65 Dyfnwal Hen or Dumnagual Hen ("Dyfnwal the Old") was a ruler of the Brittonic kingdom of Alt Clut, later known as Strathclyde, probably sometime in the early 6th century. His biography is vague, but he was regarded as an important ancestor figure for several kingly lines in the Hen Ogledd or "Old North" of Britain. As an ancestor figure, he compares to Coel Hen, another obscure figure credited with founding a number of northern dynasties.

According to the Harleian genealogies, Dyfnwal was the son of a Cinuit, the son of Ceretic Guletic, probably his predecessors as king. The Harleian genealogies name three of his sons, each of whom formed a kingly line: Clinoch, Dyfnwal's successor as king of Alt Clut; Guipno (NB this is NOT the same name as "Gwyddno"), who fathered the later king Neithon; and Cynfelyn, a king of Eidyn or Edinburgh. The Bonedd Gwŷr y Gogledd, a later genealogy of northern kings, gives a modified version of Dyfnwal's family tree. Here, he is the son of Idnyued and the grandson of Maxen Wledig, better known as the Roman usurper Magnus Maximus. The Bonedd follows the Harleian in making Dyfnwal the great-grandfather of Rhydderch Hael, a later king of Alt Clut, but his other descendants are altered significantly. A Gwyddno is included, but he listed as Dyfnwal's great-grandson rather than son, and he is specifically identified as Gwyddno Garanhir of the Taliesin legend. A highly confused track makes Dyfnwal the ancestor to the family of Áedán mac Gabráin, a 6th-century ruler of the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata.

77 Fergus of Galloway was the ruler of the Kingdom of Galloway. Galloway is located in the southwest of Scotland. Galloway was a combination of Irish, Scottish, Scandinavian and English. Fergus was called variously: King of Galloway, Lord of Galloway, Prince of Galloway, and Princeps of Galloway. At the end of his reign, Galloway was absorbed into Scotland. His sons continued to rule their sections of Galloway but were sub-lords under the King of Scotland.

The parentage of Fergus is not known, it is believed that he was of Norse-Gaelic ancestry and that his family was the most powerful in the region.

Fergus married an illegitimate daughter of Henry I, King of England, Elizabeth Fitzroy (also known as Elizabeth FitzHenry). Fergus and Elizabeth had 3 children:
- Affraic, only known daughter, married Olaf the Red (Olaf Gofredson/Olaf Gofradsson)

- Uchtred, joint ruler of Galloway from 1161 to 1174 with his brother; murdered in 1174

- Gilla Brigte, joint ruler of Galloway from 1161 to 1174, then sole ruler until his death in 1185; responsible for the death of his brother Uchtred.

Throughout Fergus' rule, he formed alliances and balanced control of his region between England and Scotland. Fergus' marriage to a daughter of King Henry of England was part of this balancing act, as was the marriage of his daughter Affraic to Olaf the Red. After King Henry's death, Galloway's position became more precarious, with David of Scotland seeking to strengthen his hold on the entire region and in opposition to Stephen of Blois who took the throne of England after Henry. Malcolm IV came into power in Scotland in 1153, for a time his attention was focused on England but in 1160 he launched 3 military expeditions into Galloway. The Gallovidians mounted a strong resistance but by year's end, Galloway was under the control of Scotland.

Fergus and his family were all strong ecclesiastical patrons, working with the Augustinians and the Benedictines.

Fergus was forced to retire to Holyrood Abbey and become a monk. Malcolm IV took Fergus's son Uchtred as a royal hostage. Within a year, Fergus died at Holyrood on May 12, 1161. Galloway was split under the joint rulership of Fergus's two sons, Uchtred and Gille Brigte.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Fergus forged a marital alliance with Óláfr Guðrøðarson, King of the Isles through the marriage of the latter to Fergus' daughter, Affraic. As a consequence of this union, the leading branch of the Crovan dynasty descended from Fergus. When Óláfr was assassinated by a rival branch of the dynasty, Galloway itself was attacked before Fergus' grandson, Guðrøðr Óláfsson, was able to seize control of the Isles. Both Fergus and his grandson appear to have overseen military operations in Ireland, before the latter was overthrown by Somairle mac Gilla Brigte, Lord of Argyll. The fact that there is no record of Fergus lending Guðrøðr support against Somairle could be evidence of a slackening of Fergus' authority. Contemporary sources certainly report that Galloway was wracked by inter-dynastic strife during the decade.

