Eleanor, illegit. da. of Edmund Holand, earl of Kent, CP, iii. 346 errs in stating that her fa. was Thomas Holand, earl of Kent: see PROME, x. 461-3; Genealogist, n.s. xxviii. 62. However, since the marriage of Lord Audley and Eleanor Holand had not been consummated by Feb. 1430, it is perhaps more likely that Elizabeth’s mother was Audley’s first wife, Margaret Roos, and that Elizabeth was a full sister rather than half-sister of John Audley* alias Tuchet. 1s. 1da.; (3) Joan (fl.1479).
