Strictly for fun

A colleague genealogist sent me the following line (thank you, Linda).

I'm sure that some of my family members, knowing nothing about the numbers op persons involved in distant genealogy, will take this infomation much more seriously than I do.

Up to now, I found very few indications that Juliana was a natural daughter of Jan I indeed.

I should have written that the Pipenpoys descended in other, better documented lines from the dukes of Brabant. I have documented links going back to Hendrik I, fourth duke of Brabant (+ 1235) and I am sure there are others.
