:::The ancestry tables are essential for readers who want to know the person's relation to other noble families. In the case of England, there was a relatively small aristocracy which resulted in extensive intermarrying between the same noble families such as the Fitzalans, de Bohuns, Mortimers, de Beauchamp's, etc. It is particularly useful in tracing the titles. The tables also elimate the need to give undo weight to a person's genealogy in the article's main space. A lot of hard work went into these tables and it would be a pity to delete them.
