Later Life
During Christmas 1315, Elizabeth, who was pregnant with her eleventh child, was visited by her sister-in-law the Queen, Isabella of France. This was a great honour, but the stress of it may have caused unknown health problems that later contributed to Elizabeth's death in childbirth. On 5 May 1316 she went into labour, giving birth to her daughter Isabella. Both Elizabeth and her daughter Isabella died shortly after the birth, and were buried together in Waltham Abbey.
