  • Princess of England
  • AKA: Lady Elizabeth Plantagenet

Elizabeth, Princess of England was born 7 August 1282 in Rhuddlan Castle, Denbighshire, Wales, United Kingdom to Edward I of England (1239-1307) and Eleanor of Castile (1241-1290) and died 5 May 1316 Quendon, Essex, England, United Kingdom of unspecified causes. She married Jan I van Holland (1284-1299) 8 January 1297 JL in Ipswich, England, United Kingdom. She married Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford (1276-1321) 1 November 1302 JL in Westminster Abbey, Greater London, England.

Elizabeth of Rhuddlan was the eighth and youngest daughter of King Edward I of England and Queen Eleanor of Castile. Of all of her siblings, she was closest to her younger brother King Edward II, as they were only two years apart in age.[1]

First marriage

In April 1285 there were negotiations with Floris V for Elizabeth's betrothal to his son John I, Count of Holland.[2] The offer was accepted and John was sent to England to be educated.[3] On 8 January 1297 Elizabeth was married to John at Ipswich.[4] In attendance at the marriage were Elizabeth's sister Margaret, her father, Edward I of England, her brother Edward, and Humphrey de Bohun. After the wedding Elizabeth was expected to go to Holland with her husband, but did not wish to go, leaving her husband to go alone. It is recorded that while in Ipswich the King, in some outburst, threw his daughter's coronet into the fire.[5] A great ruby and a great emerald, stones supplied by Adam the Goldsmith, were lost as a result.[6]

After some time travelling England, it was decided Elizabeth should follow her husband. Her father accompanied her, travelling through the Southern Netherlands between Antwerp, Mechelen, Leuven and Brussels, before ending up in Ghent.[7] There they remained for a few months, spending Christmas with her two sisters Eleanor and Margaret.[8] On 10 November 1299, John died of dysentery, though there were rumours of his murder. The marriage did not produce any heirs.[9]

Second marriage

On her return trip to England, Elizabeth went through Brabant to see her sister Margaret.[10] When she arrived in England, she met her stepmother Margaret, whom Edward had married while Elizabeth was in Holland. On 14 November 1302 Elizabeth was married to Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford, 3rd of Essex, also Constable of England, at Westminster Abbey.[11][12]

In 1302, she was pregnant and travelled from Dunfermline Abbey in Scotland to Tynemouth.[13] She gave birth to her first child, Margaret de Bohun, in September, assisted by a holy relic of the girdle of the Virgin, brought especially from Westminster Abbey.[14] Margaret died young[15] but Elizabeth would go on to have a large family, giving birth to numerous children in quick succession.[16]
