Recently on Gen-Medieval, a [[Descent From Antiquity]] was proposed behind Blanche d'Artois (died 1302), Regent of Navarre and wife of Edmund Plantagenet, Earl of Lancaster and of Leicester. The descent relies on a few newer connections being recognized. As Leo van de Pas sources, ES already gives us the ascent from Blanche up to [http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00027070&tree=LEO Isaac II Angelos, Emperor of Byzantium]] (d 1204) and his wife Herina or Eirene. However ES gives no parentage for this Eirene. Leo notes "Isaac's wife may have been a member of the Palaiologos family." However a Gen-Medieval posting by Shawn Potter makes this connection definite citing: "Rudolf Hiestand, “Die Erste Ehe Isaaks II Angelus und Seine Kinder” in Jahrbuch der Osterreichischen Byzantinistik, 47 [1997]: 199-208. On January 18-19, 2000, Don Stone cited this and other articles to support the proposition that the first wife of Isaac II Angelos was a daughter of Georgios Comnenodukas Palaiologos, whose wife was a Georgian princess. He also wrote that Jean-Claude Cheynet and Jean-Francois Vannier, in Etudes Prosopographiques, 1986, esp. 156-158, 162-163, show that Andronikos Palaiologos was called “beloved brother-in-law” of Isaac II Angelos, Emperor of Byzantium.

On March 15-24, 2003, Igor Sklar provided additional information indicating that the mother-in-law of Isaac II Angelos was Aspa of Ossetia, daughter of David of Ossetia and Rusudan of Georgia, daughter of David IV, King of Georgia and Rusudan of Armenia, see [http://groups.google.ca/group/soc.genealogy.medieval/browse_thread/thread/8bb3109e040d86c2/91e8424efaa0f0ee?lnk=gst&q=%2Baspae+%2Bgeorgia# here]" ==Sources== *"Proposed DFA through Georgia", by Shawn Potter, 24 Aug 2008 *[http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00005198&tree=LEO "Blanche d'Artois, Regent of Navarre"] at genealogics
