2. De generaties vóór Thomas Sleijster
We hebben gezien dat het oudste gegeven dat we in de archieven konden vinden was: het huwelijk van
Thomas Sleijsser/Sleijster in Zutphen in 1625.
Van 1600 terug naar 967
In oktober 2004 echter vond ik de website van Jessica Lynn Boutilier.
Jessica is de
achterkleindochter van Grietje Sleijster uit Heerde (Zt3). Haar familieonderzoek op www.angelfire.com/freak2/jessicaross_1/aqwg01.htm#1
start met Jessica zelf en het eindigt met de Graaf van Anjou in
het jaar
967.
Van 967 terug naar 4046 v.Chr.
Na de Graaf van Anjou is via andere websites vervolgens de stamreeks te vinden naar Adam. Wat moeten we daarvan denken? Is een stamreeks van Thomas Sleijster tot Adam wel betrouwbaar?
Inderdaad zijn de bronnen niet allemaal zeker. De lange reeksen van Oost-Frankische en Oost-Europese Sicambrische koningen en vervolgens de Trojaanse koningen bevatten legendarische elementen. De Trojaan Ilius zou rechtstreeks afstammen van Zerah de zoon van Juda en Tamar (Genesis 38).

In deze stamboom wordt aangenomen dat Robert Dudley, graaf van Leicester, de vader van Thomas Sleijster is.
En hoewel daar geen keihard bewijs voor is te vinden, is daar toch veel voor te zeggen. Behalve de mondelinge overleveringen in de (oudste) familie, die toch wel heel geloofwaardig zijn, is er de klank van de naam. Leicester wordt uitgesproken als Lester of Leister. Daar komt bij dat Thomas Sergeant in het leger van Leicester was. De herleiding van de naam naar SLeister ligt dan voor de hand (Son of Leister / Sergeant of Leister).

Graaf van Leicester, Robert Dudley
Als je op Jessica's website bij Thomas
Sleijster klikte op de button Parents kwam je bij de vader van Thomas: Graaf
van Leicester,
Robert Dudley, geboren in 1533 in Engeland. Bij Robert Dudley staat vermeld: trouwde met "een getrouwde vrouw".
In totaal trouwde Robert drie keer en
kreeg (officieel) geen kinderen.
Zijn eerste huwelijk was met Amy Robsart,
die in 1560 stierf door een val van de trap. Roberts vijanden zeiden dat zij
mogelijk door hem vermoord was; zij werd begraven in de Universiteitskerk
van de Heilige Maagd Maria in Oxford.
Robert werd 1st Graaf van Leicester in 1564
Zijn tweede huwelijk was in 1573 maar dit was een geheim huwelijk met Douglas Howard.
Er wordt gezegd dat hij Elizabeth I in 1575 onthaalde op zijn vestiging in Kenilworth Castle, S of Coventry
(voorheen bezit van John of Gaunt, nu een ruïne)
Zijn derde huwelijk was in 1578 (eveneens geheim en bigamistisch) met Lettice Knollys (weduwe van Walter Devereux, 1st Graaf van Essex en moeder van Penelope Devereux). Robert werd stiefvader van Robert Devereux, 2e Graaf van Essex, hij
bouwde een van de grootste collecties van portretten op, zijn neef Sir Philip Sidney
schreef The Lady of May waarschijnlijk in 1578 om zijn en Leicester's
belangen bij de koningin te promoten, hij werd in 1588 benoemd om de
strijdkrachten tegen de Spaanse Armada aan te voeren, maar hij overleed in
1588 op de leeftijd van 56 jaar en werd begraven in de Kerk van de Heilige
Maria in Warwick.
Naar Nederland
In 1585 werd Robert benoemd als aanvoeder van de Engelse strijdkrachten in Nederland. Nederland was in opstand tegen de heerschappij van Filips II, en de Engelsen hielpen de Nederlanders in hun campagne. Robert verbleef in Nederland tot 1587, hoewel hij gedurende de crisis van koningin Mary van Schotland terugkeerde in 1586/7, en hij was in Engeland toen Mary geëxecuteerd werd. De Engelse betrokkenheid bij Nederland was niet bijzonder succesvol, en toen hij niet permanent terugkeerde, ontving hij een boel kritiek op zijn acties hier.
Armada
Hoe dan ook, voorlopig was hij niet een voorspoedig man,waarschijnlijk lijdend aan maagkanker, en zijn dagen waren geteld. Na de nederlaag van de Armada reisde hij naar Buxton om te proberen heil te vinden bij de genezende wateren daar, maar dat heeft hij niet gehaald. Hij stierf in zijn huis in Oxfordshire op 4 september 1588. Elizabeth was gebroken door het verlies haar oude vriend en compagnon, en sloot naar men zegt zichzelf enkele dagen op in haar appartement. Zij bewaarde de brief die hij haar enkele dagen voor zijn dood had gezonden als een schat, en schreef erop: "Zijn laatste brief". Zij stopte die in haar juwelenkist en daar verbleef hij tot haar dood 15 jaar later.
Slechts weinigen deelden haar rouw. Zijn vijanden zeiden dat de vreugde bij het verslaan van de Armada niets was vergeleken bij de vreugde bij het nieuws van Robert's dood. Hij kreeg een begrafenis die paste bij een edelman en werd begraven in de Beauchamp Chapel of St/ Mary'd Church in Warwick.

