We still have not answered the question of where the "Plantagenets" start from?

The possibilities seem to be:

1. The French ancestors from whom the Plantagenet "clan" is descended?

2. The Duke of York, G-Grandson of Ed III, who was the first to take the
surname of Plantagenet.

3. Edward, Earl of Warwick, the last male Plantagenet.

4. Margaret, Countess of Salisbury, the last born a Planagenet to die.

What is the choice?
