How can Kit Harington be a direct descendent of Robert Catesby....

If Catesby's only surviving child, his son Robert had no surviving issue?

No surviving issue means what?

Children.

Kit's probably a descendant of a relative of Robert Catesby. I'm not sure why he downplays his father's side of the family. Kit's father is Sir David Harington, 15th Baronet of Ridlington and he's related to King James I.

Kit H is a collateral descendant, according to Wikipedia.

KH needs to be down on his knees, thanking Catesby for creating collateral descendants. He wouldn't have been around to eat Rose Leslie's pussy, both on GOT and in RL, otherwise
