ANCESTRY BRAGGADOCIO SAGA 3:

ENGLISH MONARCHY




King Egbert
King Edgar
King Aethelred III
King Canute


AD 1066, King William I – The Conqueror: (34th great grandfather)

King Henry I


King Henry II: (25th great grandfather)
Just to think: My Great Grandparents!

King John I – signer of the Magna Carta in Runnymede, 1215: (24th great grandfather)

(I'm also descended from 10 of the "SURETIES." These were the English Feudal Barons who also signed the Magna Carta to ensure its compliance. This document, as you know, was an important part of the extensive historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law in the English speaking world.)

Here is the lineage chart from John I to me!
King Henry III: (21st great grandfather)

King Edward I (Longshanks)


King Edward II: (19th great grandfather)

King Edward III
King Henry VII


AD 1625, King Charles I: (14th great grandfather)
(A duke cousin, whom I'm also descended from, won Staten Island in a card game with King Charles I !)



Next, FRENCH and SPANISH MONARCHS.
