Which Elizabeth Princess of England was Aufrica's mother? Given that
Aufrica was born around 1128, the only princesses I can think of would
either be daughters/granddaughters of the Conquerer (I'm not aware of any
Elizabeths) or even descendants of Edward the Exile, and I'm not sure if
St. Margaret or Christina Abbess of Romsey would ever have been referred
to as Princesses of England. So I'm a little confused.

This was discussed here some time ago. Uchtred, son of Fergus and
Elizabeth appears as kinsman of Henry II. Elizabeth, wife of Fergus is
said to have been illegitimate daughter of William II of England, but
the chronology of this relationship is too long. It has thus been
suggested, and generally accepted that she was instead bastard of Henry
I.
