Juliana Leybourne
Juliana Leybourne , Countess of Huntingdon (* 1303 or 1304 - † between October 31 and November 2, 1367 ) was an English noblewoman.
Origins and marriages
Juliana Leybourn was the daughter of Thomas of Leybourne and his wife Alice de Tosny († 1325). Her father died in May 1307, and after the death of her grandfather William de Leyburn, 1st Baron Leyburn in 1310, she became the heir to his extensive estates in Kent and Sussex . Her mother married Guy de Beauchamp, 10th Earl of Warwick , in early 1309 . During her minority Aymer de Valence, 2nd Earl of Pembroke Juliana's guardian, who married her to his nephew John Hastings, 2nd Baron Hastings before May 4, 1321 . Hastings died on January 20, 1325, after which Juliana married Sir Thomas Blount , later Baron Blount and steward of the king's household , before September 1325 . Her second husband also died early, after his death on August 17, 1328, she married before October 17, 1328 William Clinton († 1354), who was elevated to Earl of Huntingdon in 1337.
Juliana lived with her third husband mainly in Maxstoke , Warwickshire , but her favorite place of residence was Preston Manor in Kent, where she later lived as a rich widow. She was at least a supporter of handicrafts, if she did not also make embroidery herself. Embroidery showing the coats of arms of Leybourne and the Earl of Huntingdon and therefore most likely from their possession has been preserved.
heritage
From their first marriage, she had a son, Lawrence Hastings, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1320-1348). Although he left a son, John Hastings , Juliana bequeathed her extensive possessions to King Edward III in 1362 after the death of her third husband in 1354 . and only retained a lifelong right to use some goods with the right to donate them to the church. She was buried in St Anne's Chapel in St Augustine's Abbey in Canterbury . The king used the goods left to him mainly for his own foundations, including the Dominican branch of Kings Langley in Hertfordshire and the Dominican branch of Dartford in Kent, which were also to serve the memory of Julianas. King Edward's successor Richard II wanted to give the Leybourne inheritance together with the title of Earl of Huntingdon to his favorite Sir Simon de Burley , who died in 1388.
