Note 805 — Chapter VI · Argos

See further Busolt, Gr. G. I.2 p. 619, n. 2, and text. Long pedigrees are not in any case infallible material for arriving at a precise date. There is always e.g. the possibility that here and there a son who died before his father may have been left out of the list. A pedigree of the house of Hanover might easily omit Frederic the father of George III, as is in fact done by Thackeray, who, in chapter XXX. of the Virginians, speaks of Queen Victoria’s great grandfather, meaning George II.
