Henry I.

While you and I are in direct contact with this family, I will also post it
here on the Gen-Medieval list, as there are others also interested.
Here is what I found on WFT CD # 11. While the CD is used only for hints
because they are often very wrong, this looks like it might be correct. It
will need to be verified as there are no sources listed.
Henry III, king of England x Eleanor of Provence
\
Edward I, king of England x Eleanor of Castille
\
Eleanor of Eng. b. 1264 d. 1297 x Henri, Count of Bar d. 1302.
\
Eleanor of Bar x Llwelyn ap Owen Lord of South Wales
\
Thomas ap Llwelyn Lord of Iscoed x Eleanor
\
Helen of Iscoed x Gruffyd Fychen
\
Lowry x Robert Puleston

From this point on the descent given here is worthless. Eleanor of England,
countess of Bar, did not have a daughter Eleanor. Her only daughter was Joan,
the childless wife of the last de Warrenne earl of Surrey. This fabricated
descent through a non-existent daughter also leads to the Tudors, and was
evidently originally concocted to give that family a drop of Plantagenet blood
of their own even before Edmund Tudor married Margaret Beaufort.

Use them as a "Finding Aid" if some will --- that probably cannot be
stopped --- but what one often "finds" --- not surprisingly --- is
rubbish, whale feces and balderdash --- that's dreck for the New
Yorkers among us, who may be linguistically challenged.
People [some people] tend to think "if it's ACTUALLY on CD [or in
print, they don't know about vanity presses] it must be good stuff,
otherwise why would they be ALLOWED to put it there?" Yes, Gentle
Readers, I've actually heard reasonably intelligent folks [well, they
walk and talk] say that --- many folks.
Of course, Broderbund has just taken in a lot of rubbish, _____ and
_____ --- then --- sliced and diced it through the electronic byte
chopper and shoveled it onto the CD's. Intelligent analysis of the
data, in accordance with standard Thucydidean Rules of History and
Genealogy [Vide infra] there was not. Careful vetting and checking,
coupled with triangulation of data points went by the board --- in the
rush to get the rubbish, _____ and _____ to market.

partly on what others saw for me, the accuracy of the report being
always tried by the most severe and detailed tests possible.
My conclusions have cost me some labour from the want of coincidence
between accounts of the same occurrences by different eyewitnesses,
arising sometime from imperfect memory, sometimes from undue
partiality for one side or the other.
Absence of romance in my History will, I fear, detract somewhat from
its interest; but I shall be content if it is judged useful by those
inquirers who desire an exact knowledge of the past as an aid to the
interpretation of the future which in the course of things must
resemble if it does not reflect it. My History has been composed to

Dear Ray,
One source which does not give Eleanor of Bar-x-Llwelyn
is Schwennicke Volume VI page 147. However, this page gives only one child,
a son. In Burke's Guide to the Royal Family
page 197 is a telling note by Princess Eleanor, she left issue, one son and
one (or possibly two) daughters. One daughter, Jeanne, has already been
mentioned. The same book,
page 325, gives Llywelyn ap Owain as dying in 1309, leaving issue but no
record of a wife. Are we back to square one?
It is still possible but so far we have not seen anything
substantial (I have not seen Ed Mann's) sources positively
promoting this link. Personally, and I may well be wrong,
I doubt very much that a girl with an English royal princess for mother
would marry an obscure Welshman.
Best wishes
Leo van de Pas

Yes. See Ä27-27.
Weis cites TAG 38:180; Bridgeman, _Princes_of_South_Wales_, pp. 203-204,
209; _The_Genealogist_ 5:166 (1881), none of which I have available to
check.
Alison Weir lists this marriage as "said to have", but calls it
doubtful. See BRF:82. I show the marriage in my db, but with no issue.
And...

Precisely. Given Edward I's well-attested efforts to ensure the virtual
extinction of the Welsh princely lines (including enclosing in a convent for
life the infant only offspring of his cousin Eleanor de Montfort by the last
reigning Welsh prince), it is next to impossible to believe that he would
have allowed one of his own granddaughters to make such a marriage. We
possess fairly comprehensive wardrobe and household documentation for the
late years of Edward's life, moreover, and the first years of the reign of
his son Edward II, and there are no indications in this mass of material
that a royal kinswoman married a Welsh lord in this period--no kingly
gifts to the couple, no food provided for the wedding feast, no money for
offerings at the nuptial mass as was customary when the king or queen
attended such a wedding or wished to indicate their approval, etc. Nothing.
