♂Henry of France
Dates not yet known.
Henry of FranceW was the father of Hugh of Vermandois. He was the twenty-seventh great-grandfather of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006) through his son Hugh, and her twenty-eighth great-grandfather by a second line through Hugh, so by two separate lines of descent.
He is said to have been King of France. His son Hugh became Count of Vermandois, and Hugh’s daughter Isabel of Vermandois married William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey. Through their daughter Ada de Warenne the line reaches the Bohun family and, in time, the Washburns.
Lines of descent
Both lines run through Hugh of Vermandois and his daughter Isabel. They meet again in Alice de Bohun, whose parents Humphrey de Bohun and Maud of Eu both descend from Henry.
Notes
