Web Notes notes for Eleanor DE BRAOSE
From "A New History of Ireland", v IX, p 174:
Her descendants were de Bohun lords of Aghaboe & Carnew.
Eleanor never lived to see her husband's tragic death at Beeston castle. He was Humphrey de Bohun, a loyal supporter of Simon de Montfort. His father, the earl of Hereford and Essex, had deserted the cause but Humphrey died of his wounds after fighting for de Montfort at the battle of Evesham. Eleanor's inheritance of Brecon passed to her son, also Humphrey, who succeeded his grandfather to the earldom in 1275.
