Notes

 

Prince Charles is descended from 6 and 7 (see Paget).

 

The birth of 4 is sometimes given as May 1601, and such a person was apparently baptised at St. Michael Bassishaw, London, on 28 May 1601, but according to David Lloyd, Memoires of the Lives, Actions, Sufferings & Deaths of those Noble, Reverend and Excellent Personages... (1668), 186, Spencer, Earl of Northampton, was “born at Compton in Warwickshire, the very same day and hour that the Powder Traytors were defeated at Dun-church in that County”.
