17th great grand daughter here! Thanks for sharing your work. It would be fun to hold a reunion of all fellow 18th generation descendants and dress as medieval royals, host coronation and give out titles.. its our divine rite, right? Hollyrood 2023? Thanks again Long live the House of Stewart🏵
Yes like millions of others I suppose (??), these are my 17th great grandparents through the Hamilton line. Thank you for telling this story! I wish they would make the story of John of Gaunt and Kathryn Swynford (also a love story) as well as Joan Beaufort and King James into a movie (or tv series) don'tchya think? Love Olivia's picture and her presence in the video... very cute!
Yes, interesting! For the record, Queen Joan Beaufort’s mother, Lady Margaret de Holand, was the daughter of Lady Alice Fitzalan (descendant of King Henry III). Lady Alice’s brother, Richard Fitzalan, 11th Earl of Arundel, was the father of Lady Elizabeth Fitzalan who was married 4 times. By her 2nd and 3rd husbands, Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, and Sir Robert Goushill, she was the mother of Lady Isabel Mowbray (wife of Sir James Berkeley) and Elizabeth Goushill (wife of Sir Robert Wingfield of Letheringham, Suffolk). These two half sisters were ancestors of two colonial immigrants to Virginia of landed gentry descent who were my mother’s ancestors. This is more common in American families of colonial descent than most people realize. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this information!I am researching my descendants and trying to discover when,where and how my grandparents were connected. My grandfather (last name Dover) was a direct descendant of Christopher Robinson Baron of Rappahannock and my grandmother was a Whitton/Lout lineage. (One of her direct descendants was William the Immigrant and another was a pilot on the Mayflower!) It was quite common for 2nd and 3rd cousins to marry.
Thank you for this information Steve. I thought I had gotten Margaret Holland’s tree wrong but you have given me hope that I have don’t it properly and my information is correct!!
I just learned that James 1 of Scotland was my 15th great grandfather and did a search to try to learn more about him and his life. Thanks for the info cousin!
We must be connected my father's family, the MacFarlane's, settled in Perth, Ontario Canada from Scotland, and you might share the same ancestors as I do. King James Stewart II of Scotland, his son; Alexander Stewart, Duke of Albany, his son; Alexander Stewart, Bishop of Moray.
Then you are both my cousins. I'm related through the Black Knight as well! This was such a wonderful video! And Olivia's picture really added a great visual! Thank you to you both!
Thanks Greg, I know some of this. My mother's linage was in the descendances of the Black Knight of Lorne also of John Stewart 5th Earl of Atholl and Margaret Lindsay's son James whom it appears married his step-mother whom as senior heiress later had James imprisoned in London. It appears James was also married to his half sister Mary. I would like to understand this scenario in all its ugliness or should I say Improprieties. Also I apologise that the ancestor prior to John Stewart was Walter Stewart one of the conspirators accused of killing James 1st of Scotland. One story being it was because two young Douglass sons were killed by James but who knows for sure. What I would like to find out is why Mary Ruthven or her daughter Mary who married James Stewart 6th Earl of Atholl had him imprisoned because I know he is an ancestor of my maternal family down to 1747 for sure to his son William Stewart who married Isobel Fraser who died in childbirth at the time of her daughter's birth who was named Ann Stewart born 1801. I find it difficult to link from these findings to Walter Stewart. @@greglewis2266
I am getting a custom embroidered hat done with the Steward coat of arms!! one day I may even show a video of all my family heraldry hats I have once the other few arrive in the mail! they are all custom embroidered hats!
My family is through Louis XI, With ash blond hair and blue eyes. In 1st grade, I would play with my lips like Olivia did in this video and the teacher scolded/embarrassed me in front of the whole class. I love walking animals, gardening, and writing poetry. The Valois gave me a shrewd personality and we were from Thomas Holand, a possible bell ringer aka Mac Caillin. Not afraid to fight when push comes to shove but also merciful like Phillipa of Hainault too.
They are my 17th & 18th great grandparents on my 7th great grandmothers side due to some crafty inter-familial marriage arranging that happened up her tree!! ❤️❤️❤️ Signed, a cousin in Oregon!!
