"I’ve a line to Katherine Swynford nee DeRoet who married John of Gaunt and to every English monarch since. That, and Two-Fifty, will get me a cup of coffee anywhere."

We're related. Also Feinnes, and the "ancestral pile" is Hurstmonceux Castle, now the British Naval Observatory. I'm also related to John Howland, who fell overboard from the Mayflower, but, fortunately for me, was rescued.

Katherine lived most of her life in and around Lincolshire and is buried in the Lincoln Cathedral.
Maybe I’ll see you at Thanksgiving dinner... :{)
