Dear Newsgroup ~

:In 1275, Edward le Boteler, rector of Weston-Turville, co. Buckingham, died without issue, leaving as his co-heirs his four sisters or their descendants. Two of the sisters were Ankaret, wife of John le Strange and Thomas de Ferrers (ancestress of the le Strange family of Blackmere) and Alice, wife of Nicholas Longford (ancestress of the Longford, Montgomery, Clarell, Fitzwilliam, and many other families). The two sisters have many descendants, including many people who post here on the the newsgroup."

"Edward Boteler and his four sisters were the children of William le Boteler, of Wem and Oversley, Shropshire, by his 2nd wife, Ela de Herdeburgh. Previously the Herdeburgh family was not thought to possess any royal ancestry, however, it appears that Ela de Herdeburgh does in fact descend from King Henry II through the Longespee family..."