I played Queen Joan in our Primary 5 school play about the assassination of James I! It was fascinating to me as I thought nothing exciting had ever happened in our home town of Perth!
My grandparents lived out on cape cod and kennedys neighbors then my sister told me we ralated to the kennedys . Funny my dads brother married a Ford . They would take me to Massachusetts for holiday dinners with fords. I lived in wells maine next door neighbors to the bush family in kennebunk pirt maine. I roade my bike passed their house everyday on my way to fish the inlet river. Their house is on a man made usland in the ocean. Not too too far off the shore but far enough commoners cant get to them. LoL
Thanks so much for the wonderful video about 'our' grandparents. My connection is through Sir Thomas Whipple and Lady Isabell Buchan Whipple, Countess of Bothwel and the daughter of James Stewart and Joan Beaufort. They too are my grandparents, 17 generations ago. Years ago, when visiting Edinburg Castle, it felt strangely familiar and little did I know at the time of my heritage.
Thanks for sharing this. They are my 18th great-grandparents too - I just discovered this recently as I'm researching my family tree. My ancestry then goes through James 2nd, then his daughter Mary, Duchess of Hamilton, eventually to the Stewart line who eventually went to Ireland. I'm a 5th generation New Zealander - it's been fun finding out about all this.
they're my 12th Great-grandparents too, through the Stewart line. Along with King John my 17th Great-grand father and Robert the Bruce my 15th Great-grandfather
So nice that you are sharing this history with your granddaughter 😉. I myself recently did my DNA. I'm the 15th granddaughter of these two. These stories are so interesting.
Thanks Cousin! I love Kansas - we can be proud of our heritage and ancestry for sure! Even the ones that are less than stellar (I just found out I have convicted witches from the Salem Witch Trials in my line!)
@@greglewis2266 my moms mom blair family .of scottland .mary Blair. Yes my relatives have the broom stick marker in corner of headstone . I think the queen ordered all witches..supposed witches per the queen. To have these markers put on their graves. She ordered all the witches to be killed . That they black magic . People believed it.since some Scottish will make medicines and creams and stuff out of plants and stuff. U know homemade meds etc. They were just more wducated u guess so the others believed they were making spells which confirmed witches so they killed them. Also she ordered all first born bots to be killed . And she also sent out a search party to find the holy grail.and to find all templars and dont come back until they all dead. They lied and told the queen they killed them all. .. She must of been worried about the blood lines and wanted to secure her own blood line so to stay queen. Lies deceipt.murder.incests. What a family aye.
Greg lewis...i too am am a descendant of of thr hopkins family that were on the mayflower. My grandfather took me to plymouth to see the pilgram reinactment on how they lived.people volunteer to live back in the day. Plymouth rock was a disappointment. It sure isnt very big.

I guess I’m a little late to the party but just recently discovered they are my 18th great grandparents, among many others in the comments. I’m a descendant of their daughter, Joan Stewart, the mute Lady of Dalkeith. She was the Countess of Morton, and I’ve got the the longer second toes compared to my big toe, which is known as Morton’s foot. They say it’s a sign of royalty. What a funny coincidence! Cheers cousin! :)
i've gone back in the stewart line to flaald fitzflaald. back to charlemagne, rollo the viking, the capetian dynasty and kenneth mcalpin. cheers cousins from canada.
Hello not sure yet about this side of family tree but from what i understand is i am related to this line on my Mothers line as well as i am related to direct line of the outlaw king on my Fathers side! Love the story of about the Rose!!! Hello there Lady Olivia
I descend from these guys from Major Thomas Weir the infamous wizard of Edinburgh, weird history but his great granddaughter is my grandpa's great grandma.
I am a grandson of Queen Joan Beaufort and Sir James Steward, The Black Knight of Lorn. I am also a grandson of their child, John Steward, 1st Earl of Atholl. Interesting!
Hello My name is Patricia Dauphinee and my maiden name was Fox. I 'm also related to the Hopkin Warren and Dymoke Lines. Your work on TH-cam is so enjoyable to me because you have my nose and ears. Passed down to me from my Dad. My Son Jon also has the Ears and nose.
