Joanna Fitz Roy, daughter of King John of England and wife of Llywellen
fawr was the daughter of
Christiana D Arcy. After having found his daughter pregnant by someone
he loathed D Arcy rented a
cottage on William de Farriers land for her up keep. Chrisitana died
when Joanna was 5. The D Arcy
didn t want the spawn of the devil (D Arcy family diary 1250ad), so de
Farriers sent the child to John in
France. At the age of 15 she was married to Llywellen ap Iorweth. The
de Broase family was very well
know to Joanna as both of her children married de Broase and her brother
Richard fitz Roy was the son of a
deBroase.
