One of the ancestors of the current (15th) Duke of Bedford is
Elizabeth Anne Rawdon, wife of Lord William Russell, and granddaughter
of the 1st Earl of Moira & his third wife Lady Elizabeth Hastings. Leo
has a thorough ancestry on Elizabeth Rawdon's paternal side: through
her Hastings grandmother she descends from Henry VII. But Leo has her
mother in his database with no dates or parents, here:

Elizabeth Rawdon's mother was Fanny Hall-Stevenson, born at Skelton
Castle, Yorkshire 21 December 1774, and died January 1850, buried Old
All Saints Church, Skelton-in-Cleveland, Yorkshire. Fanny married Hon.
John Theophilus Rawdon of Bolney Court on 13 December 1792, and had
two daughters with him: Elizabeth Anne, born 2 October 1793, and
Frances Charlotte Rawdon, born 2 February 1795, who apparently died
young.

*Writer & poet. Has a bio in ODNB.
**I can find only the name of her father: James Foster (or Forster),
of Drumgoon, co. Fermanagh, with no further details. Her mother is
unknown. So there may be Edward III/Edward I descents behind her.
***The Lawson Visitation pedigree from the 1560s says that George's
mother was Elizabeth, daughter of Constantine Darrell of Wiltshire.
Per the HOP bio of George's brother Wilfrid Lawson of Isell, their
mother was Elizabeth, dau of Sir Edward Darrell of Littlecote
(1465-1530), which is chronologically impossible as Elizabeth Darrell
Lawson lived until 1602. But if she somehow descends from Sir Edward
Darrell & his 1st wife Jane Croft, she is a descendant of Edward I.
****Possibly descended from Edward III if his paternal grandmother
Elizabeth Lambert was the daughter of Benjamin Lambert of Airton Hall
& Elizabeth Clifford, illegitimate dau of the 2nd Earl of Cumberland.
******I'm in the camp that has Eleanor's paternal grandmother
Elizabeth Dacre, as an illegitimate daughter of the 2nd Lord Dacre
(see Generation B6 above)
