Are you saying here that Reyner de Burgh was living in 35 Henry III ?
If so, then I find it remarkable that a historian or antiquarian would
attempt to say that Reyner was the father of a man who was surely long dead
already, and after a long career.

How Reyner could be thrust backward two centuries without serious harm is
beyond me.

Perhaps Reyner and Joan really are the parents of *some* Hubert, just not
*the* Hubert?
Otherwise I cannot see how anyone could make such an outrageous mistake.

Perhaps there is more than one Alice Pouchard? The whole thing has now
achieved a new high-water mark for confusion.
