461, went off to join the small band of Lancastrian devotees after the fall of Dunstanborough, and was still with Henry VI at the time of his capture in 1465; not until 1468 did he surrender at Harlech in return for a pardon. Eleanor FitzHugh by March 1453 had married, as her third husband, Henry Bromflete, Lord Vessy, who was summoned to Parliament as a baron between 1449 and his death in 1469; her daughter by this marriage, Strangeways' wife's young half-sister, married the Lancastrian Lord ("Butcher") Clifford.^[11]
