Also, some discussion on the Usenet group soc.genealogy.medieval with Chico Doria and others, and my manuscript “Beatrice Fettiplace: a Portuguese Lady in England.”Comment:
This provisional line has been given some credence through experienced Portuguese genealogists' assessment of the armorial evidence and the chronology for Beatriz. More work needs to be done to solidify this conjectural descent.
1. Edward III
