| 2304 | fmg.ac. (n.d.). SAXONY DUKES. [online] Available at: https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SAXONY.htm#_Toc484586537. Please read re Liudolf: The basis of this conjecture is the record mentioned above in which a Liudolf is called a brother of a Cobbo ["Tradidit Bardo comes pro remedio anime Liudulfi familias XVIII in pago Bardengo. ... quidquid ipse Ludolfus habuit in pago Bardengo, ... exceptis seorsum denominatis familiis, quas ipse suo germano Cobboni atque suo propinquo Fresgario ad redimendum reliquerat. Omnia Bardo comes tradidit ... hac ei potestate contradita ab uxore Ludolfi atque a suis propinquis. ... ut predicti Ludolfi uxor ea possedeat usque ad obitum suum, ..." Trad. Corb., 76, B §350 (A §126)]. Some have identified this Liudolf with Liudolf of Saxony, and the brother Cobbo with either the son or grandson of Egbert, resulting in Liudolf being placed as a son or grandson of Egbert. The two variations are discussed in more detail on the page of Liudolf. The principle objection to the identification of this Liudolf (who was deceased at the time of the entry) as Liudolf of Saxony is that the date of the entry has been estimated in the 840's, whereas Liudolf of Saxony died in 866. Thus, it is probable that the Liudolf of the Corvey tradition was a different man from duke Liudolf of Saxony. fasg.org. (n.d.). Egbert, Saxon count. [online] Available at: https://fasg.org/projects/henryproject/data/egber001.htm [Accessed 11 Jun. 2021]. Liudolf's ancestry cannot be determined with certainty. In the biography of the first abbess Hathumod from Gandersheim, a daughter of Liudolf, written around 877, the monk Agius claims that Liudolf comes from the most respected family in Saxony. In her poem Primordia, written in the middle of the 10th century, Hrotsvit von Gandersheim also reports that Liudolf came from “extremely noble” parents, whose names she could not or did not want to mention. In the biography of the Franconian noblewoman Ida von Herzfeld from around 980, the vita s. Idae of the Werden monk Uffing, Uffing alleges that Liudolf and his son Otto the illustrious did not take care of Ida's grave without saying that they did so would only have been obliged as descendants. [5] In addition, Liudolf buried his son, who died in childhood, there. This burial place was on the Herzfeld farm, which first belonged to Ida's husband Ekbert, then Liudolf and finally Otto the illustrious, until he exchanged it for properties in Beek near Duisburg. Albert K. Hömberg therefore came to the conclusion that Liudolf was the grandson of Ida and Ekbert. [6] In fact, Ida's son Cobbo, like Liudolf a close confidante of Ludwig the German, had a son named Liudolf from his marriage to Eila ------------------ Liudolfs Abstammung ist nicht sicher zu bestimmen.[1] In der um 877 verfassten Lebensbeschreibung der ersten Gandersheimer Äbtissin Hathumod, einer Tochter Liudolfs, behauptet der Mönch Agius, Liudolf entstamme dem angesehensten Geschlecht in Sachsen.[2] Auch Hrotsvit von Gandersheim berichtet in ihrem Mitte des 10. Jahrhunderts entstandenen Gedicht Primordia,[3] Liudolf stamme von „überaus adligen“ Eltern ab, deren Namen sie jedoch nicht erwähnen konnte oder wollte.[4] In der um 980 entstandenen Lebensbeschreibung der fränkischen Adligen Ida von Herzfeld, der Vita s. Idae des Werdener Mönches Uffing, erhebt dieser den Vorwurf, Liudolf und sein Sohn Otto der Erlauchte hätten sich nicht um das Grab Idas gekümmert, ohne auszusprechen, dass sie dazu nur als Abkömmlinge verpflichtet gewesen wären.[5] Zudem habe Liudolf seinen im Kindesalter verstorbenen Sohn dort beigesetzt. Diese Grablege befand sich auf dem Hof Herzfeld, der zunächst Idas Mann Ekbert, dann Liudolf und schließlich Otto dem Erlauchten gehörte, bis dieser ihn gegen Besitzungen in Beek bei Duisburg eintauschte. Albert K. Hömberg gelangte deshalb zu dem Ergebnis, Liudolf sei der Enkel Idas und Ekberts.[6] Tatsächlich hatte Idas Sohn Cobbo, wie Liudolf ein enger Vertrauter Ludwig des Deutschen, aus seiner Ehe mit Eila einen Sohn namens Liudolf. de.zxc.wiki. (n.d.). Liudolf (Saxony) - zxc.wiki. [online] Available at: https://de.zxc.wiki/wiki/Liudolf_(Sachsen). Less Addiionally: However, as Hlawitschka has noted, the assumption that Liudolf was an heir of Egbert probably reads too much into the statements of the Life of St. Ida [Hlawitschka (1974), 156-9]. This source does not actually state that Liudolf held Herzfeld, only that he buried a son there. When it states that duke Otto was awarded Herzfeld by law, this was presumably after 880 (when Otto became duke), and therefore many years after the hereditary succession of unknown individuals to Egbert and Ida mentioned earlier. The Liudolfinger were from eastern Saxony, while Herzfeld is in Westfalen. Also, the fact that Otto II sold Herzfeld does not suggest that it was land long in hereditary possession of his family. fasg.org. (n.d.). Egbert, Saxon count.

