My apologies in advance if this is not the corect board to post this to.
Eleanor Nottingham (b.1394) married to Simon Cheney (b.1392)is supposed to be the daughter of John Nottingham (AKA John Mowbray, 1st Earl of Nottingham)who was the eldest son of John De Mowbray and Elizabeth Segrave.
I can not find any support for this fact. According to Wikipedia: John Mowbray was created Earl of Nottingham by Richard II. The earl died unmarried, his earldom dying with him.
Everyone that has this link in their tree seems to ignor this fact in order to tie them selves directly to Edward I of England. Which by the way I would like to do! But no - I had to go checking on the validity of my blood line!
Has anybody else stumbled onto this or is it just me? Any help will be helpful!
