Biography

Eleanor Brandon was the daughter of William Brandon, Knt., and Elizabeth Wingfield.^[1][2][3] Her date and place of birth are unknown and are estimated.

Eleanor was one of the cousins [aunt] and heirs of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk.^[4]

Eleanor married John Glemham, Esq.,^[3] of Glemham, Suffolk, son of John Glemham and Katherine Rochford. John was first married to Anne _____, who died 5 March 1466.^[1] They had three sons and three daughters:

• John, Knt.^[1]
• William^[1]
• Henry^[1]
• Katherine, a nun^[1]
• Anne, wife of Henry Palgrave, Esq.^[1][5]
• Elizabeth, wife of ______ Jeffrey, Gent.^[1]

Eleanor is said to have died on 30 June 1480. Her husband left a will proved in 1499 and was buried at Little Glemham, Suffolk.^[1]

Although Eleanor is supposed to have died in 1480, she was named in the will her mother, Elizabeth Brandon, which was proved 8 May 1497 and left a "remainder to Eleanor Glemham, my daughter",^[6] so perhaps the date of death on Eleanor's brass is incorrect.^[5] From SGM: "Joan Corder's edition of the Suffolk visitation (1984), on p. 243 does show Eleanor Brandon's death date as 30 June 1480. The source for the date is a memorial brass for the couple in the church of Glemham Parva (Little Glemham) as recorded in MacCulloch's Chorography of Suffolk."^[7]

This profile was developed for the Magna Carta Project on 15 Mar 2021 by Thiessen-117 and reviewed/approved for the Project by Michael Cayley on 19 March 2021.

Eleanor (Brandon) Glemham is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Richard Palgrave to Magna Carta Surety Baron Roger Bigod (vol. I, pages 297-303 BRANDON). This profile has also been identified in trails from Richard Palgrave to other surety barons, including Robert de Vere, Saher de Quincy, Hugh le Bigod, Richard de Clare, Gilbert de Clare and John de Lacy. All these trails were badged on 19 March 2021. See the Magna Carta Trails section of Edward Palgrave's profile to view the profiles in these trails.

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
