    • Biography

      Thomas Eland was a member of aristocracy in England.
      Some sources say that his wife is Joanna, the daughter of Gilbert Umfraville.[1] [2] [3] Others say that she is Joan, the widow of Robert Conyers.[4] The latter appears to have the best evidence.[5]

      He had a daughter, Isabella, but no male issue.[1][6]

      He was part of a multi-generational feud involving his father, who, while High Sheriff of Yorkshire, participated in a killing spree in 1341 involving Robert Beaumont of Crosland Hall. The survivors plotted their revenge and honed their skills for over a decade, killing both father and son on the Elland bridge in 1353. Their deaths ended that Eland line as their lands were acquired by daughter Isabel's husband, John Savile. [7] [8] [9] [10][11] [1]