Happy Thanksgiving! Very interesting video. I live in England and have been making a family tree of all of the connections of Queen Elizabeth II. I've got over 2,000 so far and was recently doing some research on the Beaufort family. As you are a descendent of Joan Beaufort then you are also a cousin of President Trump, who is descended from Joan Beaufort and her second husband James Stewart, the Black Knight of Lorn . I am still looking for my connection to a royal line.
Very cool, and nice to meet you cousin! If you want some additional information on Joan - check out - www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/M72D-PDF
The Queen and Sir James the Black Knight are my ××teenth great grandparents. Interesting when the are both named James Stewart, in figuring where that son came from.
My fathers mother was a Ryan and her 2nd GGF George John Ryan born 1803 in the County of Wexford, Ireland married one Catherine Mary McKinley born 1801 in Donegore, County Antrium, Ireland and it is through her fathers line John McKinley born 3 APRIL 1780 • Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland which her line Ascends to both James 1 and Lady Joan Beaufort.
Thanks Michael! I had a chance to visit Wexford last year, as I have some Irish ancestors in my line. It was an amazing time! Loved everything about it - except driving on the wrong side of the road on busy Dublin streets!
You will find that your Campbell lines maybe connected to my MacFarlane. Just click on Ancestors on this family tree; www.clanmacfarlanegenealogy.info/genealogy/TNGWebsite/getperson.php?personID=I84768&tree=CC
so I may be a distant cousin you you Mr. Lewis as well as to all the commenters who are also directly related to these two people! family love to any cousins of mine near and far, distant and close! family first, family forever!
Interesting! We may be distant cousins. A second cousin of mine got some information from Ancesty that our family back to James 1 of Scotland as well. He hasn't fully researched it himself so this is not confirmed yet but if so, he would be my 17 times great grandfather. And I see a few comments below that there are other people here who have traced their family back to him too.
Where do people Joan Beaufort daughter of John Of Gaunt married to James the first? She was married to Ralph Neville, my Grandfather! Born 1375. Many people are getting her mixed up with a later Joan. I really wish people would read up on the facts before posting. I found 3 so far. The Joan that married James was born in 1404 - 1445. Her father was John Beaufort and Margaret Holland was her mother. Her father was not John Of Gaunt. TWO different women
A distant family member said though Mary Clarke I most likely has a royalty in my bloodline… This is what he wrote me: One thing you might be interested in: through that Beckford connection you are a direct descendant of King Edward III of England. The line runs through Mary Clarke, daughter of the lieutenant governor of New York, back through the Hyde, Brooke and Nevill families to Joan Beaufort, the daughter of John of Gaunt, son of Edward III.
Joan Beaufort, Queen of England is my 17th Great Grandparents! Thanks for sharing! I am enjoying doing my ancestry. I don't buy the love story between Joan and James. IMHO, that story was made up by some Scottish historian to make their hierarchy look more glamorous/like a fairy tale, but I don't believe it. Why? Because the Beaufort name was scandalized, so to speak based on her grandfather having children out of wedlock with his longtime mistress (Kathryn Swynford), who later became his 3rd wife. Kathryn(the misstress) gave birth to Joan's dad, John Beaufort. Joans granddad and his mistresses relationship may very well have been a true love story. Back in this time period, most marriages were arranged without any real 'love connection' taken into consideration. Everything back then was to 'marry up', so inho, she was most likely coerced OR decided to marry James I to regain their family notoriety, gain power and financial advancement. I think Joan's true love may have been with Sir James Stewart, (her 2nd husband) who was more of a protector, whom Joan married AFTER James I was assassinated. Who falls in love with a prisoner? Only someone who knows that the prisoner is a heir to the throne. I imagine her life was a living hell having to fear for her life at every corner while she was married to James I. Thanks for listening!
We have a connection :-) King James Stewart II of Scotland is my 16th great grandfather he also had a son, Alexander Stewart, Duke of Albany and his son Alexander Stewart, Bishop of Moray.
