Van wie was Nest ferch Rhys?

Nest ferch Rhys (c. 1085 – c. 1136) was the daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr, last King of Deheubarth in Wales, by his wife, Gwladys ferch Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn of Powys. Her family is of the House of Dinefwr. Nest was the wife of Gerald de Windsor (c. 1075 – 1135), Constable of Pembroke Castle and son of the Constable of Windsor Castle in Berkshire, by whom she was the ancestress of the FitzGerald dynasty.

Nest had two younger brothers, Gruffydd ap Rhys and Hywel, and, possibly, an older sister named Marared, as well as several older illegitimate half-brothers and half-sisters. After their father's death in battle in 1093, "the Kingdom of the Britons fell" and was overrun by Normans. Nest's younger brother Gruffydd was spirited into Ireland for safety; their brother Hywel may have been captured by Arnulf de Montgomery, along with their mother, unless, as appears likelier, their mother was captured with Nest; their fate is unknown. Two older brothers, illegitimate sons of Rhys, one of them named Goronwy, were captured and executed.

Hendrik I van Engeland Beauclerc (Selby (York), ca. 1068 – Lyons-la-Forêt (Frankrijk), 1 december 1135) was koning van Engeland en hertog van Normandië. Zijn bijnaam had hij te danken aan de lange tijd aangehouden opvatting dat hij een voor die tijd uitzonderlijk goede opleiding had genoten en naast Normandisch Frans, ook Latijn en Engels las en sprak en enig onderwijs in de vrije kunsten zou hebben gehad. Het moderne onderzoek gaat er echter van uit dat hij weliswaar het Latijn enigszins machtig was en ook wel enige notie van de vrije kunsten had, maar dat zijn talenkennis niet zo enorm was als men vroeger aannam.