Als we dus mogen aannemen
dat Thomas Sleijster een zoon was van Leicester, is hij geboren tussen 1584 en 1588. We weten dat hij getrouwd is in 1625. Vervolgens kunnen we de
familiestamboom uitbreiden tot aan de Graaf van Anjou, geboren in het jaar 967. En vervolgens kunnen we de stamboom zelfs uitbreiden naar Adam en Eva.
Hieronder vervolgen we de stamreeks met Robert Dudley's ouders

[Notes]
65015552. King Of England John Lackland ANGEVIN
1167-1216, king of England (1199-1216); youngest son of HENRY II. After his brother RICHARD I left on the Third CRUSADE, John conspired unsuccessfully with PHILIP II of France to supplant Richard as king. On Richard's death, John ascended the throne to the exclusion of his nephew ARTHUR I of Brittany, who, with the aid of Philip II, began a revolt in France. Although Arthur was captured (1202), John lost many of his French possessions to Philip. John's refusal to accept a new archbishop of Canterbury led to his excommunication (1209). To regain papal favor, he surrendered (1213) his kingdom to Pope INNOCENT III, and received it back as a papal fief. In England his abuse of feudal custom in raising money aroused intense opposition from the barons. They rebelled in 1215 and compelled John to set his seal to the MAGNA CARTA. He was succeeded by his son HENRY III.
John (reigned 1199-1216) was an able administrator interested in law and government but he neither trusted others nor was trusted by them. Heavy taxation, disputes with the Church (John was excommunicated by the Pope in 1209) and unsuccessful attempts to recover his French possessions made him unpopular. Many of his barons rebelled and in June 1215 they forced the King to sign a peace treaty accepting their reforms.
This treaty, later known as Magna Carta, limited royal powers, defined feudal obligations between the King and the barons, and guaranteed a number of rights. The most influential clauses concerned the freedom of the Church; the redress of grievances of owners and tenants of land; the need to consult the Great Council of the Realm so as to prevent unjust taxation; mercantile and trading relationships; regulation of the machinery of justice so that justice be denied to no one; and the requirement to control the behaviour of royal officials. The most important clauses established the basis of habeas corpus ('you have the body'), i.e. that no one shall be imprisoned except by due process of law, and that 'to no one will we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay right or justice'.
The Charter also established a council of barons who were to ensure that the Sovereign observed the Charter, with the right to wage war on him if he did not. Magna Carta was the first formal document insisting that the Sovereign was as much under the rule of law as his people; and that the rights of individuals were to be upheld even against the wishes of the sovereign. As a source of fundamental constitutional principles, Magna Carta came to be seen as an important definition of aspects of English law, and in later centuries as the basis of the liberties of the English people.
As a peace treaty Magna Carta was a failure and the rebels invited Louis of France to become their king. When John died in 1216 England was in the grip of civil war.

Notes:
130031104. King Of England Henry II Curtmantle ANGEVIN
Henry II, 1133-89 (r.1154-89), was the son of Matilda and GEOFFREY IV, count of Anjou. Founder of the Angevin, or Plantagenet, line, he became duke of Normandy in 1150 and in 1152 married ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE, thus gaining vast territories in France. In 1153 he invaded England and forced STEPHEN to acknowledge him as his heir. As king he restored order to war-ravaged England, subdued the barons, centralized the power of government in royalty, and strengthened royal courts. Henry's desire to increase royal authority brought him into conflict with THOMAS à BECKET, whom he had made (1162) archbishop of Canterbury. The quarrel, which focused largely on the jurisdiction of the church courts, came to a head when Henry issued (1163) the Constitutions of CLARENDON, defining the relationship between church and state, and ended (1170) with Becket's murder, for which Henry was forced by public indignation to do penance. During his reign he gained northern counties from Scotland and increased his French holdings. He was also involved in family struggles. Encouraged by their mother and LOUIS VI of France, his three oldest sons, Henry, RICHARD I, and Geoffrey, rebelled (1173-74) against him. The rebellion collapsed, but at the time of Henry's death, Richard and the youngest son, JOHN, were in the course of another rebellion.
Henry II (reigned 1154-89) ruled over an empire which stretched from the Scottish border to the Pyrenees. One of the strongest, most energetic and imaginative rulers, Henry was the inheritor of three dynasties who had acquired Aquitaine by marriage; his charters listed them: 'King of the English, Duke of the Normans and Aquitanians and Count of the Angevins'. The King spent only 13 years of his reign in England; the other 21 years were spent on the continent in his territories in what is now France. Henry's rapid movements in carrying out his dynastic responsibilities astonished the French King, who noted 'now in England, now in Normandy, he must fly rather than travel by horse or ship'.
By 1158, Henry had restored to the Crown some of the lands and royal power lost by Stephen; Malcom IV of Scotland was compelled to return the northern counties. Locally chosen sheriffs were changed into royally appointed agents charged with enforcing the law and collecting taxes in the counties. Personally interested in government and law, Henry made use of juries and re-introduced the sending of justices (judges) on regular tours of the country to try cases for the Crown. His legal reforms have led him to be seen as the founder of English Common Law.
Henry's disagreements with the Archbishop of Canterbury (the king's former chief adviser), Thomas à Becket, over Church-State relations ended in Becket's murder in 1170 and a papal interdict on England. Family disputes over territorial ambitions almost wrecked the king's achievements. Henry died in France in 1189, at war with his son Richard who had joined forces with king Philip of France to attack Normandy.

130031105. Eleanore D'AQUITAINE was born 1123 in Bordeaux, Gironde, France. She died 31 Mar 1204 in Fontevrault, France.
Notes:
1122-1204, queen consort first of LOUIS VII of France and then of HENRY II of England; daughter of William X, duke of Aquitaine. Her marriage to Louis was annulled in 1152 and shortly thereafter she married Henry, then duke of Normandy, uniting her vast possessions with his. Two of her sons-RICHARD I and JOHN-became kings of England. Henry's many infidelities caused her to establish her own court (1170) at Poitiers, which became the scene of much artistic activity. She supported her sons in their unsuccessful revolt (1173) against Henry and was confined by Henry until 1185. In 1189 she helped Richard secure the throne
