Not necessarily interesting to everyone, I have found several
interesting descendants of Edmund of York and Isabella of Castile,
and hence from Chico's reconstruction, descended from Abunazar
Lovesendes. All of these listed are illegitimate descendants of
Edmund and Isabella's daughter, Constance of York and her lover. Sir
Edmund Holand:
1. Several American families including the Owsley family from which
my wife is descended.
2. Actor Peter Lawford, one time brother-in-law of US President John
Kennedy.
3. Diana, Pricess of Wales (at least two descents)
4. Sir Winston Churchill (at least two descents)

Charles, Prince of Wales, was in the above list at one time. However,
Faris 2d Edition, 383, shows the candidate connecting ancestor,
Edward Brooke, 6th Lord Cobham, as son of Margaret Roos, 2d wife of
James Tuchet, 5th Lord Audley. Faris, 1st Edition, 270, and others
had shown Edward Brooke's mother as 1st wife, Alianor Holand
(daughter of Constance of York.)
