I sense a family reunion in the offing.
Oh no! I am related to Kings of France also!

That would pose a lot of curiosity. Not welcome, either.

I only wish it was acceptable in freeperland to use the actual internet verbage... a certain amount of context is lost in not being able to write T*TS or GT*O.

I wish I knew how to post a link to a website. Benny Hill does a version of Lady Godiva, and it’s on youtube.

As long as they’re real, no worries. :’) The last of the Plantagenet kings of England is estimated to have a million descendants in the US; his father is estimated to have ten million. :’o

Do have a source for that? It is not that I disbelieve you but it is an area I want to find out a couple things especially relating to DNA.

For those who didn’t major in engineering:
Godiva was a lady who through Coventry did ride.
Showing all the villagers her lily white hide.
The most observant man of all, an engineer of course
Was the only one who noticed that Godiva rode a horse.
She said, “I’ve come a long, long way, and I will go as far
With the man who takes me from this horse and leads me to a bar
The man who took her from her steed and lead her to a beer
Was a bleary-eyed surveyor and a drunken engineer.
Godiva was a lady well-endowed there is no doubt
She never wore a stitch of clothes, just wound her hair about
The first man who did make her was a Engineer, of course,
But on just one beer an artsie queer had made Godiva’s horse.

Maybe I am directly descended from Lady Godiva on my fathers side, like the genealogist said but somehow it just struck me as odd. On our mothers side she said we were Mayflower descends too and that we also had an ancestor who arrived on the 2nd ship after the Mayflower.
Doesn't that sound like just a bit too much? I haven't sat down to go through the massive volumes that she prepared for us. Maybe when I do it will be a bit more believable.

Victorian painters of medieval themes are often referred to as pre-Raphaelite, following an artistic style thought to have existed prior to the Renaissance.
Various 19th Century renditions of “The Birth of Venus” make Lady Godiva look like a prude, especially as done by French painters.