| 2306 | For any of you who were unable to attend Jim's memorial service today, I wanted to attach the eulogy my husband, Pete, wrote for his good friend. Thank you again to Jay Walker for reading this in Pete's absence. In spite of the great sadness we all felt, it was a beautiful service. RIP Big JIm. Here is the letter that was read: I first met Jim in the summer of 1982 when I was working at Bud’s Amoco in Huxley, IA. As I am sure all of you will agree, meeting Jim for the first time is something you never forget. I remember standing in amazement as this huge truck with speed-boat attached pulled in for gas. As I walked out to his truck, I remember his boat had a motor big enough for 3 boats and enough beer coolers in the back for a spring break beach party. I was sure I couldn’t have been more in awe until from behind the gas pump appeared a giant of a man who reached out with a hand so big that when he shook mine it felt more like he was shaking my arm. Immediately, he began asking me everything about my past- where I grew up, where I went to school and who my parents where. When Jim asked you something about your past he never forgot it. Little did I know that this day was the beginning of a friendship that would last for many years. Over the next 6 years, I looked forward to the weekly conversations I had with Jim when he stopped in at the gas station. I can remember the day I told Jim that I was moving to Iowa City to attend Medical school at the University of Iowa. I am sure each of you can imagine the lecture I received from Jim, who everyone knows was a die-hard ISU alum. I must admit I took a verbal beating, but I also remember how proud he was of me when he shook my hand and wished me the best. I always thought our paths would meet again, but little did I know it would be at one of Rick Putska’a wild game feeds and over a bowl of split beaver-tail soup. I can remember how happy I was to see Jim again but also how impressed I was that he remembered almost everything we had talked about 6 years prior. It was also at this time when I first met Sheryl. Over the next 20 years, Jim and Sheryl became close friends with my wife, Liz, and me. The memories we created together are some of the most cherished we have. Boating trips down the Mississippi river and fishing trips up in Ashland, Minnesota were always filled with Jim’s constant joking and laughter. Jim just had a way of having fun and making those around him feel lucky to have him as a friend. It was fun to sit and have a beer with Jim, who commanded the room and the people around him, because he just enjoyed people. I must say I learned quickly that trying to keep up with Jim beer-for-beer was like trying to win the Boston Marathon by crawling thru the entire race… Impossible! I always knew when Jim stopped by the clinic to visit. His voice and the laughter he created carried itself thru the office as Jim made his rounds from the front staff to the back offices. No one was safe when it came to his jokes about how short we all were or how we never let him eat the foods he wanted. Jim talked tough, but my nurses all said he was just a big Teddy Bear. It was obvious that Jim loved people, but it is more apparent that people loved Jim. He was always generous with his time, his resources, his compliments and a lesson for us all on how to live life to the fullest. Everyone who knew Jim realized that two of his loves where hunting and fishing but more than these, his true loves in life where his wife Sheryl and his children. It was impossible to have a conversation with Jim that didn’t include him bragging about his family and their adventures and accomplishments. You young people made him so proud. Bryce, Janae and D.J., I hope you know that. I know he would want you to pick up and move ahead in a positive direction, in spite of the obvious hardships you have endured in the past few years, you can do this with the love and assistance from your family and friends. We’re all here for you. And we all know how much he loved Sheryl-taking such protective and loving care of her as she battled brain cancer for 5 years and holding his family together through it all. To Jim, family meant