Mayflower Royal Descents? (Was Re: Ghost of Lady Witham-Jops

"Exactly how many and which ones are descended from Edward I or the
other medieval English monarchs?"

So far, only the More children are proved from Edward I. Though almost
certainly (though not definitively) the Winslow brothers descend twice
form Edward III.

"Aside from Standish the military leader, were William Bradford the
governor and William Brewster the religious leader the highest ranking
members of the Pilgrims? Do they descend from the Plantagenets?"

No. Bradford and Brewster were solidly of the middle class, neither yet
with ancient ancestry. The highest ranking person on the Mayflower in
1620 was beyond question Edward Winslow [see NEHGR 154 (Jan. 2000)
78-108].
