Subject: Helen, Daughter of Llywelyn, Wife of Donald-Count of Mar
Date: Tue, 2 Apr 1996 00:16:06 GMT


This is addressed to Mr. Reitwiesner, but if ANYONE has information, I'd love
to hear
from you!!!

Mr. Reitwiesner, Todd told me in an email that you wrote an article once on the
children of Llywelyn Ap Iowerth. Burke's Peerage, when talking about the Earls
of
Mar, says Donald of Mar was married to Helen, widow of the Earl of Fife and
daughter
of Llywelyn, the Prince of North Wales. Todd helped me narrow this down to
Llywelyn
Ap Iowerth, and that he had two daughters named Helen/Elen. The question I
have now is: Who was the Helen who married Donald of Mar's mother? Was it
Joan of
England? or the Welsh princess he was previously married to?

All help would be appreciated!

Thanks & Happy Hunting, Tami Neff in Charleston SC area
