July 1352 (68-69)
Norbury Booths, Cheshire, England (United Kingdom)

Immediate Family:
Daughter of Sir William I de de Baguley (de Baggiley) and Lucy de Corona of Adlington

Wife of John de Legh of Norbury Booths

Mother of Joan de Legh and Robert de Legh of Adlington

Sister of Sir Thomas de Baguley; John de Baguley de Baggilegh; Sir William de Baguley, Jr. and Isabel de Baggiley

Half sister of Thomas Corona

Ellen de Baguley ( or de Baggilegh) is often called Ellen de Corona because she was the heir of Thomas de Corona, a kinsman of hers (Thomas de Corona was Ellen's first cousin once removed.). Some researchers claim that Thomas and Ellen were brother and sister, while others claim she was his daughter. Whatever the relationship, Thomas died without heirs and left Ellen Adlington Hall, a Tudor estate in Cheshire, England. Ellen married John Leigh or Legh and brought the property into Leigh family, and it remains as their private property even today. Wikipedia has some nice pictures of the property here -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adlington_Hall. Originally the hall consisted of timber-framed buildings on three or four sides of a courtyard surrounded by a moat. The Great Hall, on the north side of the courtyard, was built between 1480 and 1505 for Thomas Legh I. -- Maria Edmonds-Zediker, Curator, 7/10/2011

He was known to be living in 1338. ·ó¶+ Ellena, dau. of Sir William de Baggilegh and sister and coheir of John de Baggilegh and heir of her kinsman, Thomas de Corona.

Eleanor de Baggileh/Baguley .At the Conquest the lodge (Adlington Hall) came in to the possession of Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester. In the early 13th century the hall was granted to the de Coruna family who held it for four generations before running out of male heirs. Eleanor the daughter of Sir William de Baggilegh was the heiress (see the additions and corrections in Ormerod's History of Cheshire). She married John de Legh of Booths and their son, Robert de Legh eventually succeeded to the hall and estate. The hall has remained in the same family ever since, albeit with succession through the female line in the 18th century, in 1888 when it went through two females, in 1940, and again in 1992. The family tree below showing the succession of heirs from the late 17th century is drawn in part from the hall's brochure and in part from East Cheshire Past and Present by J.P. Earwaker, London, 1877. Stuart Raymond, in Cheshire: A Genealogical Bibliography, Vol. 2 lists as a source Cheshire families: Legh of Adlington in Advertiser Notes and Queries, 1, 1882, 186-9.

Ellen , daughter of Lucy de Corona, married Sir John Legh , son of Sir William Venables of Bradwell, and called "de Legh" from having been left to the care of his mother, whose maiden name was Legh, and which was also the name of the place where he was born, and where he lived till his marriage. From this marriage the Leghs of Adlington descend.

David Bigelow writes:

