Birth date given as "June 11, 1426" - possibly fictitious precision, but she can't have been born much before that (parents married 1423) or after that (father died 1429).

She has been lumbered with: Eleanor de Moleyns, Lady of Hungerford and Alice de Hungerford, both said to have been born "1435" (what, when she was *nine*?), Catherine Leventhorpe, Lady de la Warre ("1436" - she would have been *ten*), and three within three years (1444, 1445, 1446): Friswold Hungerford, Frideswide Hungerford, and Leonard Hungerford. (Friswold and Frideswide may possibly have been fraternal boy-girl twins, if they were for real.)

The only children known with absolute certainty to have been hers are Sir Thomas Hungerford, of Rowden and Sir Walter Hungerford, and their birth dates are not known with certainty.