Fergus' fall from power came in 1160, after Malcolm IV, King of Scotland settled a dispute amongst his leading magnates and launched three military campaigns into Galloway. The reasons for the Scottish invasion are unknown. On one hand, it is possible that Fergus had precipitated events by preying upon Scottish territories. In the aftermath of the attack, the king came to terms with Somairle which could be evidence that he had either been allied with Fergus against the Scots or that he had aided in Fergus' destruction. Whatever the case, Fergus himself was driven from power and forced to retire to the abbey of Holyrood. He died the next year. The Lordship of Galloway appears to have been partitioned between his sons, Gilla Brigte and Uhtred, and Scottish influence further penetrated into Galloway.

92 Henry I (c. 1068 – 1 December 1135), also known as Henry "Beauclerc", was King of England from 1100 to his death in 1135. He was the fourth son of William the Conqueror and was educated in Latin and the liberal arts. On William's death in 1087, Henry's elder brothers Robert Curthose and William Rufus inherited Normandy and England, respectively, but Henry was left landless. He purchased the County of Cotentin in western Normandy from Robert, but his brothers deposed him in 1091. He gradually rebuilt his power base in the Cotentin and allied himself with William against Robert.

Present at the place where his brother William died in a hunting accident in 1100, Henry seized the English throne, promising at his coronation to correct many of William's less popular policies. He married Matilda of Scotland and they had two children, William Adelin and Empress Matilda; he also had many illegitimate children by his many mistresses. Robert, who invaded in 1101, disputed Henry's control of England; this military campaign ended in a negotiated settlement that confirmed Henry as king. The peace was short-lived, and Henry invaded the Duchy of Normandy in 1105 and 1106, finally defeating Robert at the Battle of Tinchebray. Henry kept Robert imprisoned for the rest of his life. Henry's control of Normandy was challenged by Louis VI of France, Baldwin VII of Flanders and Fulk V of Anjou, who promoted the rival claims of Robert's son, William Clito, and supported a major rebellion in the Duchy between 1116 and 1119. Following Henry's victory at the Battle of Brémule, a favourable peace settlement was agreed with Louis in 1120.

Considered by contemporaries to be a harsh but effective ruler, Henry skillfully manipulated the barons in England and Normandy. In England, he drew on the existing Anglo-Saxon system of justice, local government and taxation, but also strengthened it with additional institutions, including the royal exchequer and itinerant justices. Normandy was also governed through a growing system of justices and an exchequer. Many of the officials who ran Henry's system were "new men" of obscure backgrounds, rather than from families of high status, who rose through the ranks as administrators. Henry encouraged ecclesiastical reform, but became embroiled in a serious dispute in 1101 with Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury, which was resolved through a compromise solution in 1105. He supported the Cluniac order and played a major role in the selection of the senior clergy in England and Normandy.

Henry's son William drowned in the White Ship disaster of 1120, throwing the royal succession into doubt. Henry took a second wife, Adeliza of Louvain, in the hope of having another son, but their marriage was childless. In response to this, he declared his daughter Matilda his heir and married her to Geoffrey of Anjou. The relationship between Henry and the couple became strained, and fighting broke out along the border with Anjou. Henry died on 1 December 1135 after a week of illness, possibly from food poisoning. Despite his plans for Matilda, the King was succeeded by his nephew Stephen of Blois, resulting in a period of civil war known as the Anarchy.
Family and children
Legitimate
King Henry is famed for holding the record for the largest number of acknowledged illegitimate children born to any English king, with the number being around 20 or 25. He had many mistresses, and identifying which mistress is the mother of which child is difficult. His illegitimate offspring for whom there is documentation are:

With Matilda (daughter of Malcolm III)

• Maitida married Geoffrey Comte d'Anjou
• William Ætheling Duke of Normandy

With Edith

• Matilda du Perche, married Count Rotrou II of Perche, perished in the wreck of the White Ship.
With Ansfride
• Ansfride was born c. 1070. She was the wife of Anskill of Seacourt, at Wytham in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire).
Juliane de Fontevrault, married Eustace de Pacy. She tried to shoot her father with a crossbow after King Henry allowed her two young daughters to be blinded.
• Fulk FitzRoy, a monk at Abingdon.
• Richard of Lincoln, perished in the wreck of the White Ship.

