Appears the Queens heritage is in doubt. Along with other Royals.
Someone was jumping into the Tudor line.
Parking lot skeleton almost certainly Richard III, scientists prove … but his ancestors might not have been noble | National Post
In the new study — probably the oldest forensic case ever solved — scientists compared DNA from the skeleton to living relatives and analyzed DNA data identifying eye and hair color, which they matched to the earliest known portrait of the king.
“The probability that this is Richard is 99.999 percent,” said Turi King, a geneticist at the University of Leicester who led the research. When she and colleagues compared the skeleton’s DNA obtained from the ground-up powder of one tooth and a leg bone to samples provided by a 14th cousin on Richard’s maternal side, they found a perfect match.
Scientists also compared the skeleton’s DNA to samples from living relatives on Richard’s father’s side. They found no match, a discovery that could throw the nobility of some royals into question.
While researchers weren’t able to say where on the family tree the adultery occurred, they said the findings potentially raise questions about the legitimacy of Henry V, Henry VI and the entire Tudor dynasty, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.