·ÄúThe visitation of Cheshire in the year 1580·Äù[fn3] it identifies Ellen as heiress of Sir Wm. de Baguley in no less than 4 different pedigrees, on pages 145, 147, 149 and 150. Note specifically on page 150 that the pedigree shows Thomas de Corona with no wife or daughter, and to my knowledge, Ellen has never been identified as a natural (illegitimate) daughter of anyone.
Earwalker·Äôs in his ·ÄúEast Cheshire, past and present·Äù [fn4] discusses the owners of Adlington on page 232-233 shows a pedigree Legh of Adlington on page 249 in which Ellen is identified as the daughter of Hugh de Corona, who is shown as the grandfather of Thomas.
The ·ÄúMagna Britannia: vol. 2, pt. 2 page 724 [fn5] discusses how the manor of Adlington came into possession of the possession of the Legh·Äôs. ·ÄúThe township of Adlington lies 5 miles N. by W. of Macclesfield: the manor belonged at an early period to the family called De Corona, the heirs of which brought it in the early part of the fourteenth century, through the Baguleys to the Leighs. Then the footnote to this statement reads: It was entailed 9 Edw. III on John Leigh and his wife Ellen after the death of Thomas de Corona: this Ellen was a daughter of William de Baguley, and the granddaughter(?) of Thomas de Corona.·Äù
From the book ·ÄúContributions towards a history of the ancient parish of Prestbury, in Cheshire·Äù by F, Renaud [fn6] makes the following contribution. ·ÄúThomas de Corona died unmarried about the middle of the reign of Edward III., and so the male line failed...Ellen, daughter of Lucy de Corona, married Sir John Legh, (and we know that Lucy was married to Sir William de Baguley)...Thomas de Corona, the last of his line, having no issue, gave a moiety of Adlington to John and Ellen Legh for life, with remainder to Robert their second son, and his heirs.
The general note by curator Maria Edmonds-Zediker provides a short summary of the confusion, I have included below a longer discuss from a book published for the author. While on Google is is in the usual format lacking many pages but during my access the entirety of this paragraph was available so I copied it for our use in case it does not show up in future access [fn7]. We are in this case subject to which historical genealogist one wants to put their trust in, but my conclusions are:
1. Ellen was not married to Thomas de Corona
2. While not certain, the preponderance of evidence indicates that she was the wife of Sir William de Baguley
3. And that her place is the confusing generations of the de Corona family is still uncertain. The de Corona lineage lasted only four generations, and their prominence considering their relatively obscure origin, the armorial bearings with charges of three ducal crowns when none were ever titled as such, the issue around the origins of Lucy de Corona are all very interesting, not without vociferous discussion, but also not with any final determinations.
(Maria, I note that the tree on Geni is NOT consistent with any of the known pedigree trees for the Corona·Äôs, I will work more on this and provide additional input in the future. There is some further discussion in a Google Group located here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.genealogy.medieval/xIXq...)
Ellen de Corona seems to have been the daughter of William de Baggiley (Sir William Baguley, who was the son of Sir John Baguley of Baguley in Cheshire "YI) and Lucy de Corona "El¬âˆž, or perhaps of Thomas de Corona of Adlington. She was called 'Ellen de Corona" and the "heiress of the family de Corona" LA". Thomas de Corona of Adlington, the son of John de Corona and his wife, Margaret, was alive in 1316/7 (10 Edward II) when he obtained certain portions of the manors of Little Newton and Hargrave from Henry de Manchester. Frank Renaud stated that this Thomas de Corona died unmarried during the middle of the reign of King Edward Ill, and that Ellen was the daughter of Sir William Baggiley and his wife, Lucy de Corona, who herself was the daughter of Hugh _____________________________

Ellen, daughter of Lucy de Corona, married Sir John Legh, son of Sir William Venables of Bradwell, and called "de Legh" from having been left to the care of his mother, whose maiden name was Legh, and which was also the name of the place where he was born, and where he lived till his marriage. From this marriage the Leghs of Adlington descend.
Sir John de Legh and Ellen his wife purchased Norbury Booths (28 Edward I.), and there fixed their residence. Sir John died in 1323, and his wife in 1350.
Thomas de Corona, the last of his line, having no issue, gave a moiety of Adlington to John and Ellen Legh for life, with remainder to Robert their second son, and his heirs, by a deed bearing date in ye early part of ye reign of Edward II. ·ÄúThomas de Corona grants to John de Legh and Ellen his wife all his part of the manor and vill of Adlington (except the lands which Margaret his mother, and Lucy formerly wife of Hugh de Corona had in dower) to hold to the said John and Ellen for their lives." This John is probably the same who is called ·ÄúJohn de Adlington" in a presentment against twelve persons for hunting in the king's forest with hounds and horns, and destroying deer, and finally joining in an affray with the keepers. 13 Edward II. (Ormerod.)
In 9 Edward II., Thomas de Corona gave to John and Ellen Legh all the rest of his lands in Adlington previously held in dower by Lucy and Margaret. After this grant was made, Queen Isabella, wife of Edward II., seized Adlington manor, alleging that Thomas de Corona had forfeited it to her by reason of the alienation having been made without her license, as the same was held of her as of her manor of Macclesfield.
In 17 Edward II., John de Legh being lately dead, Ellen, his widow obtained a re-grant of the Adlington manor, on her purchasing a pardon from the Queen. To this pardon a fair seal of Queen Isabella is affixed, from which it would appear that the Queen held Macclesfield to her own separate use, even whilst her husband was king. (See illustration.)
