Royal and Magna Carta Connections

William is related to William the Conqueror

William is a descendant of William the Conqueror and of Alice de Normandy, King William's sister.^[2]

Descendant of Roger and Hugh le Bigod (see this trail, from his paternal grandfather).

Descendant of Henry de Bohun and ancestor of John Fisher.

He is a descendant of Magna Carta surety barons Henry de Bohun (through his paternal grandmother, Alice de Toeni) and of the Bigods, through both of his parents.^[1][11]

Until recently, this profile had been managed by the Magna Carta Project, pending review/approval of the trail from Henry de Bohun to Gateway Ancestor John Fisher (through his father, Thomas) that had been developed in 2015. In March 2022, the project removed itself as manager from profiles in pending Fisher trails that were not already in a badged trail.^[12]

In addition to John Fisher, William's descendants include the Gateway Ancestors Robert Abell, Elizabeth Alsop, Grace Chetwode, St. Leger Codd, Edward Digges, Warham Horsmanden, Anne Humphrey (of MA), Thomas Lunsford, Anne Mauleverer, John Oxenbridge, Herbert Pelham, Thomas Rudyard, Katherine Saint Leger, Mary Johanna Somerset, and John West.^[11][13]

However, since the Gateway Ancestor Fisher already has several badged trails, the project removed itself as manager on 19 March 2022 of this profile and several others on the pending trail that ran from Fisher to Bohun through William (the goal of the project is to have one badged trail for each Gateway Ancestor). See Fisher Trails. See Base Camp for more information about Magna Carta trails. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms.