I was able to regress to my other life and I was the queen, I was able to feel the great love and the pain of death. That's why over time I began to find out which king had died in his bed. I know all the details and it's not like they say that he got up because he was sleeping he was stabbed face down in the bed I could see it our souls were lifted up but for some reason I came back when I found the story I read that she was saved because she was also stabbed by the back but first they made her see how they murdered her husband while they held her down. And the most curious thing is that the lady-in-waiting has the first and last name of my current mother. They loved each other very much, and under a tree he recited love poems to her. At first they saw each other secretly before they were married, he would jump over a wall to see her.
hi, i've traced our stewart line back to flaald fitzflaald, also back to kenneth mcalpin. my ancestors back to charlemagne, rollo the viking and the house of capet and many more. greetings from canada.
James I "The Black Knight" Stuart King of Scotland 1394-1437 BIRTH DECEMBER 1394 • Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland DEATH 21 FEB 1437 • Perth, Perth and Kinross, Scotland 11th great-grandfather Murdered at the Church of the Friar Preachers of the Blessed Virgin and Saint Dominic of Perth, Perthshire, 21 February 1437
Learning about your background lifts a bit of mystery about who your distant relatives and the ones that have been gone for a long time, it even answers questions of which people that are alive today, because they just might share a common relative. My Great Grandfather is George MacFarlane. And my relatives have been studying and researching the history and where it branches off. You might even be surprised to find out that I share the same relative Joan Beaufort. And to add James Stewart II King of Scotland is my 16th Great Grandfather on my father's side of the family. I'm posting a link to my family tree in hopes you can expand yours; www.clanmacfarlanegenealogy.info/genealogy/TNGWebsite/getperson.php?personID=I84768&tree=CC Just click on "Ancestors" and look for the orange arrows that show up at each name. And to make things interesting click on "Family" for more information.
Thanks for the link Cousin Rosa! And well said about understanding our ancestors.....best wishes as you continue your family research! Cousin Greg in Virginia
Hi. I have found that I am also 17th x great grandson of Joan Beaufort. Via Meitt menzies hunter who married a Sir patrick hunter. But struggling can we communicate with you ?
Hey there guys..I am also related to you all, as well. Not directly, but probably cousins. My 19th Great Grand Mother was also named Joan Beaufort, as well. Here is how we are connected. My 19th Great Grand Mother was the DAUGHTER OF John of Gaunt, and Katherine Swynford..So my Great Grandfather (JOHN OF GAUNT) was the son of King Edward lll, of England. Your Great Grandfather was the son of JOHN OF GAUNT, as well. So, your Joan Beaufort was the also the GREAT GRAND DAUGHTER of KING EDWARD lll....I have gone back to around 733 AD...Feel free to contact me if you would like any more info. I went to England and France in 2016, to do more research on the Ancestors. I am going on a 13 night cruise from Miami to England on April 21st. Got a great deal with Norwegian Cruiselines on the Jade..Last time I went, I flew and was so exhausted when I got there, I slept for close to 3 days, on a cruise too. That is why I am cruising there this time.. I will be plenty rested when I get there. Staying in London for 10 days, (at a very nice AIR-BNB, for around $70. a night.) Then heading to Scotland. If anyone is interested in going on the cruise, it is the NORWEGIAN "JADE", leaving April 21st, from Miami, and arriving in South Hampton on May 4th. Total price including Taxes and Port Charges was only $819..Still gotta pay the tips on the ship at $14 a day..Less than a hundred a day..Then flying back from London to San Francisco on NORWEGIAN AIRLINES (not part of the cruise lines) for only around $300. Depending on the day you choose when looking their rate month..If you can swing it, I wouldn't wait too long..I cannot wait..Judy Anstess (PS), I am in Sacramento, California now..Hope to hear from you guys..

She actually married my relative King James Stuart l “The Black Knight” King of Scotland. He’s my 19th great grandfather.

Hey my great grandparents were married and then buried in Canada Nova Scotia oak Island and I guess we are related to by the way oh Canada sweet
Also Joan Beaufort was King Edward III's daughter so we both are in the lineage of the Plantagenent line of Kings of England
great grand daughter. john of gaunt's son john beaufort was joan's father.
