I have not recorded here all the names that can be found for this line of the family as they are available from many sources. You could look at –

The Complete Peerage of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom, by George Edward Cokayne, Vol. XII/1, p. 519.

Douglas Richardson, Plantagenet Ancestry, p. 675.

Douglas Richardson, Magna Carta Ancestry, 2nd Edition, Vol. I, p. 374.

Douglas Richardson, Plantagenet Ancestry, p. 174-175.

The Complete Peerage of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom, by George Edward Cokayne, Vol. XII/1, p. 520.

A good online source to look at is _

http://our-royal-titled-noble-and-commoner-ancestors.com/index.htm

Or follow the charts in section one. They include family members in England, Normandy and France. Many of the names you may recognise including Edward II and Edward III Of England.

Stop and consider how many ancestors you have if you look back 20 or 30 generations. They are all equally significant -be they cook or captain. Some are just easier to find.

Family links through marriages go beyond the Norman/Plantagenet monarchies to the Scottish kings and again by marriage to the Saxon kings back to and beyond Alfred. This is apart from links to French and Spanish Royalty/Nobility of course. From David WILSON
