* * * * * * * * * * * NOTE - There are TWO daughters named Elizabeth Beauchamp of cousins named Richard (both Earls - one of Worcester and one of Warwick).
Elizabeth Beauchamp was born September 16, 1415, at Hanley Castle, Worcestershire (see note below). She was the only child of Isabel le Despenser and her first husband, Richard de Beauchamp, who was created Earl of Worcester in February 1420/1 and killed at the Siege of Meaux in France on March 18, 1421/2.[1][2] Elizabeth was considered Baroness Bergavenny.[3]
Elizabeth Beauchamp (born 1415), daughter of Richard, 1st Earl of Worcester, married Edward Neville (born aft. 1402),[4] son of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmoreland.[1] They were married by dispensation, "they being related in the 4th and 3rd degree of kindred", dated August 28, 1428 (see note below).[1] Edward was the youngest son of Ralph[5][6] by his wife Joan Beaufort.[1]
Children
Edward and Elizabeth (Beauchamp) Neville had four children:[1]
George Neville, Knt., (Lord Bergavenny) baptized about 1440, aged 36 in 1476, married first Margaret Fenne,[7] and second to Elizabeth (unknown) before February 29, 1488/9.[1][8]
Elizabeth (Beauchamp) Neville died June 18, 1448[10] and was buried at the Carmelites, Coventry, Warwickshire.[1]
Elizabeth's husband, Edward, remarried to Katherine Howard by dispensation dated 15 October 1448 and they had five children.[1] Sir Edward Neville died 18 October 1476.[1]
Research Notes
Birth and Marriage Dates
Richardson, 2nd Edition, 2011, has "born at Hanley Castle, Worcestershire 16 Sept. 1415 (aged 18 in 1436)." - if born 1415, she'd be aged 21 in 1436.
Normally when Richardson includes a reference such as that, it ties to a date in the entry (e.g, a parent's death date), but the only other 1436 was when Edward Neville was first "presented to the church." However, this profile included a marriage date of October 15, 1436. Given her age, it would seem that the dispensation, dated August 28, 1428, was for a marriage contract and they actually married in 1436. The last reference noted for Elizabeth's entry in Richardson includes an even earlier date, citing a "receipt dated 9 Sept. 1424 for the aid to the marriage of Edward Neville and Elizabeth Beauchamp". Whether born in 1415 or 18 by 1436, she was quite young when her father died and her mother remarried (in 1423). It appears her step-father wasted no time in arranging a marriage for the pre-teen Elizabeth.
George, the second son (first surviving) of Edward and Elizabeth, was born about 1440. 1436 was most likely when the marriage was consummated.
The Cousins Elizabeth Beauchamp
NOTE: Her mother, Isabel Despenser, married two men named Richard de Beauchamp, who were first cousins.
William is the son of Thomas Beauchamp-74, great grandfather of Elizabeth of Worcester (Beauchamp-78).

Elizabeth's Wikipedia entry (with several warnings on the page about a lack of sources, but from a cursory look, the info given [18 Dec 2017] seems OK)

I am looking for Elizabeth Beauchamp abt 1415-abt 1455-1468, married Sir Thomas Swynford Jr, 1406-1440. Some sources claim she married twice, second marriage to Edward Neville. I think her father was William of Powick Beauchamp. Anyone help?
citation for the intro to children was meant to cover all four of the children listed.... so {Citation needed} for Katherine m Iwardby is Richardson (specifically, page 167)
update: the profile has only the four children listed by Richardson attached. And my editing's done. :D
Hi! Jane and Thomas are not children of theirs that I can find. If you have documentation, please add it, otherwise they need to be disconnected from Edward & Elizabeth. Thanks!
