Ellen de Lathom

From Miscellanea Palatina, 1850:

Elena de Lathom, this posthumous daughter and heiress of Thomas de Lathom, born in February 1381, has escaped the notice of previous genealogists. The Duke of Lancaster took possession of her lands as superior Lord within that year. In 1385, 9 Richard II, he complained in Parliament- of Sir John Stanley having entered thereon, under pretext of an entail on his wife Isabella, without livery or process in the Palatine Courts, which the Judges condemned on reference to them, but the complaint was limited to this point. An Inquisition taken after the death of Sir John Torbock, military tenant of Knowsley in 12 Richard II, mentions that Knowsley was in the Duke's hands at Sir John's death, February 8, 1387, by reason of Elena's nonage. She is not precisely named as living in any known document, after 1385 ; and whether her aunt subsequently succeeded by course of law, or on her niece's demise, does not appear.'