Congratuations, great history to have
Nice to meet you cousin! I'm a descendant of Joan and her second husband James The Black Stewart.
He's my 16th great grandfather he married my 16th great grandma queen Joan
The Queen and Sir James the Black Knight are my ××teenth great grandparents. Interesting when the are both named James Stewart, in figuring where that son came from.
My fathers mother was a Ryan and her 2nd GGF George John Ryan born 1803 in the County of Wexford, Ireland married one Catherine Mary McKinley born 1801 in Donegore, County Antrium, Ireland and it is through her fathers line John McKinley
born 3 APRIL 1780 • Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland which her line Ascends to both James 1 and Lady Joan Beaufort.
Michael Pelletier Hi cousin!
Hello I hope you are well amidst all these 21 Century wonders !
Thanks Michael! I had a chance to visit Wexford last year, as I have some Irish ancestors in my line. It was an amazing time! Loved everything about it - except driving on the wrong side of the road on busy Dublin streets!
my oldest sibling found out that james black knight lorn of stewart 1st earl of atholl is our 15th great grandfather
these are my 17th great grandparents from my granfather's campbell line
You will find that your Campbell lines maybe connected to my MacFarlane. Just click on Ancestors on this family tree; www.clanmacfarlanegenealogy.info/genealogy/TNGWebsite/getperson.php?personID=I84768&tree=CC
They are my 18th Great Grandparents. 😊
16th greats on my paternal side.
Virginia/Maryland
I am descended from Cardinal Henry Beaufort through his daughter who married a Stradling of St. Donat's Castle in Glamorgan Wales.
so I may be a distant cousin you you Mr. Lewis as well as to all the commenters who are also directly related to these two people!
family love to any cousins of mine near and far, distant and close! family first, family forever!
Cool! She is one of my ancestors.
Interesting! We may be distant cousins. A second cousin of mine got some information from Ancesty that our family back to James 1 of Scotland as well. He hasn't fully researched it himself so this is not confirmed yet but if so, he would be my 17 times great grandfather. And I see a few comments below that there are other people here who have traced their family back to him too.
I plan on recreating her coronation dress.
My tree led me here 😳
Me too!
There are millions of black descendents of her as well they just don’t wanna believe it
17th great grandson through their daughter annabelle
Where do people Joan Beaufort daughter of John Of Gaunt married to James the first? She was married to Ralph Neville, my Grandfather! Born 1375. Many people are getting her mixed up with a later Joan. I really wish people would read up on the facts before posting. I found 3 so far. The Joan that married James was born in 1404 - 1445. Her father was John Beaufort and Margaret Holland was her mother. Her father was not John Of Gaunt. TWO different women
A distant family member said though Mary Clarke I most likely has a royalty in my bloodline… This is what he wrote me: One thing you might be interested in: through that Beckford connection you are a direct descendant of King Edward III of England. The line runs through Mary Clarke, daughter of the lieutenant governor of New York, back through the Hyde, Brooke and Nevill families to Joan Beaufort, the daughter of John of Gaunt, son of Edward III.
My 8th GG grandparents through daughter Eleonor
I also can claim James the first as my ancestor. 18th for me
Howdy cousin! Thanks for sharing!
Joan Beaufort, Queen of England is my 17th Great Grandparents! Thanks for sharing! I am enjoying doing my ancestry. I don't buy the love story between Joan and James. IMHO, that story was made up by some Scottish historian to make their hierarchy look more glamorous/like a fairy tale, but I don't believe it. Why? Because the Beaufort name was scandalized, so to speak based on her grandfather having children out of wedlock with his longtime mistress (Kathryn Swynford), who later became his 3rd wife. Kathryn(the misstress) gave birth to Joan's dad, John Beaufort. Joans granddad and his mistresses relationship may very well have been a true love story. Back in this time period, most marriages were arranged without any real 'love connection' taken into consideration. Everything back then was to 'marry up', so inho, she was most likely coerced OR decided to marry James I to regain their family notoriety, gain power and financial advancement. I think Joan's true love may have been with Sir James Stewart, (her 2nd husband) who was more of a protector, whom Joan married AFTER James I was assassinated. Who falls in love with a prisoner? Only someone who knows that the prisoner is a heir to the throne. I imagine her life was a living hell having to fear for her life at every corner while she was married to James I. Thanks for listening!
the new book on the beauforts
by nathen amin....
is worth checking out...
