Col. Gerard Fowke was the 19th generation in a descent from Henry II,
King of England (d. 1189( and Ida, one of the King's many mistresses.
Henry was a grandson of Henry I of England (son of William the Conqueror)
and his Queen Matilda of Scotland. Through Matilda's parents - Malcolm
III, King of Scots, and St. Margaret - one picks up the ancient lineages
of the Scottish and Saxon kings.
