Research notes

CONSTANCE of CASTILE (c.1136-1160), daughter of Alfonso VII the Emperor and Berengaria of Barcelona (F99753, both already in the tree); queen of Louis VII; mother of Alys of the Vexin (our line). This rung LOOPS the French royal line onto the existing Castilian and Barcelonan houses. Standard well-documented medieval royal genealogy per the cited authorities; contested rungs note-only, not hardened.
