Another Kingly Follow-Up

After looking over my supposed royal ancestry, I believe one of the trees I found and imported was in error. Specifically, I have found several web resources that state that Lady Margaret De Holand (1381-1439) was not the daughter of Thomas De Holand, 1st Earl of Kent (1314-1360), and Joan (Plantagenet) of Kent, Countess of Kent (1328-1385). She was the daughter of Thomas De Holand, 2nd Earl of Kent (1354-1397), and Alice FitzAlan (1350-1416).

This particular Margaret De Holand also did not marry Marmaduke De Lumley. She married John De Beaufort. The Margaret De Holand who married good ole Marmaduke was born circa 1353. So, I may have misconnected two people with the same names, but different birth dates.

So, for the time being, never mind.

Incidentally, Alice FitzAlan's mother was another Plantagenet, Lady Eleanor. Those wily Royals intermarried early and often, explaining why they had so many recurring genetic health problems in later generations.
