Acknowledgments

Magna Carta Project

Elizabeth (Bosvile) Pelham is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry as a Gateway Ancestor (vol. I, pages xxiii-xxix) in a Richardson-documented trail to Magna Carta Surety Barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod (vol. I, pages 261-265 BOSVILE). Portions of this trail need further development by the Project. The trails are set out in the Magna Carta Trails section of her father's profile.

• Needs Development: This profile needs development against the project's checklist to bring it up to current project standards. ~ Thiessen-117 00:27, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Both Elizabeth's husbands, Roger Harlakenden and Herbert Pelham are Gateway Ancestors. Roger was also a descendant of the Bigods and Herbert descends from William de Mowbray.
