Eleanor was married to Sir Thomas Boteler/Butler, the son of Ralph Boteler, Lord Sudeley, in 1449 at the age of 13. Thomas died before March of 1461, when her father-in-law took back the properties she inherited through her marriage.
Eleanor became one of King Edward IV's mistresses, and supposedly had a contract of marriage, dated before Edward's marriage to Elizabeth Woodville, making their children illegal, and the throne entitled to Edward's brother, Richard, who eventually became King Richard III.
