Biography

There's some contradiction here. Alison Weir states that Euphemia might have been the legitimate daughter of Matilda of Scotland, and Henry I of England. She adds that this is probably:

"the child born in late July or early August, 1101, at Winchester, who died young."[1]

On the other hand, a previous WikiTree source has related some information from the Medlands Project posted at fmg.ac. It says she's an illegitimate daughter of Henry I.

The Latin quote from Medlands is as follows:

"Guillaume de Jumièges records one illegitimate daughter of King Henry I as wife of "Willelmo Goieto". m GUILLAUME [III] Goët de Montmirail, son of GUILLAUME [II] Goët Seigneur de Montmirail et de Château-du-Loir & his wife Eustachie -- (before 1080). He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Montmirail."[2]

Although the above is correct for what it says, it's been misinterpreted.[3] Eustachie or Eustacia is actually "Mabel" ... the illegitimate daughter who married William Gouet III, Lord of Montmirail.[1]

I think if we are going down the disproven route then there is less concern about the LNAB.

Perhaps we should wait to detach her in case someone objects or in the unlikely event comes up with some evidence.

It seems likely that this person may never have existed

Thanks Lois, I agree that she probably never existed. I have a few things on this week but next week I'll update the profile and start the disproven process.

Good. I wonder about that LNAB, too.

I'm thinking I'll detach her from Henry, unless you'd rather I wait on that.
