Biography
Eleanor Bourchier was a member of the aristocracy in British Isles.
Eleanor married John Mowbray, who was a ward of her mother's, by 1424, when they were both children. A dispensation for them to stay married was dated 9 March 1433/4.[1][2][3]
In July 1437 she was summoned to attend the funeral in Canterbury Cathedral of Joan of Navarre, widow of Henry IV.[2]
In 1470 she made a presentation to the living of the church at Westwick, Norfolk.[2]
She died in 1474 and was buried at Thetford, Norfolk.[1][2]
Research Notes
One or two poorly evidenced online sources[4] give Anne as her forename with Eleanor as alternate. Douglas Richardson, Cokayne's Complete Peerage and other sources state the forename was Eleanor.
