Hello John,

Can you schetch the descent from Harold II Godwinson to Isabel of
Aragon. I can't remember having seen that before, though I have not
not allways been around to read every contribution. I thought that
Harold had sons who went to Norway in exile after 1066 and who may or
may not have had offspring.

With regards,
Hans Vogels
