Pedigree of Foljambe, of Aldwarke Hall.

[From Joseph Foster, Pedigrees of the county families of Yorkshire, vol.1 (London, 1874). Many thanks to Barbarann K. Ayars for being kind enough to transcribe this lengthy pedigree. N.B. In common with many pedigrees of this period, the earlier parts of this work should be treated with caution - in particular, the first few generations give a typical legendary descent from Scandinavian royalty. From the 13th century onwards, a great deal of record evidence has obviously been incorporated in the pedigree, although some odd duplications suggest it has not always been correctly interpreted. Generally, the reliability of the data is likely to be greater in the later parts.]
