Discussion

Generations 1–6 follow well-known Plantagenet and FitzAlan lines and can be found in most good references on royal genealogy, such as Douglas Richardson's Royal Ancestry. They do not particularly need further discussion here. The Echyngham family in generations 7–8 is less well known, but can also be found briefly in Royal Ancestry. In due course, I hope to add more notes on that family. There is some discussion on generations 8–9 in the discussion of the Rogers family of Bryanston, which is a family I'm actively researching. Generations 9–14 are discussed in detail on the Lovell family of Eling page and include the weakest link in the descent which is John Lovell: whether the John who married Jane Howell is the same John who was baptised in 1601, son of Henry. For the next generations, 14–18, the line follows the Bull family of the New Forest, a line I have researched over the last few years and seems moderately solid, though there is an small possibility that the Charles Bull in generation 17 conflates two people. The more recent generations can be found in the tables of my ancestors.
