  • Notes 
    • Genealogist Martin Hollick has pointed out that the marriage of Edward III and Philippa of Hainault marks the point at which descent from William the Conqueror was united with descent from Harold Godwinson, who lost to William at Hastings in 1066:

      Harold II Godwinson, King of England (~1022-1066) = Ealdgyth of Mercia (d. >1066)
      Gytha of Wessex = Vladimir II Monomakh, Grand Prince of Kiev (1053-1125)
      Mstislav I, Grand Prince of Kiev (1076-1132) = Ljubawa Dimitriewna Sawiditsch (d. 1167)
      Euphrosine of Kiev (~1130-1186) = Geisa II, King of Hungary, Croatia, Dalmatia, and Rama (1130-1161)
      Béla III, King of Hungary, Croatia, Dalmatia, and Rama (~1148-1196) = Anna de Châtillon (1154-1184)
      András II, King of Hungary (1176-1235) = Yolanda of Courtenay (~1200-1233)
      Violant of Hungary (d. 1251) = James I, King of Aragón (1208-1276)
      Isabella of Aragón (d. 1271) = Philippe III, King of France (1245-1285)
      Charles of France (1270-1325) = Margaret of Anjou (1272-1299)
      Jeanne de Valois (~1294-1342) = William III of Hainault) (~1286-1337)
      Philippa of Hainault (~1314-1359)
