Edward and Alfred's mother was Emma of Normandy who was the sister of Richard (II) the Good of Normandy, Richard was also the father of Robert the Magnificent who was the father of William.
So they were second cousins. Or first cousins once removed. I can never keep those straight.
I’d have to get out my genealogy to keep up with you on that stuff. (It’s about my brain...)
I have a really hugh genealogy chart that has all of the Royalty on it. It’s quite interesting. I just have no wall to hang it on.
