you have 2 parents 4 grandparents 16 ggparents 32 gggparents ... so for a conservative 30 y per generation 300 years gives you 1024 ancestors 600 1million1000 ( the age of WtC half brother) a good 1,000,000,000 - slightly more than the population of the UK at the time So, unless your from Norfolk, your probably a direct descendent of them both.
