Ancestry of Queen Charlotte

None of the specified lineage is in dispute, through there are several places where it's confused because royal names over 600 years in four languages can get confusing.

Charlotte has Margarita de Castro e Sousa once in her 9th generation and twice in her 10th generation. This would put Madragana once in Charlotte's 15th generation and twice in her 16th generation.

On June 1, 1999, Evert Dijkema started a thread on the GEN-MEDIEVAL mailing list asking about the veracity of the information presented on the Frontline site. Leo van de Pas (1942-2016), a prominent genealogist and proprietor of Leo's Genealogics Website, replied several times on this thread, both corroborating and providing detail for the genealogy of Queen Charlotte presented by the "Blurred Racial Lines" site, but disputing nearly every other claim made therein.

This thread is the first mention, by Leo van de Pas, of the link from MCS to Madragana / Magdalena Gil. This link is still documented on Leo's Genealogics Website.

The Portuguese Wikipedia page for Madragana states "Algumas das família reais europeias que descendem de D. Urraca vão buscar a sua linhagem a Carlota de Mecklemburgo-Strelitz, avó da rainha Vitória I de Inglaterra por via dos casamentos dos membros da família real inglesa com outras casa reais europeias." ("Some of the European royal families descended from D. Urraca go to Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, grandmother of I of , through their marriages between members of the English and other European royal houses.") Urraca Afonso de Portugal was the other child of Madragana and Afonso III, sister to Martim Afonso Chichorro in the ancestry table above. This precise ancestral link between him and Charlotte has not been documented.
