Lady Josephine Karissa Howard, 2nd Marchioness of Pembroke Territory

The Love Match

Travel back with me in time when Lord Anthony Christopher Howard met his beautiful Duchess, Lady Alexandrina Charlene Stuart, whose mother was born into a loving bi-racial family and she was the only child of her parent's, Lord Ferdinand Habsburg and Lady Carissa De Sousa.This didn't stop either of them from loving each other and marrying each other. Lord Ferdinand Habsburg who came from a proud ancestry of Emperor, Maximilian I of The Holy Roman Empire with his marriage to Lady Mary of Burgundy whose father only had one child out of three marriages with his second wife, was born Lady Mary Burgundy and through Maximilian and Lady Mary came Prince Phillip The Handsome who married the second daughter of King Ferdinand I of Spain and Queen Isabella of Castile who was a direct descendant of King Edward III through his third son, Prince John of Gaunt, who married as his second wife, Princess Constance of Castile who had only one child, Princess Catherine of Lancaster who married King Henry II of Castile and through them they are great-grandfather and grandmother of Queen Isabella of Castile the daughter of King John II of Castile and Princess Isabella of Portugal and she married King Ferdinand of Aragon and they had four daughters and one son, their second daughter, Princess Juana of Castile inherited Castile but with her marriage to Prince Phillip of Austria.

Queen Juana and King Phillip the handsome created a dynasty as King Edward III and Queen Phillipa of Hainault and Queen Juana wasn't crazy like many historians thought she was married to a man that was a cheater, whore monger, and womanizer and even when she was carrying his children. He was cheating on her and it drove her to her wits-end.

Queen Juana of Castile had Eleanor 15 November 1498 25 February 1558 (aged 59) first marriage in 1518, Manuel I of Portugal and had children; second marriage in 1530, Francis I of France and had no children.

Charles 24 February 1500 21 September 1558 (aged 58) married in 1526, Isabella of Portugal and had children.

Isabella 18 July 1501 19 January 1526 (aged 24) married in 1515, Christian II of Denmark and had children.

Ferdinand 10 March 1503 25 July 1564 (aged 61) married in 1521, Anna of Bohemia and Hungary and had children.

Mary 18 September 1505 18 October 1558 (aged 53) married in 1522, Louis II of Hungary and Bohemia and had no children.

Catherine 14 January 1507 12 February 1578 (aged 71) married in 1525, John III of Portugal and had children.

Queen Juana Odin, bless her soul, had three daughters and two sons and she had many grandchildren, some of them included King Phillip II of Spain.Maria Manuela, Princess of Portugal, John of Denmark,Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor,Sebastian of Portugal.

Lady Carissa De Souza was a direct descendant of Huge Capet and through his son, Robert II of France and his son, Robert I, Duke of Burgundy and his son,Henry, son of Robert I of Burgundy through Henry, Henry, Count of Portugal and his son, The First king of Portugal who was Alfonso I of Portugal who was the father of Sancho I of Portugal and who was the father of Alfonso II of Portugal and Mafalda of Portugal and she was the wife of King Henry I of Castile, but King Alfonso II had a son, King Alfonso III and he had mistress name Madragana who was a Moor and she was most likely Islam but when she converted to Christianity for the fear of life by The Catholic Church and she was given the name of Maior Alfonso, meaning Daughter of Alfonso and they have one son, Martim Alfonso Chichorro.

There is some controversy regarding her ethnicity. Duarte Nunes de Leão, a Portuguese royal chronicler of the 16th century, said that Madragana was a Moor. That was disputed in the 18th century by António Caetano de Sousa.

She was probably Mozarab.

Nonetheless, this supposed Moorish connection gave rise to a claim by Mario de Valdes y Cocom that the British royal family had African ancestry via the 15-generation descent of Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of George III of the United Kingdom, from Madragana, giving Charlotte what the proponent described as a "conspicuously Negroid" appearance. However, it is far from clear that Madragana's family was of recent African origin, nor is it likely that, even were she African, Madragana's negligible contribution to Charlotte's genetic makeup would have caused the Queen alone, among all of Madgarana's descendants at this number of generations' removed, to display distinctive African features.
