From Medlands:

  [ELEANOR (-before 6 Jun 1301).  According to the Complete Peerage, the wife of Sir Henry de Grey was “Eleanor daughter of Sir Hugh de Courtenay”[461].  The same work suggests that this was Sir Hugh who married Eleanor le Despencer.  However, this does not appear to be an ideal fit from a chronological point of view, assuming that Sir Hugh le Despencer is identified as the Sir Hugh who was killed at the battle of Evesham in 1265.  The Complete Peerage records that this Sir Hugh le Despencer married “in or before 1260” Aline Basset, their son Sir Hugh le Despencer being born 1 Mar 1261[462].  This would fit approximately with the estimated birth date of Hugh de Courtenay, son of Sir Hugh de Courtenay and Eleanor, in [1275].  However, the wife of Sir Henry de Grey would presumably have been born in the early 1260s, assuming that her marriage is correctly estimated to before [1281/82].  If that last date is correct, Eleanor, wife of Sir Henry, would more likely have been born in the previous Courtenay generation.  The problem is that a “Sir Hugh de Courtenay” has not yet been identified in that earlier generation.  m (before [1281/82]%29 as his first wife, Sir HENRY de Grey of Codnor, Derbyshire, son of Sir JOHN de Grey & his wife Lucy de Mohun of Dunster, Somerset (-Sep 1308).  He was summoned to Parliament in 1299 whereby he is held to have become Lord Grey.]
