Ancestors clash at Crécy Having just finished a good historical novel about the Battle of Crécy: Harlequin by Bernard Cornwell, it seemed interesting to trace my descent from the opposing kings and also the commander of the English right and left wings. For simplicity I have chosen only one of the several lines of descent from each person. Read Froissart's account of the battle here. First, the English commanders: The Earl of Warwick Commanding the left wing Edward III At the windmill, commander in chief William de Bohun Earl of Northampton Commanding the right wing Thos Beauchamp E of Warwick m Katherina Mortimer Thos Beauchamp E of Warwick m Margaret de Ferrers Richard Beauchamp E of Warw m Isabel le Despencer Anne Beauchamp m Richard Neville Isabel Neville m George Plantagenet Margaret Plantagenet m Sir Richard Pole Ursula Pole m Henry Stafford Sir William Stafford m Dorothy Stafford William Stafford m Anne Grynne Dorothy Stafford m Thomas Tyndale William Tyndale m Margaret Atherly Thomas Tyndale m Elizabeth Booth George Tyndale m Vere Booth George Booth Tyndale m Elizabeth Annesley Elizabeth Vere Tyndale m Rev Arthur Annesley George Annesley m Emily Vere Forster Georgina Cecilia Annesley m Charles Ball-Acton Evelyn Ball-Acton m Edward Nixon Wynne Emily Wynne m Martin Parsons Edward III of England m Philippa of Hainault Edmund Plantagenet m Isabel of Castile Richard Earl of Cambridge m Anne Mortimer Richard Plantagenet Duke of York m Cecily Neville George Plantagenet m Isabel Neville Margaret Plantagenet m Sir Richard Pole Ursula Pole m Henry Stafford Sir William Stafford m Dorothy Stafford William Stafford m Anne Grynne Dorothy Stafford m Thomas Tyndale William Tyndale m Margaret Atherly Thomas Tyndale m Elizabeth Booth George Tyndale m Vere Booth George Booth Tyndale m Elizabeth Annesley Elizabeth Vere Tyndale m Rev Arthur Annesley George Annesley m Emily Vere Forster Georgina Cecilia Annesley m Charles Ball-Acton Evelyn Ball-Acton m Edward Nixon Wynne Emily Wynne m Martin Parsons William de Bohun m Elizabeth de Badlesmere Elizabeth de Bohun m Richard Fitzallan Elizabeth Fitzallan m Thomas Mowbray Duke of Norfolk Lady Margaret Mowbray m Sir Robert Howard John Howard m Katherine Moleyns Thomas Howard Duke of Norfolk m Elizabeth Tilney Thomas Howard Duke of Norfolk m Elizabeth Stafford Sir Henry Howard m Frances de Vere Thomas Howard Duke of Norfolk m Margaret Audley William Howard m Elizabeth Dacre Margaret Howard m Sir Thomas Cotton Sir John Cotton m Dorothy Anderson John Cotton m Frances Downing Frances Cotton m William Hanbury Mary Hanbury m Rev Martin Annesley Elizabeth Annesley m George Booth Tyndale Elizabeth Tyndale m Rev Arthur Annesley George Annesley m Emily Vere Forster Georgina Annesley m Charles Ball-Acton Evelyn Ball-Acton m Edward Wynne Emily Wynne m Martin Parsons The commander of the second division: Richard Fitzallan Earl of Arundel And the French King: Philippe VI Richard Fitzallan m Eleanor Plantagenet Joan Fitzallan m Humphrey de Bohun Eleanor de Bohun m Thomas of Woodstock Duke of Gloucester Ann Plantagenet m Edmund Earl of Stafford Humphrey Duke of Buckingham m Anne Neville Humphrey Earl of Stafford m Margaret Beaufort Henry duke of Buckingham m Catherine Wydville Edward Duke of Buckingham m Eleanor de Percy Henry Baron Stafford m Ursula Pole Sir William Stafford m Dorothy Stafford William Stafford m Anne Grynne Dorothy Stafford m Thomas Tyndale William Tyndale m Margaret Atherly Thomas Tyndale m Elizabeth Booth George Tyndale m Vere Booth George Booth Tyndale m Elizabeth Annesley Elizabeth Vere Tyndale m Rev Arthur Annesley George Annesley m Emily Vere Forster Georgina Cecilia Annesley m Charles Ball-Acton Evelyn Ball-Acton m Edward Nixon Wynne Emily Wynne m Martin Parsons Philippe VI of France m Jeanne de Bourgogne Jean II of France m Judith of Bohemia Philip the Bold of Bourgogne m Margarethe of Bavaria Marie de Bourgoyne m Adolf I Duke of Kleve Katharina of Kleve m Arnold Duke of Guelders Maria of Guelders m James II of Scotland Mary Stewart m James Hamilton James Hamilton m Janet Beaton James Hamilton m Margaret Douglas Claud Hamilton m Margaret Seton James Hamilton m Marrion Claud Hamilton of Strabane m Jean Gordon Catherine (Hamilton) of Abercorn m Owen I Wynne Lucy Wynne m John ffolliott Catherine ffolliott m Owen Wynne Owen IV Wynne m Anne Maxwell Revd Henry Wynne m Catherine Eckersall Clara Wynne m George Wynne Edward Nixon Wynne m Evelyn Ball-Acton Emily Wynne m Martin Parsons
