How about a 5th century King of Kent?

This is a ridiculous follow up to my previous post.

I know this borders on the absurd, since by the time you get to the year 440 CE you are pretty much related to everyone alive today (I think that's the case). Regardless, I found more than one family branch coming from kings, and one case where it looked like royal brother and half-sister married. Heh. That explains a lot.

I found a point much nearer to the present where first cousins married, though none of those people are directly related to me--only by marriage. I do have mouth-breathing cousins and uncles (don't tell them that, though) that are about 3 generations away from their kissin' cousins. Oh, well.

From the previous list, I noticed that Joan Lumley, b. 1430 (month and day unknown), married a man just 4 years older, and had a child in 1440. Yep. She got married in 1439 when she was probably just 9 years old, to a "man" who was maybe 13. I guess it was one of those "arranged marriages", or something. Oh, and talk about an early start!

My favorite name from the bunch has to be Marmaduke De Lumley. I can't even say it without laughing, but he was probably much more serious about it.

So, why don't you all go back and see if you can find out which kings are your ancestors?
