| 9929 | [royalfam.ged] Hubert Walter, Archbishop of Canterbury, died 13 July 1205, which provides a definite terminu s. The styling of Llywelyn Fawr as Prince of North Wales [princeps Norwalliae] could mean a s early as 1194, when he removed his uncle Dafydd from power, or as late as after 1200 when h e obtained control of the remainder of Gwynedd from his cousin Gruffydd. Perhaps if we can f ind more detail as to the career of Robert, bishop of Bangor and abbot of Bildewas, co. Salo p & c., this time frame could be better defined. It is interesting to note that the issue has to do with the husband of 'M' [Margaret, mothe r of Llywelyn] and the issue of his relations with one 'Guladus' or Gwladys, a kinswoman of ' M'. While an Anglo-Welsh heritage is not ruled out for either woman, on the surface it woul d reinforce the indentification of Margaret with Margaret ferch Madog, daughter of Madog ap M aredudd of Powys (d. ca. 1160).

| 9930 | [royalfam.ged] I don't have info on the "nursery", but according to Andre Maurois's "A History of France", ( 1968 U.S. edition, page 132) Henry II complained that he was badly treated by the Spanish. H enry and his brother were held hostage as a result of a treaty his father, Francis I, negotia ted while imprisoned in Spain. In exchange for his freedom Francis agreed to allow the Empor er the Duchy of Burgundy. Henry and his brother were held as hostages to guarantee the agree ment. But after Francis I's release, the Burgundians refused to become part of the Empire . So Henry's grandmother, Louise of Savoy, and the Emporer's sister, Archduchess Margaret ne gotiated in 1529 "The Ladies Peace" (The Peace of Cambrai) which set the ransom for the freed om of the two princes at two million gold ecus, which the French paid. There was obviously bad blood between the Valois and Habsburgs. One clause in the Cambrai tr eaty required Francis I to marry the Emporer's sister, Eleanor, which the King did in 1530 . Under the circumstance this proved to be an unhappy marriage. Maurois writes that as king, Henry II of France, due to the bad treatment he received durin g his childhood captivity, hated the Spanish and especially Charles V.

| 9931 | [royalfam.ged] I don't know about the views of the Queen herself, but I'm interested in Elizabeth II's relat ively obscure ancestors. I've done some research on the ancestry of Caroline Louisa Burnaby ( 1832-1918), the Queen's matrilineal great-grandmother. Caroline's known great-great-great-gra ndfathers include a carpenter and a baker, and another may have been a husbandman. Caroline a lso has many more prominent ancestors. She may have traceable royal ancestry, though her desc ent from Edward I through Philippa (Brooke) (Calverley) Burton given in "Burke's Landed Gentr y" is in error, because Elizabeth Burton (bur 1699), wife of Hugh Burnaby, was a daughter o f Andrew and Anne (Fairmeadow) Burton of Oakham, co. Rutland, and not of Sir Thomas and Phili ppa (Brooke) (Calverley) Burton of Stockerston, Leicestershire (see Harleian Society volume 7 3, the 1681-82 visitation of Rutland). I haven't looked at John and Elizabeth Walsh much. Wagner's article "Some of the Sixty-four A ncestors of Her Majesty the Queen" in "The Genealogists' Magazine", Mar 1940, pp7-13, give s John Walsh and Elizabeth only as possibilities for the parents of Mary Elizabeth (Walsh) Ca rpenter, noting that they were witnesses at her marriage in 1779. Gerald Paget's "The Lineag e and Ancestry of HRH Prince Charles, Prince of Wales" lists John and Elizabeth without any c aveat. An extracted entry in the IGI gives the baptism of a Mary Elizabeth Walsh, daughter o f John and Elizabeth, in 1758 at St. Luke, Chelsea. Edward Davies | Burnaby, Caroline Louise (I63711)

| 9932 | [royalfam.ged] I've been researching the history of Henry Fitz Roy, a previously little noticed illegitimat e son of King John. Below I have posted what information I have collected on this individual . If anyone has anything else to add on this man, I'd appreciate knowing about it. Henry' s one known wife, Eve de Whitchurch, was the mother by a prior marriage to Joan Champernoun , wife of Ralph de Willington. Joanappears to have been Eve's sole heiress. She appears i n Complete Peerage under Wilington. I assume Henry Fitz Roy had a previous marriage, but, i f so, I don't have those particulars. I've been unable to trace the subsequent history of He nry's lands or any descendants. Interestingly, Eve de Whitchurch's 3rd husband was Giles de Clifford, who I believe is a memb er of the well known Clifford family.

