I'm a quarter Scots, and an eighth Irish, as well as the various European bits from 700 years or so back.* Anything along these lines will probably leave me in several peices.
*I am descended from the Plataganets, (and the Stanleys) through I think my great-grandmother, though it might have been my great-great. Either way, the French blood is there. And possibly Spanish. This is going to get messy...
I know, I know, I beat my breast in shame, and am a terrible Ricardian!
Hardly a Plantaganet. I'm far more Irish/Scots than I am Plantaganet, and I'm those hardly at all. I'm Devil's Daughter-lite.
(Oh, that's why that side of the family were Unitarian/Methodist/Quaker, when they went into anything more High Anglican, they started levitating, and turning into snakes!)
The Irish great-grandmother was called Rosetta. Family legend says it was for the stone, but I suppose it could have been Spanish sailors...
We must just assume that we've got Roman blood, and take ourselves off to Rome to eat gelato and photoshop the memorial to Victor Emmanuel out of our photos.
Oh, hey....fancy doing "Englad for the English"? That way, all the English can bugger off to Germany and I can stay in Scotland without them bothering me. Although strictly speaking I'd end up somewhere in France anyway....

Admittedly, I'm not sure where we could send m31andy. She doesn't have gills, and I think the underwater family have disowned her branch...

(I'm a sixteenth Welsh - does this mean I've got to send one breast back to Monmouthshire?)

You have terrible taste in wives. And no sense of loyalty.
And if you're a Plantagenet, that means you're a descendant of Melusine, and thus the Devil's Daughter multiple generations removed. YAY!

I am just hoping my forest of arden bits are really old. I'd happily go to Scandinavia if they'd have me, but I fear they won't.
