These lines cover most of my research thus far. To trace back to Edward I through his daughter Joan of Acre, his sons Thomas and Edmund as well as Elizbeth would take up tremendous amounts of space. -----Original Message----- From: Amanda McCormick [mailto:McCormackNnp@msn.com] Sent: Friday, April 09, 2004 10:51 PM To: PLANTAGENET-DESCENDANTS-PROJECT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PDP] RE: My most direct Plantagenet linneage I might as well list my Plantagenet descent.

He was called Beauclerc because he was literate. > He was literate because, as fourth son he had been destined for the church. Beauclerc meant good scholar. Henry's next older brother Robert had already died in 1081 and his eldest brother, Robert III, by agreement with William II 'Rufus' was to succeed him as King of England on his death. Unfortunately for Robert he was away on Crusade when William died. Henry saw his chance and claimed the throne before his brother Robert could get back and claim it himself. Besides being literate in Latin and French, Henry was the first Norman ruler of England to be fluent in English.