| 9936 | [royalfam.ged] If we put together what has been published about the mistresses of Edward IV, we may get an interesting picture. Cahiers de Saint Louis, page 880, gives Edward IV by Elisabeth/Elizabeth Waite 1.Arthur by NN 2.Grace 3.Elisabeth/Elizabeth, she married her cousin Thomas, 4th Lord Lumley (he wasn't a Lord Lumley!!!) The Plantagenet Encyclopedia, General Editor Elizabeth Hallam, page 160. Arthur Plantagenet, died 1542. Illegitimate son of Edward IV of England and Elizabeth Lucy, daughter of Thomas Wayte, a minor Hampshire gentleman. Their affaire lasted from around Edward IV's accession in 1461 to his marriage to Elizabeth Woodville in 1464. The Complete Peerage Volume VIII page 63. Elizabeth suo jure Baroness Lisle, married (2) 12 November 1511 Arthur Plantagenet, illegitimate son of Edward IV. His mother's name is unknown; by some said to be the "Lady Elizabeth Lucy" by others the notorious Jane Shore, and by others one Elizabeth Waite, he himself being at first known as Arthur Waite. Blood Royal, by Charles Mosley, pages65 and 166 He gives Edward IV nine legitimate children whereas Cahiers de Saint Louis gives as a tenth legitimate child Brigitte 1480-1517. One less legitimate child but one more illegitimate one. However, uncertainty is certainly indicated. Edward IV is said to have had (a) a bastard son (Edward, of Wigmore, died young 1468) by Eleanor, daughter of the 4th Earl of Ormonde. ====somehow I doubt this one, as wasn't Eleanor Butler supposedly engaged to Edward IV? An engagement (if there was one) which should render the children by Elizabeth Woodville illegitimate? (b) a bastard daughter (Elizabeth married Thomas Lumley and had issue) by a woman referred to as "Lady Elizabeth Lucy" presumably wife of Sir William Lucy who died in 1492 Jane) Shore (wife of William Shore, a London merchant) on whom he fathered a bastard daughter Grace (living 1492, Or Elizabeth Waite; ===the link between Elizabeth Waite and what follows is, to me, not very clear===== 4e.Arthur, surname originally Waite or Wayte, subsequently Plantagenet, What have we got from this? That Arthur was known as Arthur Waite, may give an indication that his mother was Elizabeth Waite/Wayte. Elizabeth Hallam's book makes this Elizabeth Waite a Mrs. Elizabeth Lucy. The Complete Peerage makes this Mrs. Elizabeth a Lady Elizabeth Lucy. "Blood Royal" makes Lady Elizabeth Lucy also mother of Elizabeth (Lumley). Elizabeth Hallam indicates as years of possible birth of the child(ren) of Edward IV by Elizabeth Waite as about 1461 till 1464/5. "Blood Royal" guesses that Arthur was born about 1470 and Richardson guesses "say 1475". Richardson wants him to be as young as possible, because Arthur didn't marry until 1511. If Arthur was born in 1463 he would have been about 48 when marrying, if he was born in 1470 he would have been 41, if born in 1475 he would have been about 36. However, we most not forget that he was in 1511 "only" the bastard brother of the Queen, and also he married the widow of a disgraced man, disgraced enough to be decapitated. And this, in my opinion, makes the age of Arthur, when marrying, irrelevant, he could well have been 48 as easy as only 36. For the children of Thomas Lumley and Elizabeth "Plantagenet", Richardson seems to follow Burke's Extinct Peerage, one son, Richard (Lord Lumley) and three daughters Anne (wife of Robert Ogle) Sibyl (wife of William Hilton Elizabeth (wife of Robert Cresswell) Then follows a weird observation "Descendants (not traced)". Whose descendants? Or, not traced by whom? Especially as earlier in his message he notes that Gary Boyd Roberts indicated that there are American descendants of Elizabeth Lumley. Cahiers de Saint Louis, which Richardson has learned to appreciate, gives the same three daughters but instead of one son, gives four sons. The last son, Roger, is important as he is an ancestor of Prince Charles (See Paget O24907). That Richardson's remark "Descendants (not traced)" is ludicrous can also be shown by the known acestry of just three of the children of Thomas and Elizabeth Lumley (let's skip Roger, he has been shown to have descendants till the present): Richard Lumley he is an ancestor of the later Earls of Scarborough, HRH Richard, Duke of Gloucester, Dukes of Buccleuch, Dukes of Northumberland, Marquess of Exeter, Marquess of Linlithgow, Marquess of Zetland Anne Lumley she is ancestor of HM the Queen, Lady Diana Spencer, Sarah Ferguson, Dukes of Atholl, Bedford, Northumberland, Richmond, Earls of Harewood and Warwick Sybil Lumley she is ancestor of HM the Queen, Lady Diana Spencer, Dukes of Abercorn, Buccleuch, Devonshire, Marlborough, Westminster, Northumberland and the last Duke of Leeds. Hope this is of some interest and helps. As always, best wishes Leo van de Pas There seems to be confusion in surviving records between King Edward IV's mistresses, Dame Elizabeth Lucy and Elizabeth Wayte. I suspect the two women were separate and distinct individuals. King Edward IV is alleged to have had issue by Elizabeth Lucy prior to his marriage to Queen Elizabeth Wydeville in 1464. I presume that issue was King Edward IV's bastard daughter, Elizabeth Lumley, who married in or before 1477. Elizabeth Wayte's son, Arthur, on the other hand, doesn't occur in records as an adult until 1501 and didn't marry until 1511. This suggests a rather wide gap in ages between the two bastards, Elizabeth Lumley and Arthur Plantagenet. My best guess is that Elizabeth Lumley was born say 1460/2 and that Arthur Plantagenet was born say 1475. If anyone has any corrections or additions to the list below, I'd appreciate it if they would post them here on the newsgroup.