everything, and it was obvious that Sheryl and his children were on a pedestal that only Jim was tall enough to reach. We all have our own memories that we created with Jim. Whether he was your family member, your Ankeny High School or ISU basketball teammate, your insurance agent, your financial advisor, your hunting, fishing or boating friend, your neighbor, or just your friend--he wore many hats for sure. Fortunately for us, there will always be moments in our lives that will make us relive these memories and make us smile, but more importantly; make us realize that we are all better people because Jim was a part of our lives. It is these memories that we will cherish and hold onto so Jim will live forever in our hearts and minds. Until we meet again, I will miss you my friend. | Miller, James Donald Sr (I16770)

| 2308 | For the Brodhead family I have used information from http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kdecker/Brodhead.htm and have used Kitty Decker's notes in entirity. This lineage was originally given to me by my uncle LeRoy Johnson. But his information I have found to be incomplete and sometimes inaccurate. There are many sources with often conflicting information. I have found this information to be the overall best. And I unashamedly say that I copied as I was not able to contact the author. Captain Daniel BRODHEAD Born: Cir 1631, West Riding, Yorkshire, England 1 Marriage: Ann TYE [10235] about 1661 in England 1 Died: 14 Jul 1667, Esopus, New York, United States at age 36 1 bullet General Notes: We know nothing about Captain Daniel’s birth except he was born in West Riding, Yorkshire. There has been nothing found about his youth but we do know that times must have been rough on a young man who's family were always supporters of the King and whose youth was spent under Cromwell. When in 1660 Charles II ascended the throne, Daniel became a Captain in the English Grenadiers. In 1661 he married Ann Tye in Yorkshire. When an expedition was mounted to take over New Netherlands from the Dutch, Daniel, his wife Ann, two sons - Charles and Daniel, and all their possessions sailed on one of four ships used for the expedition - The Guinea, The Elias, the Martin, and the William and Nochilas. Since Daniel was a protege of Gov. Nichols, who led this expedition, we can only think that he was on board the Guinea with the Gov. and went with him to Cape Cod and boston to demand the assistance of the Massachusetts residents while the other ships remained in Piscatasay. On 18 Aug. the English squadron anchored in Nyack Bay between New Utrecht and Coney Island just below the Narrows. The next day Gov. Nichols sent a committee to Ft. Amsterdam to ask for the surrender of the Dutch. By the following Monday the Dutch people had convinced Peter Stuyvestant that all was lost and to surrender. "The Dutch frontier posts were thought of next. Colonel Cartwright, with Captains Thomas Willett, John Manning, Thomas Breedon, and Daniel Brodhead, were sent to Fort Orange, as soon as possible, with a letter form Nicolls requiring La Montagne and the magistrates and inhabitants to aid in prosecuting his majesty's interest against all who should oppose a peacable surrender." -The History of New York John Romayn Brodhead 1 bullet Medical Notes: "Daniel's death has an air of mystery about it. Many have felt that because he was relieved of his command he died of a broken heart. Others say that he was poisoned by the Dutch in the Inn where he always ate lunch. 2 bullet Noted events in his life were: • Military Service: Captain of the British Grenadiers, 1660, England. 1 • Miscellaneous, 24 Sep 1664, Albany, New York, United States. 3 He was one of four men who signed the following Indian treaty: "Articles made and agreed upon the 24 day of September 1664, in effort Albany betweene Ohgehando, Shanarage, Soachoenighta, Sachamackas of the Maques; Anawweed, Conkeeh(>rat, Tewasserany, Aschanoondah, 8achamackas of the Synichs, on the one part; And Colonel George Cartwright in the behalfe of Colonel Richard Nicholls Governor under his Royall Highness the Duke of Yorke of all his territoryes in America, on the other part as followeth, viz. 1.

