Of the eight couples above, only four (Eure, Hastings, Willoughby, and Welles) are included in Richardson's Plantagenet Ancestry (2004).  Two more, Constable and Gascoigne are included in Richardson's Magna Carta Ancestors (2005).  The final two couples either do not descend from royalty or nobility or have yet to be proven so.  They, therefore, do not appear in these conventional sources.
