Blanche, Baroness Wake of Liddell

Blanche of Lancaster, Baroness Wake of Liddell, was an English noblewoman born around 1305. She was the eldest daughter of Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster, and Maud Chaworth, and was named after her grandmother, Blanche of Artois. Before October 1316, she married Thomas Wake, 2nd Baron Wake of Liddell, who was under her father's guardianship. The marriage did not produce any children, and after her husband's death in 1349, she faced legal disputes with the Bishop of Ely, who had burned down some of her houses.

Blanche took legal action against the bishop, leading to a rebuke from Edward III and an order for the bishop to pay damages. After her brother Henry's death, she served as one of his will's executors. She was granted custody of her brothers John and Thomas in 1372. Blanche lived to see the beginning of Richard II's reign and was buried at Greyfriars, Stamford.
