Elizabeth of Rhuddlan (7 August 1282 – 5 May 1316) was the eighth and youngest 
daughter of King Edward I and Queen Eleanor of Castile. Of all of her siblings, she 
was closest to her younger brother King Edward II, as they were only two years apart 
in age.
First marriage[edit]

In April 1285 there were negotiations with Floris V for Elizabeth's betrothal to his son 
John I, Count of Holland. The offer was accepted and John was sent to England to be 
educated. On 8 January 1297 Elizabeth was married to John at Ipswich. In attendance 
at the marriage were Elizabeth's sister Margaret, her father, Edward I of England, her 
brother Edward, and Humphrey de Bohun. After the wedding Elizabeth was expected 
to go to Holland with her husband, but did not wish to go, leaving her husband to go 
alone.

After some time travelling England, it was decided Elizabeth should follow her 
husband. Her father accompanied her, travelling through the Southern Netherlands 
between Antwerp, Mechelen, Leuven and Brussels, before ending up in Ghent. There 
they remained for a few months, spending Christmas with her two sisters Eleanor and 
Margaret. On 10 November 1299, John died of dysentery, though there were rumours 
of his murder. No children had been born from the marriage.

Second marriage[edit]

On her return trip to England, Elizabeth went through Brabant to see her sister 
Margaret. When she arrived in England, she met her stepmother Margaret, whom 
Edward had married while she was in Holland. On 14 November 1302 Elizabeth was 
married to Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford, 3rd of Essex, also Constable of 
England, at Westminster Abbey.[citation needed]

Later life[edit]

During Christmas 1315, Elizabeth, who was pregnant with her eleventh child, was 
visited by her sister-in-law, Queen Isabella of France. This was a great honour, but the 
stress of it may have caused unknown health problems that later contributed to 
Elizabeth's death in childbirth.[citation needed] On 5 May 1316 she went into labour, 
giving birth to her daughter Isabella. Both Elizabeth and her daughter Isabella died 
shortly after the birth, and were buried together in Waltham Abbey.
