Eleanor de Braose (c. 1228–1251) was a Cambro-Norman noblewoman in Great Britain, 
and a wealthy co-heiress of her father, who was the powerful Marcher lord William de 
Braose, and of her mother, Eva Marshal, a co-heiress of the Earls of Pembroke. Her 
husband was Humphrey de Bohun, heir of the 2nd Earl of Hereford, by whom she had 
children, including Humphrey de Bohun, 3rd Earl of Hereford.

daughters[1] and a co-heiress of the powerful Marcher lord William de Braose, and

Marches and Ireland.[citation needed] Eva was one of the daughters of William 
Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke by Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke, daughter 
of Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, "Strongbow".[3][4] Eleanor's three sisters

William) - was hanged on the orders of Llewelyn the Great, Prince of Wales for alleged 
adultery with Llewelyn's wife, Joan, Lady of Wales.[6] Following the execution, her 
mother held de Braose lands and castles in her own right.[citation needed]
