The Royal House of Plantagenets, Cadet Branch- was named: “House of Lancaster” and gifted to King Henry III son  Lord Edward “Cross back” (aka) “Crouchback.”   “Lord Edward was the famously humble son, who declined offers to be King. Instead positioning himself  as “role model” / “fashion designer” for his Plantagenet family. He literally stitched himself into  world history by making hand sewn., “Christian Crosses” into his clothing which earned him the  moniker of: “CROSS-BACK.”  He was so “Pure” “Holy” and “Righteous,” everyone in the Royal house agreed: “He was the only Lord worthy of wearing a Cross!”   

Lord Edward married and had a family with: Queen Blanche of Artois. -(Queen of Navarre and Countess of Champagne).  and she was niece to: “King Lois IX” of FRANCE.”  The Royal couple, only had two surviving children. as a result, today there are only “5ooo” actual remaining descendants (Prince Jordan is one of them.) When Lord Edmund passed in 1296, (Their) estates remained within the Plantagenet family. However in 1461; by order of “King Henry IV Plantagenet.” The House of Lancaster,” AND all of Lord Edward and Blanche,  monies and properties went into a special bank account called the Duchy of Lancaster;  Today the Duchy has a total net worth of about $685 million. The Duchy was ordered to be held separate from the crown to ensure future Plantagenet descendants.
