; per Sjostrom: [quote] A couple months ago I observed that GORGES, Helena
(nee Snakenborg) has her own entry in the newest issue
of the vol 22 of Oxford Dictionary of National
Biography.
It would be nice if someone could scan and post that
little biography in electric form. I have a
recollection that there was some things basically
wrong with the article's claims about her medieval
ancestries, but I cannot recall exactly what it read.
However, were I to see it again, I would check it
against my materials about Scandinavian medieval
genealogies, and, no doubt, give a piece of mind.



Helena Ulfsdotter Snakenborg, Marchioness of
Northampton (1549-d 10 April 1635) [ODNB XXII pp 994..995], married firstly William Parr, 1st Marquess
of Northampton, d 1571, married secondly privy
councillor and knight Thomas Gorges, of Langford
(founder of Longford Castle in Wiltshire) (1536-d 30
March 1610). Children of the second marriage:

1 Elizabeth Gorges (1578-1659) [ODNB XXII p 994],
married firstly sir Hugh Smyth, of Ashton, d 1627,
married secondly sir Ferdinando Gorges, of Maine
(c1565-1647)

2 Francis Gorges (bc 1579, predeceased father, c
1599) [ODNB XXII p 994]

3 Frances Gorges (1580-1649) [ODNB XXII p 994],
married sir Thomas Tyringham, of Tyringham (c
1580-c1637)

4 sir Edward Gorges, baronet of Langford, 1st baron
of Dundalk (c1582-c1652) [ODNB XXII p 994]

5 sir Theobald Gorges, of Ashley (1583-1648) [ODNB XXII p 994]

6 Bridget Gorges (1584-c1634) [ODNB XXII p 994],
married sir Robert Phelipes, of Montacute (1586-1638)

7 sir Robert Gorges, of Redlynch (1588-1648) [ODNB XXII p 994]

8 sir Thomas Gorges (1589- d after 1624) [ODNB XXII p 994]

According to ODNB, IIRC at the time of Helena, she had
nearly a hundred her own descendants alive.
(It would be a funny statistical exercise to estimate
how big a portion of the current population of the
British Isles descend from her, there having been
almost four centuries between her death and the
present day.)

Helena's second husband, sir Thomas Gorges, of
Langford (1536-d 30 March 1610), a privy councillor of
Elizabeth I, appears to have been one of younger sons
of sir Edward Gorges (of ? Wraxall, Somerset), c1482 -
c1565, who himself was maternal grandson of sir John
Howard, 1st duke of Norfolk.
I have no reason to doubt the historicity of this
lineage, but I have not checked its veracity, only
read some very general British genealogy about the
matter.

This made sir Thomas Gorges a fairly close kinsman of
his liege lady, queen Elizabeth I; namely the queen
was sir Thomas' second cousin once removed (Anne
Boleyn was his exact second cousin). [end quote]²

     Sir Henry Seymour Knt., of Marvel and Twyford, Hampshire married Barbara Wolfe, daughter of Morgan Wolfe Esq. and Gwenllian de Barry,
