Every single one of them descended from a long line of wealthy landowners, they themselves descended from the Lords of London and Holland, AKA the Aristocrats (a group that remains coherent by extreme pressure to marry other Aristocrats, their cousins)..

Can confirm. Someone I know married an aristocrat. They treated her and her family worse than dogs. Then he was murd…. Er. He had a heart attack at a strangely early age. They gave her a big chunk of money to go away and never exist in their presence again.
