The claim that the above couple had a dau. Mary cannot be accepted (See Eng. 120). Possibly this has been misconstrued with the Mary, possible dau. of Edmund "Crouchback", and therefore granddaughter of Henry III. On the supposition that Mary was the dau. of Henry III, she was erroneously sealed to the above couple on 18 May 1933. Ordinance work for a supposed son Robert was also erroneously done, and he was sealed to this couple on 14 Mar 1938; however, there is no positive evidence that Henry III had a son Robert.

Espolin (GS #12462, pt 1, p. 98-99) RESEARCH NOTES: A daughter Isabel has been mentioned but cannot be verified--possibly synonymous with one of the others already mentioned (see Eng. 120, v. 1, p. 193) HISTORICAL NOTES: Edward I is sometimes referred to as "the English Justinian". He had a love for justice, honor, and order in his affairs. At one point in his reign, he faced a declaration of war with France and rebellions from the Welsh and Scots. He decided that the only way to overcome his difficulties would be to elicit the support of his people. In 1295 he called together a parliament consisting of representatives of the nobility, the church, and the common people. This "Model parliament" marked the beginning of parliamentary government in England, a system which has continued to the present day. "What touches all," Edward proclaimed, "should be approved by all, and it is also clear that common dangers should be met by measures agreed upon in common." He restricted the power of the king by accepting the rule that taxes could not be levied or laws made except by the consent of parliament. Sixty-two of the families in Royal Ancestors are shown to descend from Edward I.