"Richard Nicolls, Esq., etc. "To Capt. Daniel Brodhead, Chief Officer of the Militia in the Esopus: "Whereas, His Majesty hath been graciously pleased by his Letters Patents, under the great seal of England, to grant unto his Royal Highness, James, Duke of York and Albany, et ceters, several tracts of land in America, specified in the said Letters Patents, with full power and authority to nominate and appoint all officers, both civil and military; And, whereas, His Royal Highness hath been also granciously pleased, by commission, under his hand and seal, to grant unto me, as his Deputy-Governor, all thepower and authority expresses to be given in the said letters patents; By virtue of the said authority I do consitute and appoint you, the said Daniel Brodhead, Chief Officer of the Militia in the Esopus. You are to take care and use your utmost diligence for the defense of the place and people against any attempts. You are constantly to keep good guard, and your soldiers in good order and discipline, according to the rule and method of war; Hereby strictly charging and requiring all inferior officers and soldiers, from time to time, to receive and obey you as their Chief Officer over the Militia. And you are also to obey such orders and instructions as you shall receive from me in all cases whereunto you are required. "Given under my hand and seal, at the Esopes, the 14th day of September 1665. (signed) Richard Nicolls" • Miscellaneous: Letter from Gov. Nicholls, 23 Oct 1665, Esopus, New York, United States. 5 "Instructions to Capt. Daniel Brodhead for the management of the Garrison in the Esopus: 1st. You are to keep strict order and dicipline with the soldiers, that no riots or abuses be done in their quarters; particularly that no soldiers presume to judge or revenge his own cause, but to make it first known to you: And if the complaint be against a Burgher, to make it know to the Schout, who will give you satisfaction therein; and in case you receive not so much justice as you conceive to be due, remit the rest to me and smooth up the business till my directions can be had. 2d. You are to keep constant guards, yet with respect to the number and health of the soldiers. 3rd. You are weekly to deliver the soldiers their full weight and allowance of provisions of Beef or Venison, proportionable, when it is to be had, and keep an exact account thereof, as also what Venison you shall buy with powder and lead, in which you must be very sparing, and give but a small quantity for a deer, with regard to your stores, that you may not want ammunition upon occasion. 4th. You must avoid harshness of words and heat of passion in all occasions, seeking rather to reconcile differences than to be head of a party. Preserve yourself single and indifferent as to justice between soldiers and burghers. Give not too easy an ear to private whisperers and insinuators, which may overrule your judgement and beget a prejudice in your min against the Dutch. For though I am not apt to believe they have a natural affection to (the) English, yet without ill usage I do not find them so malicious as some will seek to persuade you they are. 5th. that the soldiers do give no abuse to the Indians either in the town or woods; but if an Indian happens to be drunk or abusive in the town you may put him upon the guard till he is sober, without inflicting any other punishment upon him, which point is one of the articles made between me and them. The Indians are not to come (with their arms fixed) into the town, but to leave them at the house without the ports, which I suppose is already built for them. 6th. That you take some seasonable opportunity to visit that tract of land which I have bought of the Indians, and is described in the articles; to which end, and as the season of the weather presents, it will be best that you get one or two of their Schems and some other of their Indians to go along with you, and thereof to give me the best account you can; as also that in the winter, when there is either an opportunity which offers itself, or some extra ordinary necessity happens, you fail not to send me words of your condition. 7th. You may yourself to your own use (or any soldier may to his own use) plough and sow corn upon any land which is not already granted to any of the present inhabitants of the Sopes, until you receive order from me to the contrary. 8th. In all matters which may happen accidentally you are required to make use of your best discretion, as you are punctually to observe my instructions to the particulars herein written and signed by me. This 23rd of October, 1665, in James Fort (signed) Richard Nicolls" Even though the governor had told him not to be prejudiced against the Dutch, Capt. Daniel could not find it in him to understand his Dutch and French neighbors. even the calendar became a battle. The Dutch preferred the New Style while the English used the old style. Capt. Daniel tried to break up a party that some of the Dutch had for New Years. Daniel married Ann TYE [10235] [MRIN: 3655], daughter of Francis TYE [10236] and Lettos SALMON [10237], about 1661 in England.1 (Ann TYE [10235] died in 1714 1.)

