Matilda of Flanders, Queen Consort of England - Who fathered her children? Things have changed

Matilda of Flanders is my 30th Great Grandmother, i always believe William the Conqueror, my 30th great Grandfather fathered her children.....

You are my 28th cousin once removed, Hi by the way!

HI :)
YEP so why am I related to her and not him? Something is wrong somewhere.

Matilda bore William eleven children, and he was believed to have been faithful to her, at least up until the time their son Robert rebelled against his father and Matilda sided with Robert against William.

She's my 24th ggmother.

Dear Joyce

As a Belgian, she is also no doubt the ancestress of the Belgian chocolate industry. You owe all your new-found cousins a box of Leonidas chocolates. We will send you our addresses soon.

SHE IS MY 25TH GGMOTHER!

She is my 23rd great grandmother.

Woodman, I will certainly send you all some if I don't eat them all myself....:-)