In 1310 he was appointed one of the twen ty-one ordainers to regulate the king's conduct of affairs. In 1312 Humphrey joined the baron s besieging Piers Gaveston, Edward II's favourite, at Scarborough. He fought and was capture d at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314, and was exchanged by the Scots for Robert Bruce's wif e, who had been imprisoned in England. Humphrey de Bohun became one of the major opponents of Edward II's later favourites, the Desp encers, and, in 1321, joined the league of marcher lords who were demanding their exile. Alar med by Edward's massacre of rebels defending Leeds castle, Humphrey surrendered his castles t o the king's troops without resistance. Retreating before Edward's northwards advance, he wa s killed at the battle of Boroughbridge.

Alexander was succeeded in 1887 by Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who declared a king dom independent of Russia on Oct. 5, 1908. In the First Balkan War (1912-13), Bulgaria and th e other members of the Balkan League fought against Turkey to regain Balkan territory. Angere d by the small portion of Macedonia it received after the battle-it considered Macedonia an i ntegral part of Bulgaria-the country instigated the Second Balkan War (June-Aug. 1913) agains t Turkey as well as its former allies. Bulgaria lost the war and all the territory it had gai ned in the First Balkan War. Bulgaria joined Germany in World War I in the hope of again gain ing Macedonia. After this second failure, Ferdinand abdicated in favor of his son in 1918. Bo ris III squandered Bulgaria's resources and assumed dictatorial powers in 1934-35. Bulgaria f ought on the side of the Nazis in World War II, but after Russia declared war on Bulgaria o n Sept. 5, 1944, Bulgaria switched sides. Three days later, on Sept. 9, 1944, a Communist coa lition took control of the country and set up a government under Kimon Georgiev. | Of Bulgaria, Ferdinand I (I61790)

