Notable ancestors
On Soc.gen.medieval, a poster has submitted excerpts from a Fox article about the forthcoming baby. The last few paragraphs are:


 * On the side of celebrities, there are links to the American actress Ellen DeGeneres and the British film director Guy Ritchie, the former husband of Madonna.


 * But the most astonishing discovery is a little-known ascendancy of one of its distant ascendants, the queen of France, Marie de' Medici, descendant of Alphonse VI of Castillia, who died in 1109. His fourth wife Zaida, who was an Islamic princess converted to Roman Catholicism, had as an ancestor, according to Beaucarnot, "a king of Seville considered a direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammed".

Geni.com has details of the line from Mohammed to Spain. We should do more work on it. He's a much more notable ancestor than Rurik.
