Correct. That's what I am aiming at showing. You see what happened to her
descendants and who they married between her marriage to King Erik(we write
it with a 'k') and 1521 actually explain a lot of the facts which so many
non-specialist in Scandinavian-Greenland-North America questions either
don't know of or believe because they don't have the facts put in a context.

Not to mention that at least 2 American Presidents, Russia's Putkin and Juan
Carlos of Spain can draw their lines back to her.
