In Reply to: Re: Robert de Beaumont (d.1118) & Elizabeth de Vermandois by Michael Rose of 711

I have two lines from this famous couple - son Sir Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester and daughter Elisabeth (Isabella) de Beaumont, who at a very young age, and prior to her marriage, was a mistress of King Henry I. King Henry 'gave her away' at her wedding. Her husband was the historically famous Gilbert Strongbow Fitz Gilbert de Clare.
I also have ancestors from Elizabeth de Vermandois' 2nd marriage to William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, with whom she committed adultry while still married to Robert de Beaumont. A famous case much written about. I have two ancestors from her marriage to William de Warenne - son William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, and daughter Ada de Warenne, who maried Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon and younger son of King David I of Scotland.

Here is my lineage from Isabella, the daughter of Robert de Beaumont and Elizabeth de Vermandois:
1. Isabella de Beaumont m. 1130 Gilbert Strongbow FitzGilbert de Clare
2. Richard Strongbow Fitz Gilbert de Clare m. 1171 Aoife of Leinster. He was the historically famous Anglo-Norman Conqueror of Ireland and she was the daughter of the King of Leinster in Ireland,
3. Isabel de Clare m. 1189 William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke. At her marriage she was the 2nd wealthiest woman in England (and Ireland) and he became known as "The Greatest Knight" with honors from several English kings.

5. John de Warenne m. 1247 Alice de Lusignan
6. Eleanor de Warenne m. 1268 Henry de Percy, Baron of Topcliffe, North Yorkshire
7. Henry de Percy, 1st Lord Percy m. c.1295-1300 Eleanor de Arundel
8. Henry de Percy, 2nd Lord Percy m. c.1319-20 Idonea de Clifford
9. Henry de Percy, 3rd Lord Percy m. c.1334 Mary of Lancaster
10. Henry de Percy, 4th Lord Percy m. 1358 Margaret de Neville
11. Henry 'Hotspur' de Percy m. c.1379 Elizabeth de Mortimer
12. Elizabeth Percy m. c.1404 John Clifford 7th Lord Clifford
13. Thomas Clifford 8th Lord Clifford m. c.1424 Joan (Jane) Dacre
14. Maud/Matilda Clifford m. c.1460 Edmund Sutton (Dudley)
15. Dorothy Sutton (Dudley) m. c.1473 Richard Wrottesley
16. Jane (Joan) Wrottesley m. c.1500-10 Richard Cressett
17. Margaret Cressett m. c.1535 Thomas More
18. Jasper More m. 1572 Elizabeth Smale
19. Katherine More m. 1611 Samuel More
(her adulterous relationship with Jacob Blakeway produced Richard More and 3 other children)
20. Richard More m. 1636 Christan Hunter
(he was a Mayflower Passenger at age 5)
21. Susanna More m. 1675 Samuel Dutch
22. Susannna Dutch m. 1705 Benjamin Knowlton
23. Susanna Knowlton m. 1739 Josiah Dodge
