    This is way cool!!! I'm a Baynard and Ralph Baynard was a Norman Conquerer and very close to William the Conquerer. In England, Ralph Baynard was a Baron and he built the Baynard Castle. The Baynard Castle has a lot of history. It burned down in 1666.
    I love this history! This Castle that she is visiting is amazing. I am so glad that it still stands.

    It's mind blowing thinking that just one brick in the castle is older than America.

      Edward II lived 720 years ago.
      24 generations.
      You'd have 7 million forebears alive then and the whole population was only 5 million.
      1300 is the common ancestor point.
      We are all related.

    Courteney asks good questions. She descended from the man who killed the king, but don't forget she also descended from hundreds of thousands of other people alive at the time: the man who fed his horse, the woman who washed his underwear... The number of her 18 x great grandparents should be 2 to the 20th, or 1,048,576. (It's less because we're all cousins.)

      Middle english is a challenge. But if Courteney Cox has a culture and intelligence above average she could probably do it, except a word or two, like here.
