Philip Le (Goushill) Despencer, born 1346 in Gedney, Lincolnshire, England, was the son and heir of Philip Le Despencer and Joan Strange. He married Margaret de Cobham, daughter of John de Cobham, 2nd Baron Cobham. Philip is listed in The Complete Peerage of England, 1890 edition, volume 3, page 96 as being the son of Philip Le Despencer. He bore the arms of Goushill, his grandmother's family, in lieu of those of Despencer. It appears that he was summoned to Parliament, and died in 1400 or 1401. His title passed to his son Philip Le Despencer.
