One to after that source dedicated to their youngsters ‘s the following abstract regarding ‘Kings and you will Queens of Britain’ a respected publication, published by Oxford College Drive, webpage 106:

‘Llywelyn abdominal Iorwerth, b.1173, child of Iorwerth Drwyndwn (‘Flatnose’) and you may Marared, child out-of Madog ap Maredudd; acc. east Gwynedd 1195; partnered Joan, illegitimate child off King John, 1205; issue: Gruffudd (illegitimate), Dafydd, Gwenllian, Helen, Gwladus, Margaret, Susanna; passed away eleven April 1240; buried: Aberconwy.’

To show that it’s not simply me personally you to definitely thinks therefore, i would ike to offer one genealogist who’s a great fan off Sharon: “I am extremely attracted to Sharon Kay Penman’s instructions. While they commonly purely biographical, I feel hotter relying on their strive to ‘submit the brand new blanks’ (given the amount of browse she however set in their particular courses), compared to in reality citing particular genealogical supplies that i have come across the during my browse (I understand we find source that way).

Joanna passed away for the Feb 1237.

(b) John’s genuine daughter Joan, from the Isabella of Angouleme (partnered so you’re able to John into the 1200 in the decades a dozen!), came to be on Gloucester to your twenty-two July 1210 (understand the Tewkesbury Annals regarding Goes Collection, vol. thirty six.we, p. 59; the newest Worcester Annals, ibid., vol. thirty-six.iv, p. 399; therefore the Rotuli Litterarum Patencium getting John’s Reign, pp. 124, 143). This is the Joan exactly who then hitched Alexander II away from Scotland and you will she died in 1238, particular months just after Joanna (this may account fully for a number of the dilemma evident between your a couple of feminine). She left no issue from the Alexander II.
