Biography
editEubulo was a younger son of John le Strange and Alianora de Montz.[1]
He married Alice de Lacy, Countess of Lincoln (1281–1348) as her second husband in 1324,[2] and has been incongruously considered as her lover during her unhappy and childless first marriage to her royal first husband, Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, who was executed in 1322. [a]Eubulo and Alice had no children.
Eubulo died on 8 September 1335 while on campaign in the Second War of Scottish Independence (1332–1357). His nephew, Roger le Strange, 4th Baron Strange of Knockyn, aged forty years and more, was his heir.
Notes
edit- ^ Alice's first marriage lasted from 1294 to Thomas' execution in 1322, though they were divorced in 1318 following an abduction in 1317.
