      ===Lands===:Before 1436/7, Eleanor was heiress to her brother, William Arundel, and she received a fine that year (15 Henry VI).Frank B Lewis. ''Pedes Finium or, Fines Relating to the County of Surrey''. 1894. [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Pedes_Finium/bcp_wAEACAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1 page 227]: 15 Henry VI (1436-7).

Eleanor and her husband Thomas Browne were involved in lawsuits in 1459-1460 regarding these Kent properties."Broun v Norton. Plaintiffs: Thomas Broun, knt., and Eleanor his wife...." Reference: C 1/26/540. Defendants: William Norton, feoffee of Richard Malmayn, esq. Subject: Manors of Pluckley and Waldershare (Waldeshare) bequeathed to the said Eleanor by Jane Knowth, heiress of the said Richard. Kent. Date: 1456-1460.

      ===Death===
      :Eleanor's date and place of death are unknown.
      ==Research Notes==:"History of Parliament" and "Dictionary of Welsh Biography" name two children of Eleanor and Thomas Vaughan: [[Angharad_Verch_Thomas_Vaughn-1|Anne]], who married Sir John Logan (or Wogan) and Henry, whose son Thomas took the surname Ap Harry or Parry."VAUGHAN, Sir THOMAS (died 1483), soldier, court official, ambassador, chamberlain to the prince of Wales" in ''[https://biography.wales/article/s-VAUG-THO-1483 Dictionary of Welsh Biography]''. 1959. These two sources disagree on Thomas' parentage. ODNB states that "claims that [Thomas] was related to the Vaughans of Brecknockshire are not substantiated" and it names no children from this marriage.
