You are agreeing with Spencer Hines that if, for example, I make a detailed
list of descendants of Queen Victoria, I cannot mention Prince Albert
"because he does not descend from Victoria", only if Victoria had married a
son could he be mentioned as a spouse "because he descends from Victoria"?
Emperor Friedrich III has to be left out and so does Queen Alexandra? The
Queen Mother?
To use Hines' war cry HILARIOUS, really Victoria, it just is getter
better
all the time.

Dear Leo,
I have to agree with Spencer on the point that not every
spouse among the descendants of an individual should be counted as
themselves a
descendant. no matter whom the Father or the Mother may be. Some are (In
this
case [Isabel de Vermandois] it is likely that several couples are in
fact both
descended from her, yet several is not all.
