Royal & Noble Bastard Descents -- A Fertile Subject

"I'm descended from Edward III through John of Gaunt and Henry Cardinal
Beaufort. Does that make me a despised aristocrat? How far back does the
onus of aristocracy extend?" -- "Hippo"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hilarious!

Henry de Beaufort was a bastard of John of Gaunt.

So, "Hippo" has at least one Royal Bastard Descent -- there are probably
others.

Deeeeelightful!

Abigail Smith Adams [1744-1818], the wife of John Adams, our Second
President of the United States was also a descendant of Henry de Beaufort.

So, she and "Hippo" are related.

Abigail Adams was also the mother of John Quincy Adams -- our Sixth
President.

John and John Quincy were the only other father-son Presidential duo before
Bush 41 and Bush 43.

"Hippo's" alleged ancestor, Henry de Beaufort [c. 1375-1447] who was Bishop
of Lincoln 1398, Bishop of Winchester 1405, Cardinal St. Eusebius 1417, and
Lord Chancellor -- was also the principal mentor to and royal trainer of
King Henry V, so Henry could assume his royal duties in the superb fashion
which he demonstrated as one of England's Greatest Monarchs.

Cardinal de Beaufort also participated in the trial of Joan of Arc at Rouen
on 24 May 1431 -- at which she was condemned and then burned at the stake.

No wonder "Hippo" and the French don't get along all that well.

The mother of Cardinal de Beaufort's daughter Joan [Jane] was said to have
been Alice FitzAlan, wife of John Cherleton, 4th Lord Cherleton of Powis
[1362 - 19 October 1401, sine prole].

Lady Alice was also a 2nd great-granddaughter of Edward I 'Longshanks' of
_Braveheart_ fame -- so "Hippo" has multiple descents from Edward I as well.
