Eleanor Maltravers, 2nd Baroness Maltravers
Eleanor Maltravers, 2nd Baroness Maltravers (also Eleanor Mautravers ; Arundel or de Cobham ; * around 1346; † January 10, 1405 ) was an English noblewoman.
Eleanor Maltravers was a daughter of John Maltravers, the only son of John Maltravers, 1st Baron Maltravers , and of his wife Gwenthlian. Her father died as early as 1350, and after the death of her brother Henry, who had died childless before 1364, she and her sister Joan heir to her grandfather's estates, which included Lytchett Matravers in Dorset . He died in 1364, and after her sister had also died before 1382 without surviving children, Eleanor de iure became heir to the title of Baron Maltravers . She had been married to John Arundel , a younger son of Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel and Eleanor of Lancaster , before August 4, 1357 . After the death of her husband in 1379, she married Reginald de Cobham, 2nd Baron Cobham of Sterborough, a second marriage . Since Maurice de Berkeley, 2nd Baron Berkeley , a great-grandfather of her husband, had also been her great-grandfather, the marriage had to be dissolved because of too close relatives. However, the Archbishop William Courtenay of Canterbury gave them a dispensation , after which they could remarry on September 9, 1384. She was buried in the Lewes Priory .