| 2310 | FOREWORD: The early 15th century alabaster tomb and effigies of Sir Robert Goushill and his wife Elizabeth Fitz-Alan Duchess of Norfolk are found at the parish church of the village of Hoveringham in Nottinghamshire, England. The tomb is located just to the right as you enter the church. The original medieval St. Michael church at Hoveringham was razed in 1865, and the present plain, small brick church (above left) was erected in it's place. The above copyright photographs were taken during a visit to Hoveringham in 1991 by Bruce Morrison of Lexington, Kentucky, a descendant of Robert Goushill and Elizabeth Fitz-Alan. THE TOMB & EFFIGIES: The effigies show effects of earlier vandalism and mutilation incurred during earlier centuries. The right arms of both effigies are broken and missing--they originally were holding hands. Some damage also occured when the monumemt was relocated when the present church was erected. The figures are of alabaster with Sir Robert Goushill shown wearing a camail and hawberk and plate armor on his arms and legs. His feet rest upon the figure of a dog, and his collar shows the badge of his Lancastrian loyalty. He wears a Bacinet on his head with a wreath which rests on a crowned Saracen's head. The Saracen's head was derived from the Goushill family crest. The Goushill of Hoveringham coat of arms was a barry of six or and gules with a canton ermine. The figure of Elizabeth Fitz-Alan is shown wearing a peeress gown with a coronet on her head emblematic of her rank as a duchess. The tomb was created after Sir Robert Goushill's tragic death in 1403, probably by the design of his widow Elizabeth Fitz-Alan who lived to 1425. It is likely that she was also buried in the tomb, but no definitive proof or evidence exists. Robert Thoroton's description of the tomb in the 17th century states that about the fair tomb were the arms of Leek, Longford, Babington, Chaworth impaling Caltofts, Remptons, and divers others. These are long lost as well as the tomb of Sir Nicholas Goushill, the son of Sir Thomas Goushill, who died in 1393. This stone was in the south isle of the original St. Michael Church. The lower base portion of the Goushill Fitz-Alan tomb is decorated by a series of shields on all sides which were probably the location of the large number of now lost coats of arms described in Thoroton's History. ROBERT GOUSHILL: Sir Robet Goushill was knighted by King Henry IV at the battle of Shrewsbury on July 21,1403. At the Battle of Shrewsbury the loyalist forces of Henry IV were opposed by the rebel army of Henry Percy (Hotspur). The army of King Henry IV won the day with the killing of Hotspur during the conflict. Casulties on both sides were high with estimates of 3000 killed or wounded on each side. Sir Robert Goushill was knighted the day of the battle for his gallantry, but was badly wounded in the side. Found lying wounded by his servant on the eve of the battle, Goushill asked that his armor be removed and a note sent to his wife Elizabeth in case of his death. The servant then stabbed and murdered Sir Robert Goushill and made off with his purse and ring. Another wounded man lying nearby recognized the servant, and he was later caught and hanged for the crime. The arms of Sir Robert Goushill would be placed in the Shrewsbury Battlefield Church by King Henry IV. Robert Goushill was the son and heir of Sir Nicholas Goushill of Hoveringham. The date of his birth is unknown, but can be estimated to be circa 1360-1365. Likewise, the name of his mother also remains unknown. The Goushill family had held extensive lands in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire since the 13th century. Walter Goushill, an early ancestor in the direct line, gained a number of these considerable holdings for the Goushills through his marriage to Maud (Matilda) Hathersage, the co-heiress of Mathew Hathersage in Derbyshire. (The early pedigree of the Goushill family of Hoveringham can be found in the History of Nottinghamshire by Dr Robert Thoroton). In the calendar of patent rolls of Richard II on March 12, 1386, the King orders the arrest of Sir Nicholas Goushill the elder and his son Robert Goushill to answer the suit brought by William Birkes accusing the Goushills of threatning him with the loss of life and limb that he dare go about his business. On July 16, 1385, Sir Nicholas Goushill received the King's pardon. During 1387, Nicholas Goushill knight of Hoveringham and his son Robert Goushill are found in the chancery records to owe a debt of 22 pounds to Robert Wells of London. The next mention of Robert Goushill occurs in 1390 when he receives the King's pardon for alleged outlawry and other felonies through the supplication of Thomas Mowbray. Thomas Mowbray was at that time Earl of Nottingham and later would become the Duke of Norfolk. This evidences that Robert Goushill was already a supporter of Thomas Mowbray of whom he would be an employee of for the next decade. Elizabeth