According to family lore, the author was descended from a Lord Sherborne in England. For years, the author tried to find information about the Lords of Sherborne to no avail, the family was apparently extinct. However, using the internet, the author uncovered the Sherborne secret and proved his family’s relationship to the Lords of Sherborne. The author surprisingly finds himself descended over 100 times from the Kings of England and from other notables, including the Howard family, Earls of Suffolk & Berkshire. Most surprising genealogical discovery: that he is a 6th cousin, once-removed, of the former Princess Diana of Wales, and 7th cousin to Princes William and Harry Windsor. So take a genealogical walk back in time to the days when the sons of the blood royal were forbidden to marry the daughters of common men, when class distinctions mattered more than true love, when a toddler was wrenched away from a father that might have loved him but for the customs of the day...and discover Lord Sherborne!
