  === Life Sketch ===
  Eleanor Fitzalan (c. 1284 – July/August 1328) was an alleged daughter of Richard FitzAlan, 1st Earl of Arundel and his wife Alice of Saluzzo. She became the wife of Henry de Percy, 1st Baron Percy. Their son was Henry de Percy, 2nd Baron Percy.
  
  Standard accounts of the Percy family identify Eleanor as the daughter of the "Earl of Arundel". Arrangements for Eleanor's marriage to Lord Percy are found in the recognizance made in 1300 by Eleanor's father, Richard, Earl of Arundel, for a debt of 2,000 marks which he owed Sir Henry Percy. Eleanor was styled as a "kinswoman" of Edward II on two occasions; once in 1318 and again in 1322 presumably by her descent from Amadeus IV, Count of Savoy who was the brother of Edward II's great-grandmother, Beatrice of Savoy. Eleanor's brothers, Edmund and John were also styled as "kinsmen" of the king. Eleanor's identity is further indicated by the presence of the old and new arms of FitzAlan (or Arundel) at her tomb.

  According to Weis, Eleanor's parentage is uncertain. "It seems likely (she) was of the family of FitzAlans, Earls of Arundel, but exact connection is not established." She was sister of Sir Richard de Arundel. As "the King's bachelor," he was granted lands in March, 1314, for his sustenance in the King's service. He was captured at Bannockburn and died in November, 1314, his sister Eleanor being his executrix. Their parentage is obscure. She is called daughter of the earl of Arundel in a Percy genealogy, and she has usually been affiliated to Richard, earl of Arundel, born February 3, 1266/67. This would make her the sister of earl Edmund, born May 1, 1285. But Richard and Eleanor are ignored in accounts of the FitzAlan/Arundel family. Moreover, Richard seems to have been a man of no importance, who apparently did not hold any lands except those given him by the King. The fact that his sister was his executrix, and that there is no reference to any other relation, may perhaps suggest that he was not the brother of the earl of Arundel. Prima facie it seem unlikely that Henry de Percy would marry into some obscure family, although he may have been betrothed or married when his elder brother was still alive. However, Richardson believes that she was indeed the daughter of Richard FitzAlan, 8th earl of Arundel.