| 9946 | [royalfam.ged] It is impossible to state exactly the date of Harold's visit to Duke William in Normandy, alt hough it is put at 1064. Probably Harold did make some kind of oath to William, most likely u nder compulsion. It is certain, however, that Harold helped William in a war with the Bretons . On his return he married Ealdgyth, Griffith's widow, even though Edith Swan-neck, who had bor ne him five children, was still alive. In 1065 the Northumbrians rebelled against Tostig an d Harold acquiesced in their choice of Morcar and Tostig's banishment. In January 1066 King E dward died. Harold, his nominee, was chosen king and crowned in Westminster Abbey. Duke William lost no time in preparing for the invasion of England; and Tostig, after tryin g the Normans and the Scots, succeeded in drawing Harold Hardrada, King of Norway, to his sid e. In September the two reached the Humber and Harold marched to meet them. At Stamford Bridg e he won a complete victory on 25 September 1066, Tostig and Harald Hardrada being among th e slain. But four days later William landed at Pevensey. Harold marched southwards with the u tmost dispatch and the two armies met at Senlac, about nine miles from Hastings. From nine i n the morning, 14 November 1066, the English fought stubbornly until nightfall, when the pret ended flight of the Normans drew them from their impregnable position and gave the Normans vi ctory. Harold himself fell pierced through the eye with an arrow. His body was recognised b y Edith Swan-neck and he was buried at Waltham. | GODWINSSON, HAROLD II (I60477)

| 9947 | [royalfam.ged] It is widely believed that Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, was the lover of Queen Elizabet h of England, but that she could not marry him because he was married to another woman. Thi s is one of the great questions of history that has often been asked but will never be answer ed. Leicester, Robert Dudley, earl of , 15321588, English courtier and favorite of Queen Elizabe th I. A younger son of John Dudley, duke of Northumberland, he was early brought into the soc iety of Edward VI and Princess (later Queen) Elizabeth. Knighted at an early age, Dudley marr ied Amy Robsart in 1549 and received preferment from the crown. Upon Edward's death (1553), h e aided his father in the plot to place Lady Jane Grey upon the throne, was sent to the Towe r of London, and condemned to death. He was later released, pardoned, and, after military ser vice in France, restored to his rights (perhaps through the intervention of Mary I's husband , Philip II of Spain). On the accession of Elizabeth (1558), Dudley was made master of the ho rse and later a privy councillor. Within a year he was acknowledged as her favorite and as he r most probable choice for a husband. His wife's mysterious death in 1560 darkened his reputa tion. He then proposed (1561) to Philip II to restore Roman Catholicism in England in retur n for Philip's endorsement of Dudley's marriage to Elizabeth. By 1563, Elizabeth seems to hav e realized the impracticality of marriage with Dudley, but her personal feeling toward him di d not change, and he remained in a position of influence at court. She offered his hand to Ma ry Queen of Scots and, to facilitate this scheme, created him earl of Leicester (1564), but t he plan was halted by Mary's marriage to Lord Darnley. Leicester married secretly in 1573 an d in 1578 (perhaps bigamously) wed the countess of Essex, an act that led to a temporary estr angement from Elizabeth. From about 1564, Leicester was leader at court of the Puritan party , which desired war with Spain. In 1585 he was named commander of an expedition to help the U nited Provinces of the Netherlands against Spain. His military efforts were undistinguished , and he enraged Elizabeth by accepting (1586) the title of governor of the Netherlands. He w as finally recalled in 1587. Upon the approach of the Spanish Armada (1588), Leicester was ap pointed captain general of the armies. Leicester was a patron of letters and the drama. The f irst royal patent for actors was granted to his company. See M. Waldman, Elizabeth and Leicester (1944, repr. 1969); E. Rosenberg, Leicester, Patron o f Letters (1955); R. C. Strong and J. A.