With Sybil Corbet

Lady Sybilla Corbet of Alcester was born in 1077 in Alcester in Warwickshire. She married Herbert FitzHerbert, son of Herbert 'the Chamberlain' of Winchester and Emma de Blois. She died after 1157 and was also known as Adela (or Lucia) Corbet. Sybil was definitely mother of Sybil and Rainald, possibly also of William and Rohese. Some sources suggest that there was another daughter by this relationship, Gundred, but it appears that she was thought as such because she was a sister of Reginald de Dunstanville but it appears that that was another person of that name who was not related to this family.

• Sybilla of England, married King Alexander I of Scotland.
• William Constable, born before 1105. Married Alice (Constable); died after 1187.
• Reginald de Dunstanville, 1st Earl of Cornwall.
• Gundred of England (1114 – 1146), married 1130 Henry de la Pomeroy, son of Joscelin de la Pomerai.

With Edith FitzForne

• Robert FitzEdith, Lord Okehampton, (1093 – 1172) married
Dame Maud d'Avranches du Sap.
• Adeliza FitzEdith. Appears in charters with her brother Robert.

With Princess Nest

Nest ferch Rhys was born about 1073 at Dynefwr Castle, Carmarthenshire, the daughter of Prince Rhys ap Tewdwr of Deheubarth and his wife, Gwladys ferch Rhywallon. She married, in 1095, to Gerald de Windsor (aka Geraldus FitzWalter) son of Walter FitzOther, Constable of Windsor Castle and Keeper of the Forests of Berkshire. She had several other liaisons - including one with Stephen of Cardigan, Constable of Cardigan (1136) - and subsequently other illegitimate children. The date of her death is unknown.

• Henry FitzRoy, died 1157.

With Isabel de Beaumont

Isabel (Elizabeth) de Beaumont (after 1102 – after 1172), daughter of Robert de Beaumont, sister of Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester. She married Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Pembroke, in 1130. She was also known as Isabella de Meulan.

• Isabel Hedwig of England, born circa 1078
• Matilda FitzRoy, abbess of Montvilliers, also known as Montpiller

With Geiva de Tracy:

• William de Tracy, died shortly after King Henry.

With de Caen Concubine

• Robert, 1st Earl of Gloucester. His mother may have been a member of the Gai/Gay/Gayt family.

Additional Children:

• Maud FitzRoy, married Conan III, Duke of Brittany
• Constance FitzRoy, married Richard de Beaumont
• Mabel FitzRoy, married William III Gouet
• Aline FitzRoy, married Matthieu I of Montmorency

It appears that Wilhelm Bucher b.1683 who died in Bern, Switzerland is related to the Nicholas Bucher line that emigrated from Bern, Switzerland to York County, Pennsylvania in the early 1700's. Wilhelm is the ancestor of Beat Bucher, who lives today in Bern, and after Beat joined our Bucher Y-DNA research project, we learned his Y-DNA test on 12 markers match 10 out of 12 markers to our three other American Buchers we tested who are descendants of the immigrant Nicholas Bucher line.

While 11 or 12 out of 12 is considered a recent match, not 10 out of 12, we believe when we compare 37 marker tests that will more precisely prove when these Buchers are related. Upgraded Y-DNA tests are at the lab now and we will get the answersat the end of May.

Nicholas and Wilhelm are from the same area in Canton Bern, so it's logical they are from the same ancestors. Although both were born about 1680, since there are at least two mutations in their DNA markers, we know they cannot be brothers, and weare more likely to learn they shared the same grandfather or great grandfather.

