Sources:

1.  Eleanor BEAUCHAMP was not the second wife of Sir John BLOUNT and she was not mother of Walter BLOUNT.  Walter's mother was Isolda MOUNTJOY, Sir John's one and only wife, as per email from Kyle VanLandingham:
Last year I obtained the pages from Complete Peerage, Vol IX, which show the Blount line from William le Blund [le Blount] who d. 1280.  The line shows that William's grandson, John le Blount, m. Isoude [Isolda] Mountjoy.  Walter le Blount who m. Sancha de Ayala is clearly shown as the 3rd son of John and Isoude.
