In this final post on the ancestry of Hon. Annette Maria (née Palk) Baird, her maternal ancestry is once again the focus. Her mother Maria Harriet, Lady Haldon has several lines of descent from Edward III, through each of her parents. The previous post detailed the line which should have been included in Ruvigny's 1911 Mortimer-Percy volume. This post explores five additional lines for Lady Haldon from Edward III, the three through his grandson Cardinal Henry Beaufort, as well as the two through his youngest son Thomas of Woodstock.
