She married Lionel PLANTAGENET of ANTWERP in Tower of London, 9 SEP 1342. Lionel was born in Antwerp 29 NOV 1338. Lionel⁽²³⁹⁾ was the son of EDWARD III PLANTAGENET and Philippa of HAINAULT.

Churchill, p.242. When Elizabeth's father, the Earl of Ulster, died in 1333 without male heir, the entire inheritance by feudal law was King Edward III's to assign at his discretion by his choice of husband for her. After she was married to his son, Lionel of Clarence, the leading male members of the cadet branches of the de Burgh family "went Irish," grabbed what they could of Ulster, and changed the family name to Burke.