To date, our Bucher Y-DNA research has identified four related males in this particular line. Prior to testing, we didn't know any of the four were the same Bucher family:

Wilhelm Bucher b.1683 who died in Switzerland is in Beat Bucher's tree at:
http://www.lemas.ch/familie/karteiblatt107.html

Nicholas Bucher b.1670 who lived in York County, Pennsylvania is at:
http://www.Siteservers.net/family/tree/2935.htm

Adam Bucher b.1767 died lived in York/Adams Counties but we do not yet know his father. Adam is at:
http://www.siteservers.net/family/tree/4804.htm

Another Nicholas Bucher b.1808 immigrated in the 1800's to Northampton County, Pennsylvania. He is at:
http://www.siteservers.net/family/tree/3890.htm

You can see the actual DNA marker results for our R-007 Bucher Family males in the tan area at the bottom of the table at: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Bucher/index.aspx?fixed_columns=on

The Bucher Y-DNA Research Project has now tested 3 males related to the 1727 immigrant Nicholas Bucher of York Co. PA, as well as 35 males total, and those DNA results invalidate many trees published on the Internet, while revealing new evidenceabout Nicholas' family (details at http://www.SiteServers.net/family/dna )

The "myths" that are not true about Nicholas:

1) Nicholas is definitely not related to Bartholomew Bucher of Frederick Co., MD as many Internet trees suggest. Their DNA is very different.

2)Nicholas is not related to Peter Bucher/Booher of Fayette Co. PA.

3)Nicholas is not related to the Bucher lines living in Fredericksburg, Lebanon County, as some trees show.

New truths about Nicholas:

1)Nicholas is related to another Bucher line from Switzerland that immigrated in the early 1800's to Northampton County, PA, in which another Nicholas born in 1808 moved in 1837 to Northumberland County where he is buried.

2)Many early 1700's branches of Nicholas line have never been identified before for lack of documentation, but our DNA tests are able to discover them. For instance, the DNA of Adam Bucher born 1767 who died in Adams County, PA is identical to Nicholas Bucher's line. As more Bucher males are tested more missing sons will be uncovered.

We are now testing a male Bucher living today in Canton Bern, Switzerland who could match Nicholas, as this is where he is reportedly from. Consult http://www.SiteServers.net/family/dna for future news.

96 Hugh de Vere, 4th Earl of Oxford (c. 1207 – December 1263) was the only son and heir of Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford and Isabel de Bolebec, daughter and eventual sole heiress of Hugh de Bolebec.

Hugh de Vere was born about 1207. Hugh's mother, Isabel de Bolebec, Countess of Oxford, purchased her minor son's wardship in 1221 from the crown for 6000 marks. Hugh did homage to King Henry III in October 1231, and was knighted by the King at Gloucester on 22 May 1233. Two days later the King 'girt him with the sword of the Earldom of Oxford and directed the sheriff to let him have what he ought to have in the name of the Earldom of Oxford as his predecessors had had'.

He inherited the office of Master Chamberlain of England which had been granted to his great-grandfather Aubrey de Vere II. By right of that office, he participated in the coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. Earl Hugh was a critic of King Henry from 1246, and in 1258 and 1259 was elected to serve on various baronial committees attempting to reform royal government. The earl purchased the right to hold a market at the town on his primary estate, Castle Hedingham in Essex, and founded a chantry there.

de Vere, Sir Hugh 4th Earl of Oxford (I906)
 
97 Hugh the Great (c. 898 – 16 June 956) was the Duke of the Franks and Count of Paris.
He was the son of King Robert I of France and Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I, Count of Vermandois. He was born in Paris, Île-de-France, France. His eldest son was Hugh Capet who became King of France in 987. His family is known as the Robertians.

