Biography
Eleanor the wife of Arnold Savage is thought to be the daughter of Ralph St Leger and his wife Joan. Joan's will mentions a daughter named Eleanor and she assigned Sir Arnold Savage as one of her two executors.[1] That appears to be the only proof, and so her parents should be considered uncertain.
Eleanor's own will was dated 8 October 1374.[2][3] She was described as the widow of Sir Arnold Savage, Knt and she made bequests to:
- my son Arnold
- Eleanor
- Margaret Lottwicke
- Roger Norwood, that married my daughter
She requested burial in the chancel of the priory church at Wallingford "where my Lord's [i.e. her husband's] body lieth".
