| 984 | The family connection with the De la Mere family and Brockwell Yscitheor is proven by our family coat-of-Arms. Example: In the lower section of our family coat-of-Arms is 3 wolf heads erased, Silver in color with the background of the shield in sable (black). This was the Coat-of-Arms of Brockwell Yscitheor, the Prince of Powys. Because of the "exacting" rules governing heraldry we know that the lower portion of a shield "in Chief" as it is called is an indication that the wives family coat-of-arms is ALWAYS in the lower 2/3's of the shield. Thus Guilliumus Prater married a female descendant, of direct au session, of Brockwell Yscitheor! A daughter, granddaughter or great granddaughter. Brockwell Yscitheor was named after one of his anscestors who was also a Prince of Powys. He was called Brockfiel (Brockwell) Yscythrog and he died in 662 A.D. His name Yscythrog is old welch galic, and means "Of The Tusk" because he wore a helmet with Horns. Horns were called tusk in those days. He is best recorded in history for his acts against the church in Rome and in favor of the Christian Church of Wales and his attemps to save St. Davids Cathedral which is located on the tip of South West Wales. The Old Monastery stands today, with tombs that date back to the 10 Century. The Catholic Church of Rome sent a Cadinal with his large number of attendants monks, soldiers of the Pope to England to investagate the rumer of a great Christian church of Wales and to bring it under the control of the Roman Chatholic Church of Rome. The Church in Wales was also a variation of the Catholic Church but refused to subjugate themselves to the laws and practices of Roman Church. The Roman Cardinal, angry, left and traveled with his group to North Wales where he asked for support from the King of North Wales. Rough map of area The King was more than willing to help him, because he had been feuding with the Kings of the Southern Welch territories and Brockfeil in particular. This King took his army to South Wales to subjugate the church of St.David. Brockfeil herd of their coming and met them with his army. Also joining him were 100 monks from St. Davids, who stayed in the rear to pray for his success. Brockfeil was out numbered 10 to one. The King of North Wales attacked Brockfeil and killed all except Brockfeil and about 100 of his men. The Kings army even killed the 100 monks as they nelt in prayer. The King then went to St. Davids and burned the Monastery. What is so tragic about this is the fact that hundreds of years of records about the noblity and history of Wales were in its library. Upon hearing what had happened, the other Kings of South Wales came to the aid of Brockfeil and defeated the King of North Wales, but it was to late to save the Old Monastery of St. Davids. As a result of Brockfeils efforts he became known as the "Savior of Wales and Chosen of God". These events happen in 583 A.D., Brockfeil was a very young man when these events took place, he died in 662 A.D. Brockwell Yscitheor, Prince of Powys living in 1085 was descended from the brother of Brockfeil Yscythrog. The spelling of Yscitheor was a more modern Welch galic variation of the spelling Yscythrog. (Ho is ther rog) | Yscitheor, Prince of Powys Brockwell (I7419)

| 986 | The father of Judith Ivye was Thomas Anthony Ivye of West Kingston, Wilts. His wife was a Delamere (the keeper of the King's Forest in Wiltshire). Thomas Ivye (Ivrye) was the son of Richard Ivye of Sodbury, Gloucester, and Isabell Canning. Thomas Ivye was also married to Elizabeth Mallet who descended from Sir William Mallet. Thomas Ivye had a brother George who was the heir of West Kingston and Knited by King James I as Sir George Ivie of West Kingston. This Ivye (Ivie/Ivrye) fam ily was descended from Sir Rodger D'Ivry, a very powerful Lord in Wales and England in earlier times. | Ivye, Sir Thomas Anthony (I713)

| 987 | The father of St. Cunegundes was Sigfrid, first Count of Luxemburg. After a pious education, she was married to St. Henry, Duke of Bavaria, who, upon the death of Emperor Otho III, was chosen King of the Romans. St. Cunegundes was crowned at Pad erborn in 1002. In 1014 she went with her husband to Rome and became Empress, receiving together with him the imperial crown from the hands Pope Benedict VIII. Though married, she lived in continence, for, with her husband's consent, she had mad e a vow of virginity before marriage. Calumniators accused her of scandalous conduct, but her innocence was signally vindicated by Divine Providence, as she walked over pieces of flaming irons without injury, to the great joy of the Emperor. He r husband, Henry II, died in 1024, leaving his widow comparatively poor, for she had given away nearly all her wealth in charitable works. In 1025, on the anniversary of his death, and on the occasion of the dedication of a monastery which she h ad built for Benedictine nuns at Kaffungen, she clothed herself with a poor habit, adopted the veil, which she received from the hands of the Bishop, and entered that same monastery. Her occupations consisted in prayer, reading, and manual labor , and thus she spent the last fifteen years of her life. She died in 1040, and her body was carried to Bamberg, where it was laid near that of her husband, St. Henry. | St. Cunegundes of Luxemburg (I2190)

| 991 | The historical Fulk, or Fulk III FitzWarin, was a Marcher Lord who rebelled against King John from 1200 to 1203 over his familial right to the estate of Whittington. After his death he was the subject of an "ancestral romance", Fouke le Fitz Waryn, which contains a highly embellished account of his life and family history. The bulk of the narrative is concerned with his period as an outlaw, which has various similarities to the later legends of Robin Hood. The family had long been struggling to retain the manor of Whittington, of which the crown had deprived them. After his father's death in 1197 Fulk III paid a fine of | Fitz Warin, Lord Fulk III (I4356)

The young William was to grow up and become one of the most well known figures in history, as the elder churchman who sailed to America aboard the Mayflower and led The Pilgrim Fathers in their journey from Leyden in Holland to Plymouth in New England. William Brewster died 10 April 1644, in the colony he helped to build in Plymouth. | Smythe, Mary (I4023)