In 922 the barons of western Francia, after revolting against the Carolingian king Charles the Simple (who fled his kingdom under their onslaught), elected Robert I, Hugh's father, as king of Western Francia. At the death of Robert I, in battle at Soissons in 923, Hugh refused the crown and it went to his brother-in-law, Rudolph of France. Charles sought help in regaining his crown from his cousin Herbert II, Count of Vermandois, who instead of helping the king imprisoned him. Herbert then used his prisoner as an advantage in pressing his own ambitions, using the threat of releasing the king up until Charles' death in 929. From then on Herbert II of Vermandois struggled with King Rudolph and his vassal Hugh the Great. Finally Rudolph and Herbert II came to an agreement in 935.

At the death of Rudolph in 936, Hugh was in possession of nearly all of the region between the Loire and the Seine, corresponding to the ancient Neustria, with the exceptions of Anjou and of the territory ceded to the Normans in 911. He took a very active part in bringing Louis IV (d'Outremer) from the Kingdom of England in 936. In 937 Hugh married Hedwige of Saxony, a daughter of Henry the Fowler of Germany and Matilda, and soon quarrelled with Louis.

In 938 King Louis IV began attacking fortresses and lands formerly held by members of his family, some held by Herbert II of Vermandois. In 939 king Louis attacked Hugh the Great and William I, Duke of Normandy, after which a truce was concluded, lasting until June. That same year Hugh, along with Herbert II of Vermandois, Arnulf I, Count of Flanders and Duke William Longsword paid homage to the Emperor Otto the Great, and supported him in his struggle against Louis.

When Louis fell into the hands of the Normans in 945, he was handed over to Hugh in exchange for their young duke Richard. Hugh released Louis IV in 946 on condition that he should surrender the fortress of Laon. In 948 at a church council at Ingelheim the bishops, all but two being from Germany, condemned and excommunicated Hugh in absentia, and returned Archbishop Artauld to his See at Reims. Hugh's response was to attack Soissons and Reims while the excommunication was repeated by a council at Trier. In 953 Hugh finally relented and made peace with Louis IV, the church and his brother-in-law Otto the Great.

On the death of Louis IV, Hugh was one of the first to recognize Lothair as his successor, and, at the intervention of Queen Gerberga, was instrumental in having him crowned. In recognition of this service Hugh was invested by the new king with the duchies of Burgundy and Aquitaine. In the same year, however, Giselbert, duke of Burgundy, acknowledged himself his vassal and betrothed his daughter to Hugh's son Otto-Henry. At Giselbert's death (8 April 956) Hugh became effective master of the duchy, but on 16 June Hugh died in Dourdan.

Hugues le Grand meurt le « XVI des calendes de juillet 956 », c'est-à-dire le 16 juin 956, au château de Dourdan. Sa sépulture se trouve dans la basilique Saint-Denis, nécropole des rois de France.

Hugh married first, in 922, Judith, daughter of Roger, Count of Maine, and his wife Rothilde, a daughter of Emperor Charles the Bald. She died childless in 925.

Hugh's second wife was Eadhild, daughter of Edward the Elder, king of the Anglo-Saxons, and sister of King Æthelstan. They married in 926 and she died in 938, childless.

Hugh's third wife was Hedwig of Saxony, daughter of Henry the Fowler and Matilda. Children:
1 Beatrice married Frederick I, Duke of Upper Lorraine.
2 Hugh Capet (c. 939–997)
3 Emma (c. 943 – aft. 968).
5 Otto, Duke of Burgundy, a minor in 956.
6 Odo-Henry (Henry I, Duke of Burgundy) (946–1002)

98 i)--- de Lacy (-[1201/06]). Keith Stringer says that "one of the daughters of Roger de Lacy was evidently Alan’s first wife" and that "the manor of Kippax" was her dowry, quoting a charter, dated to [19 Dec 1200/1206], under which "Alanus filius Rollandi, dominus Galuuaith Scotie constabularius…et heredibus meis" gave quitclaim to "Rogero de Lascy Cestrie constabularius et heredibus suis" for "advocationem ecclesie de Kipeis"[492]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following document: the Curia Regis rolls record in 1214 “John [de Lacy] de warrantia carte de terra de Kippes...should warrant the charters of his father Roger which Alan [de Galloway]...has concerning the maritagium of his sister”[493]. m (before [19 Dec 1200/1206]) as his first wife, ALAN Lord of Galloway, son of ROLAND Lord of Galloway & his wife Helen de Moreville (-[2] Feb 1234, bur Dundraynan). http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLISHNOBILITYMEDIEVAL3T-Z.htm#dauRogerLacyMAlanGalloway de Lacy, Unknown (I859)
 
