View source for Blanche d'Artois, Regent of Navarre

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."
