This profile was re-reviewed and revised for the Magna Carta Project on 2 October 2022 by Thiessen-117.

Elizabeth Jennings is a descendant of Magna Carta Surety Barons Saher de Quincy, John de Lacy, Gilbert de Clare and Richard de Clare in trails that were project approved/badged in May 2015 by the Magna Carta Project to Gateway Ancestor Marmaduke Beckwith. Badged trails from Beckwith to sureties William d'Aubigny and Robert de Ros were connected later. This profile also appears in a badged trail from Marmaduke Beckwith to surety barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod that was developed in Autumn 2022. Trails to the aforementioned surety barons are outlined in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile.

See Base Camp for more information about Magna Carta trails. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
