>Who can provide the ancestors of Queen Elizabeth Woodville, wife of King
Edward IV of England ?

relation to the well known
>House of Luxenburg ?

1. Jacquetta, b. abt 1415, d. 30 May 1472 md. (1) John Plantagenet, Duke of
Bedford (22 Apr 1433 at Therouenne); (2) Sir Richard Widville, 1st Earl
Rivers (in 1436, before 23 Mar).

2. Peter of Luxembourg, Count of St. Pol, b. 1390, d. 31 Aug 1433, md. 8
May 1405.
3. Margaret de Baux, b. 1394, d. 15 Nov 1469, bur. Cercamp, Artois, France.

4. Jean de Luxembourg, Count of Brienne, b. 1370, d. 2 Jul 1397 in Italy,
md. abt 1380.
5. Marguerite d'Enghien, w.d. 19 Sep 1393, married 3 times: (1) Pierre des
Baux; (2) Jacopo Sanseverino; (3) Jean de Luxembourg.
6. Francois de Baux, Duke d'Andria, b. 1329/30, d. (will dated 23 Apr
1422), bur. Church of Andria, Apulia, Italy, married 3 times: (1) Luisa
Sanseverino in 1350; (2) Marguerite d'Anjou-Sicily in 1352; (3) Justine
(Sueva) des Ursins in 1381.
7. Justine (Sueva) des Ursins, d. aft 1422.

8. Guy de Luxembourg, Count of Ligny, d. 22 Aug 1371 at the Battle of
Baesweider, married in 1354.
9. Maude de Chatillon, d. 1378.
10. Louis d'Enghien, Comte de Brienne and Conversano, b. at Brienne in the
Champagne and died 17 Mar 1394 at Conversano, Apulia, Italy.
11. Jeanne de St. Severino.
12. Bertrand II de Baux, Duke d'Andria, Senator of Rome, d. 1347, between
15 Sep-31 October at Naples, Italy, buried at the Church of San Domenico,
Naples, married twice: (1) Beatrix of Anjou-Sicily (before 24 Jan 1309);
(2) Marguerite d'Aulnay in 1321.
13. Marguerite d'Aulnay, d. aft 1334. There is considerable controversy
about her ancestry. Some say she is daughter of Vilain II d'Aulnay, Baron
Arkadia. I just don't know for sure.
14. Nicholas de Ursins, Count of Nola, Senotor of Rome, b. 27 Aug 1331,
w.d. 14 Feb 1399, married twice: (1) Jeanne de Sabran about 1332 in Naples;
(2) unknown to me.
15. Jeanne de Sabran, d. abt 1378.

The rest of this ancestry is pretty straight forward. If you need more
generation, I could send them in an ahnentafel format or in a GEDCOM.

Hope this helps.
