Eleanor of Lancaster, Countess of Arundel. The fifth daughter of Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster and Maud Chaworth.

In 1956, Philip Larkin visited the tomb at Chichester Cathedral, and was so emotionally inspired, that he wrote and published the poem 'An Arundel Tomb' about Richard FitzAlan de Arundel and his second wife Eleanor Plantagenet FitzAlan de Arundel.
