Interesting, wouldn't you also want to claim the father of Sir Robert Throckmorton, Sir George Throckmorton. You always appear to make the largest claim on your German, Jewish, and (recently) Roma ancestry.
Well I'll go ahead and claim my ancestors or their close relatives that were also High Sheriff in Glamorgan:
1557 - James Button of Worlton, St. Nicholas
1565 - Miles Button of Worlton, St. Nicholas
1571 - Miles Button of Worlton, St. Nicholas
1589 - Miles Button of Worlton, St. Nicholas
1641 - Robert Button of Worlton, St. Nicholas
1668 - Thomas Button of Cottrell, St. Nicholas
1709 - Thomas Button of Cottrell, St. Nicholas
1727 - Martin Button of Dyffryn, St. Nicholas
Also ancestors or relatives of Button Gwinnett (his god-mother is Barbara Button heiress of Cottrell House, Glamorgan), an American founding father, representative of Georgia to the Continental Congress and one of the signatories of the US Declaration of Independence.
Also ancestors or relatives to Captain Thomas Button, member of the Second Virginia Charter of 1609 (also known as the Second Jamestown Charter). His son William Button received a Crown grant of 3,650 acres in Essex County, Virginia about 1634, and in 1666 transferred to his brother Robert Button (my 9th great-grandfather).
This family is supposed to be descended from a knight under one of the vassals of William, Duke of Normandy and participated in the conquest of England.
And my 3rd great-grandfather (Franz Anton Schonlau) immigrated to the US from Westphalia, Prussia prior to 1861.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - That is not to far from the truth and reality of it.
The current British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, is by descent a Hanoverian through her 2x great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, and a Saxe-Coburg and Gotha through her 2x great-grandfather, Prince Albert, the Prince Consort, adds to that statement. Hanover becoming subsumed by the Kingdom of Prussia and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha being an ally of Prussia.