Fitz-Alan, the future wife of Robert Goushill, had been the wife of Mowbray since 1384. During the 1390's, Robert Goushill would be in the retinue of Thomas Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham, Marshal of England, and Duke of Norfolk, serving as Mowbray's esquire and attorney. When Thomas Mowbray received his ducal elevation in 1397, he gave to his esquire Robert Goushill a 20 pound annuity for life from his manor at Willington. This grant was confirmed by Henry IV in November of 1399. In 1398, after the Duke of Norfolk was banished by Richard II, Robert Goushill was appointed one of the attorneys for Mowbray. At the coronation of King Edward IV on October 13, 1399, Robert Goushill would make a plea for the return of the banished Duke of Norfolk as Earl Marshall, not knowing Mowbray had already died of the plague in Venice, Italy on September 22, 1399. In the mid 1390's, Robert Goushill had married as a first wife Joan Bracebrugge, who was the widow of Sir Ralph Bracebrugge of Kingsbury, Warwickshire. Joan (maiden name unknown) had married Ralph Bracebrugge in 1380 and his death occured in August, 1395. The marriage of Robert Goushill and Joan Bracebrugge likely was in 1396, and Joan would die early in the year 1400. (IPM Henry IV, 1-6). In 1397 Richard II appointed Sir William Bagot and Robert Goushill to seize into his hands the goods and chattels of Thomas the late Earl of Warwick. (Goushill served as Warwickshire sheriff in 1396/97). After Richard II was deposed, the new King Henry IV made a grant on Feb. 23, 1400 to his kinswoman Elizabeth, the wife of the late Duke of Norfolk, of the remaining goods of the late Duke as well as clearing the debts that the Duke had owed to the deposed Richard II. Others to share in the remaining goods of the deceased Duke of Norfolk included Robert Goushill. Robert Goushill would marry the widowed Elizabeth Fitz-Alan, Duchess of Norfolk, in the latter part of 1400 or early 1401 without license. On August 19, 1401, King Henry IV seized the lands of Elizabeth, late widow of Thomas Mowbray, for marrying Robert Goushill without license. On September 28, 1401, Henry IV would pardon Robert Goushill esquire and Elizabeth, late wife of Thomas, duke of Norfolk, for their trespass for inter-marrying without license and that they shall have restitution of all lands assigned to her in dower with the issues from the time of their marriage. Joan Goushill, the 1st daughter of Robert and Elizabeth, would be born in 1401, and a 2nd daughter Elizabeth Goushill would be born in 1402. Many present day descendants of these two daughters trace their ancestry to the Plantagenet Kings of England through Joan Goushill who married Sir Thomas Stanley, 1st Baron Stanley, and Elizabeth Goushill who married Sir Robert Wingfield of Letheringham, Suffolk. (My own descent is through the Goushill-Wingfield marriage). A 3rd daughter named Joyce is now credited to Robert and Elizabeth. She was found in a 1407 lawsuit being named after older daughters Joan and Elizabeth. As she is not named in Robert Goushill's Inq. Post Mortum of 1403, she would certainly seem to have been born after Robert Goushill's death. No futher trace of Joyce Goushill has been found. After the tragic death of Sir Robert Goushill at the battle of Shrewsbury on July 21, 1403, his Inquisition Post Mortum was held August 6, 1403. His heirs are given as his daughters Joan and Elizabeth, aged two years and one year respectively. A final thought regarding the pedigree of the Goushill family of Hoveringham as given by Thoroton: the pedigree lists the Sir Nicholas Goushill dying in 1393 as the grandfather of Robert Goushill and Robert's father as another Nicholas Goushill. This 2nd Nicholas Goushill listed in the pedigree was very likely confused with the Sir Nicholas Goushill of Barlborough, Derbyshire who was also at the battle of Shrewsbury. He was certainly a relative and contemporary of Robert Goushill and either brother or first cousin, but not his father. The first 1380's records that mention Robert Goushill appear with Sir Nicholas Goushill the ELDER given as the father of Robert Goushill. I believe the evidence stongly suggests that the father of Robert Goushill was the Sir Nicholas Goushill who died in 1393 and was buried at St. Michael's church Hoveringham. ELIZABETH FITZ-ALAN: Elizabeth was the eldest daughter of Richard Fitz-Alan the 11th Earl of Arundel and his wife Elizabeth de Bohun. Both the Fitz-Alan and Bohun family lines were among the highest in the peerage of medieval England. Elizabeth Fitz-Alan had a double line of direct descent from the Plantagenet Kings of England. Through her mother's Bohun line she was a direct descendant of King Edward I and Eleanor of Castile, and through her Fitz-Alan ancestry a direct descendant of King Henry III and Eleanor of Provence. She was also related by cousinship to both King Henry IV and to his first wife Mary Bohun. Eliza | Goushill, Sir Robert (I25418)
