Elizabeth de Burgh,[2] Duchess of Clarence, suo jure 4th Countess of Ulster and 5th Baroness of Connaught (English: /dˈbɜːr/; d’-BER; 6 July 1332 – 10 December 1363) was a Norman-Irish noblewoman who married Lionel of Antwerp, 1st Duke of Clarence.
(...) because of the number of sons born to the higher nobility in the late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, (...) The emphasis on agnatic lineage was reflected in the fact that the woman kept her natal family name when she married and did not become fully a member of her marital kin.
