Talk:John de Mowbray, 1st Earl of Nottingham

Illegitimate issue?
The Earl may have had an illegitimate daughter, one Eleanor Nottingham (b. 1394, m. 1416 Simon Cheney, b. 1388). She is in any number of Internet genealogical tables for Cheney/Chaney/Chesney, and the usual source given is _Le Fief de Quesneto_, by R.W.L. Chesney. I can't think of any other explanation. For an ambitious fellow, marrying an earl's daughter, albeit illegitimate, could have nevertheless improved his standing and opportunities. 24.94.44.253 (talk) 20:00, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I've deleted the statement concerning this alleged daughter from the article as internet sources state that she was born in 1392, years after John de Mowbray's death. NinaGreen (talk) 17:46, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
