Notes

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Talbot-10

"She evidently married (1st) c.1388 to Richard (71b) son of Robert de Swillington (62a). It that year her grandfather John Talbot made a settlement of lands, and she and her husband were included in the remainders [see first fine copied below]. My guess is that Joan was very young in 1388, at least 7, but more likely 12 or 13. Joan Talbot was still young enough to have 4 children by her 3rd marriage to Simon Leek, which marriage took place in 1405. My guess is that she was born c.1375."



From “Did Elizabeth Eure marry thrice?” (SGM, Oct 15, 2015, 5:57:03 AM, Kevin Barton et al] < GoogleGroups >

Elizabeth (Mallory) Eure's parents were Sir Thomas Mallory (died before 1405) and his wife, Joan, daughter and heiress of Thomas Talbot (living 1377, died before 1388), by his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of James Belers/Bellers.

Thomas Talbot in turn was the son and heir apparent of Sir John Talbot (born c.1325, died before 1406), of Swannington, Leicestershire, and Sedgebrook, Lincolnshire, by an unknown 1st wife.

Elizabeth Mallory's mother, Joan Talbot, married (1st) Richard de Swillington (living 1388); (2nd) Thomas Mallory, Knt. (died before 1405); and (3rd) about Jan. 1405 Simon Leeke, Esq. (died c.1439), of Leake and Cotham, Nottinghamshire. Joan Talbot has many descendants by her 3rd marriage to Simon Leeke, Esq.
