• Notes

  According to a novel that appears to be well researched, "Falls the Shadow", Elen was married at age 14 against her will to John the Scot for reasons of power as was the custom. Although John was a good man, she never learned to love him, and instead had fallen in love with a distance relative during her first marriage, Robert de Quincy. Her first husband fell very ill with spotted fever at age 31. She cared for his every need, but upon his death, scandalized the Welsh society by marrying her true love, Robert de Quincy, just one month after his death.
