The reference for Elizabeth Savage's marriage contract is:

Cheshire and Chester Archives and Local Studies Service
Catalogue ref. DCH/E/291 [13 Jan. 1458/9]
In this record Elizabeth Savage is labeled daughter of John Savage the  
younger, esq.

Three successive John Savages that apply to the identification of her  father
have death dates of [according to Peter Leycester's Historical  Antiquities]:
1. primo die Augusti, 28 Hen. 6 (1450)
2. 29 die Junii, 3 Edw. 4 (1463)
3. 22 Novembris, 11 Hen. 7 (1495)

In 1458 [the year of Elizabeth Savage's marriage agreement], John Savage  the
younger would have been the third, who died in 1495.  Other of his  daughters
married in 1467 [Ellen Savage to Peter Legh] and 1479 [Katharine  Savage to
Thomas Legh].

Mention of the Oct. 1464 marriage covenant of Dulcia Savage and Henry Bold  
is to be found on p. 405, footnotes 7 & 12, of VCH Lancaster 3.  Henry  Bold
supported the Lancastrian cause alongside of his grandfather Savage and the  
Stanley relations.

If this identification holds up to scrutiny then, as I said earlier, the  
Eltonhead descendants would have an improved royal descent from Edward  I.
