"One of my 23rd Great Grandmothers."

Mine too. Read a biography of her a while back by Alison Weir. Very well researched. She was a very interesting woman. Married twice, having to get special dispensations from Rome because of the laws of sanguinity. The power struggles between the sons she had with Henry II, probably gave her many headaches and heartaches, but she remained resolute, even during the time her husband locked her away.
