Re: Frederick II Hohenstaufen, Stupor Mundi, -to- QEII

Dear Beverley,
There are definitely many lines connecting Friedrich II
, Holy Roman Emperor to Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, the two most
common are probably through his natural son Manfred, King of Sicily who by
Beatrice of Savoy had a daughter and heiress Constance of Sicily took the kingdom
to her husband King Pedro III of Aragon, daughter Isabel of Aragon married
Diniz, King of Portugal, daughter Constance of Portugal married King Ferdinand IV
of Castile, their son King Alonso XI of Castile married his 1st cousin Maria
of Portugal, the daughter of King Afonso IV ( brother of Constance) and
Beatrice of Castile ( daughter of King Sancho IV and sister of King Ferdinand IV,
their mother was Maria, daughter of Alfonso, Duke of Molina) Alfonso XI of
Castile had by Maria of Portugal an only surviving son, King Pedro I the Cruel of
Castile who by Maria de Padilla who by her left two daughters of doubtful
legitimacy, Constance, 2nd wife of John of Ghent, Duke of Lancaster whose daughter
Catherine of Lancaster married King Henry III of Castile and Isabel who married
his brother Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Duke of York and became ancestress
through that marriage of the Royal House of York and all the subsequent Royal
