I'm not understanding this. Are there two Beatrix's here?
You say Ethelred was first husband of Beatrix and then Ribald was the next
husband. But then you are also talking about Beatrix as wife to Ketel. Can
you clarify this?



Dear Will,

Beatrix Taillebois was the daughter of Ivo Taillebois. She had two husbands
(1) Ethelred (2) Ribald of Middleham. Ketel is the son of Ethelred and we
are questioning whether the chronology allows that Ethelred's wife Beatrix
Taillebois was Ketel's mother. It is too tight a timeline to actually permit
Beatrix to be Ketel's mother unless she gave birth to him at 13 or 14 which is
the point I was trying to make.

I hope this clarifies this.

Best regards,
MichaelAnne
