Caution
Numerous genealogies show an Elizabeth Courtenay, daughter of Henry Courteney and Gertrude Blount, as the wife of David Ashels. Henry Courteney was at one time, before his execution, one of the most powerful men of England, and, one can assume, his children were relatively well documented. There is no Elizabeth among them.
Since Henry was executed 9 December 1538, Elizabeth would need to have been conceived while he was a prisoner and born after his death.
Biography
Birth
Some claim that Elizabeth was born 1539 in Middlesex, England. [1]
Parentage
Some genealogies claim she was the daughter Sir Henry Courtenay, 1st Marquess of Exeter and Gertrude Blount, and therefore sister of Edward Courtenay, 1st Earl of Devon and Henry Courteney (see Caution, above)[1]
Marriage
Some claim that she married David Ashels[citation needed] and was the mother of Mary Ashels[citation needed] who married Parker [1]
Death
Some claim that Elizabeth died 1570 in Middlesex, England[1]

Elizabeth's LNAB probably should be "Unknown". However, at this point we know so little about David and Elizabeth, that it would probably be better to wait for research so that we know a little bit more about them, and that might influence what her best LNAB is.