King James 1 is supposedly my 1st cousin 19x removed since his uncle, Robert Duke of Albany is my 18th great-grandfather through marriage.
We have a connection :-) King James Stewart II of Scotland is my 16th great grandfather he also had a son, Alexander Stewart, Duke of Albany and his son Alexander Stewart, Bishop of Moray.
I was able to regress to my other life and I was the queen, I was able to feel the great love and the pain of death. That's why over time I began to find out which king had died in his bed. I know all the details and it's not like they say that he got up because he was sleeping he was stabbed face down in the bed I could see it our souls were lifted up but for some reason I came back when I found the story I read that she was saved because she was also stabbed by the back but first they made her see how they murdered her husband while they held her down. And the most curious thing is that the lady-in-waiting has the first and last name of my current mother. They loved each other very much, and under a tree he recited love poems to her. At first they saw each other secretly before they were married, he would jump over a wall to see her.
and my family comes from that branch
me too.

Cousin Steve! Welcome to the family! He left quite a legacy!
Learning about your background lifts a bit of mystery about who your distant relatives and the ones that have been gone for a long time, it even answers questions of which people that are alive today, because they just might share a common relative. My Great Grandfather is George MacFarlane. And my relatives have been studying and researching the history and where it branches off. You might even be surprised to find out that I share the same relative Joan Beaufort. And to add James Stewart II King of Scotland is my 16th Great Grandfather on my father's side of the family. I'm posting a link to my family tree in hopes you can expand yours; www.clanmacfarlanegenealogy.info/genealogy/TNGWebsite/getperson.php?personID=I84768&tree=CC
Just click on "Ancestors" and look for the orange arrows that show up at each name. And to make things interesting click on "Family" for more information.
Thanks for the link Cousin Rosa! And well said about understanding our ancestors.....best wishes as you continue your family research! Cousin Greg in Virginia
I am descended from Joan as well
Hi Cousin! Nice to meet you!
Is your genealogy published ? If so could I see it ?
Hi. I have found that I am also 17th x great grandson of Joan Beaufort. Via Meitt menzies hunter who married a Sir patrick hunter. But struggling can we communicate with you ?
Hey there guys..I am also related to you all, as well. Not directly, but probably cousins. My 19th Great Grand Mother was also named Joan Beaufort, as well. Here is how we are connected. My 19th Great Grand Mother was the DAUGHTER OF John of Gaunt, and Katherine Swynford..So my Great Grandfather (JOHN OF GAUNT) was the son of King Edward lll, of England. Your Great Grandfather was the son of JOHN OF GAUNT, as well. So, your Joan Beaufort was the also the GREAT GRAND DAUGHTER of KING EDWARD lll....I have gone back to around 733 AD...Feel free to contact me if you would like any more info. I went to England and France in 2016, to do more research on the Ancestors. I am going on a 13 night cruise from Miami to England on April 21st. Got a great deal with Norwegian Cruiselines on the Jade..Last time I went, I flew and was so exhausted when I got there, I slept for close to 3 days, on a cruise too. That is why I am cruising there this time.. I will be plenty rested when I get there. Staying in London for 10 days, (at a very nice AIR-BNB, for around $70. a night.) Then heading to Scotland. If anyone is interested in going on the cruise, it is the NORWEGIAN "JADE", leaving April 21st, from Miami, and arriving in South Hampton on May 4th. Total price including Taxes and Port Charges was only $819..Still gotta pay the tips on the ship at $14 a day..Less than a hundred a day..Then flying back from London to San Francisco on NORWEGIAN AIRLINES (not part of the cruise lines) for only around $300. Depending on the day you choose when looking their rate month..If you can swing it, I wouldn't wait too long..I cannot wait..Judy Anstess (PS), I am in Sacramento, California now..Hope to hear from you guys..
Thanks Cousin Judy! Hope you had a great trip! Able to dig up any new details on your past while there?
