* Henry Felch was probably descended from David Prince, of North Wales, and Mary, his wife, who was the granddaughter of Henry I of England, daughter of Geof- frey Fulk, Count of Anjou, and sister of Henry II of England. Geoffrey Fulk, the son of Fulk, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, wore in his bonnet a sprig of broom (plantagenistæ), hence the name Plantagenet borne by England's sovereigns for more than three hundred years.
