according to http://www.homestead.com/parkscrapbook/files/gene.htm Further Information on the Ancestry of Dorothy Tompson Parke (1624-1709) William G. Cook, newly-elected President of the Park/e/s Society, at the annual meeting of the Society in Mystic, Connecticut on Aug. 11, 1973, gave the "address of the day" in which he reported that records compiled by various genealogists and historians show that the distinguished ancestors of Dorothy Tompson, through her mother Alice Freeman, include 69 Kings and Emperors. This is not surprising when you consider the custom of restricting royal marriages to the aristocracy and the intermingling of royal lines. On Mr. Cook's nine-foot chart was shown the line of descent from Cedric, King of the West Saxons already mentioned on page 1 of this document. Additional lines of descent trace the forebears back through the English Kings Henry II (1132-89) and Henry I (1070-1135) to William the Conqueror (1027-87). Among William the Conqueror's ancestors was Charlemagne (742-814), sometimes rated as The Greatest King of The Middle Ages. The Scottish Kings among Dorothy Tompson's forebears were Malcolm III (1031-93), Malcolm II and Duncan I who died in 1040. Another line of her ancestry runs through Llewellyn the Great of Wales (1173-1240) back to Brian Boru (941-1014) King of Ireland. Can someone tell me the lineage to Brian Boru????????