99 Immigrated to Pennsylvania on "Adventure".
Arrived in Philadelphia 2 October 1727 with 53 Palatines and families, about 140

Both Yost and Dorothea buried in Leidy's Church cemetery

per web site The German COPE family (http;//www2.fwi.com/~migen/cope/german.htm)

Wuerttemberg, the city of his birth, is in former Prussian, Saxony, reputed to be the city where the Reformation started in 1517. The garrison church contains the graves of Luther and Melanchton. Luther's Cell and Melanchton's house are said still to be preserved.

Yost Cope and his family arrived in Pennsylvania on October 2, 1727 on the ship, the Galley Adventure, and was naturalized on Sept. 25-27, 1740. He came into possesion of a tract of land in the southeastern corner of Franconia township, bounded by the Cherry Lane, County Line, Hatfield Township line. The western was not certain, but believed to be the Hatfield Road, Washington Avenue extension, on the eastern border of present Souderton. The original homstead was located in the center ofthe tract, where the present house and barn stand.

There was 150 acres surveyed to him by Penn's Commissioners by warrant dated January 8, 1734. (Hist. Soud.)

He was one of the petitioners requesting the Court at Philadelphia, March, 1739, to open a public road, now known as the Cowpath Road. In 1744 he was a petitioner on the request for the opening of a public road on the County Line of Bucks and then Philadelphia county, from the vicinity of Cherry Lane to Line Lexington, the present County Line Road, and now also partly Highway Route 309. (Hist. Soud.)

Rev. John Peter Miller, in the Old Goshenhoppen Church Record, recorded a baptism on "Aug. 22, 1731, of Johann Adam, son of Johann Jost Kob and wife-witness, Johann Adam Beuscher & wf," showing the Yost Cope and his wife were Reformed in their faith. It is, therefore, a fair assumption, that when this new Reformed Congregation started here in 1744-45, it being considerable closer home, they actively engaged in worship here, evidenced by three sons marrying three daughters of families ofthis congregation, and themselves active in its affairs during their lifetime.

The above mentioned tract was in the possession of Yost Cope in 1755. In 1769 a resurvey was made, because errors were discovered in the draft of the tract that was surveyed had three owners, Jacob Leidy, John Cope and William Althouse. Patents of "confirmation" deeds were issued to Jacob Leidy for 246 acres, to William Althouse for 94 acres, to John Cope for 148 acres, less the usual six percent allowance for roads. (Hist. Souns.)

Yost Cope later moved to Bucks County where his sons, Abraham and Adam had purchased land in 1759. Yost Cope did not appear on any of the Indian Creek Church Contribution Lists, but his sons did beginning with the first record in 1768 and until 1796. Thus Abraham Cope, Adam Cope, John Cope, Michael and Henry Cope all were on these lists. Margrette Cope appears on the 1805 list. The farm on which Yost Cope lived was surrounded by other farms all in the possession of members of the IndianCreek Church. His three oldest sons married into two of these families. It seems, thus, reasonably certain that he and his family were in the audience at Indian Creek when Rev. Michael Schlatter preached on Oct. 20, 1746, and no doubt with at least two of his sons, Adam who
was 15 years of age, and Abraham who was 12 years of age.

We know that Yost and Dorothea Cope had at least six children, with the three oldest sons members of the Indian Creek Church until the time of their death." (A. History of Christ Reformed Church at Indian Creek (Indianfield).

He was a cooper by trade.

His will is recorded in Philadelphia, Pa.

100 In 1681, William Lane bought 1000 acres from William Penn, a personal friend. His son, Edward Lane, from 1698-1705 bought 4,000 more acres on both sides of the Perkiomen Creek.
He built and operated an inn of the west bank of the creek... now the oldest hotel in the United States.
