Royal Descents of Judith Ivye Wife of Anthony Prater

This is a significant addition to the literature of royal and noble genealogy. Author Thomas Benjamin Hertzel establishes conclusively that Judith Ivye (b. 1550 d. Feb. 6 1578) wife of Anthony Prater and daughter of Thomas Ivye and his second wife Elizabeth Malet descends through her mother's line from many of the noble houses of medieval Europe. (Both of Elizabeth Malet's parents Hugh Malet and Isabel Mitchell were of royal ancestry.) Judith Ivye died in Wiltshire England in 1578 survived by her husband and five of her seven children. She was descended from many of the most famous persons of the Middle Ages living in England and Europe including William the Conqueror through more than one line; Henry I King of France; Lothair I King of Italy; Henry the Fowler King of the Germans; Charles Martel; and hundreds more. In fact Mr. Hertzel identifies 155 separate and distinct lines of descent.
