You want to talk about French blood King Robert The Bruce and Scotland Robert I (11 July 1274 - 7 June 1329), popularly known as Robert the Bruce (Medieval Gaelic: Roibert a Briuis; Modern Scottish Gaelic: Raibeart Brus; Norman French: Robert de Brus or Robert de Bruys; Early Scots: Robert Brus; Latin: Robertus Brussius), was King of Scots from 1306 to his death in 1329. Robert was one of the most famous warriors of his generation and eventually led Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England. He fought successfully during his reign to regain Scotland's place as an independent country and is now revered in Scotland as a national hero.

In his lifetime there was no 'France' and he wasn't King, but Emperor France's origin can be dated at the earliest to the year 843, when the Merovingian/Carolingian Empire was divided into West Franconia (the later France), Burgundy and East Franconia (the later Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation). But by then, of course, Charlemagne was long dead. He died where he lived most of his life, in the german city of Aachen, which had never been part of France.

Indeed, caught in nationalist jingoism, the French have had a long tradition in appropriating historical figures and sell them as "French" to the world for centuries now, vide Marie Salomea Skłodowska, Frederic Chopin, Charles the Great (Frenchified "Charlemagne"), Clovis etc. etc.

The famous anthropologist Carlton Kuhn attributed most of the Franks and Alemanni to the Celtic type, which is a Nordic subtype containing a Dinaric and Alpine admixture, and is characterized by mesocephaly, a low arch, a protruding nose and darker pigmentation: «[The skeletal] series clearly demonstrate that the Franks were a moderately diverse group, but differing as a whole from the main North Germanic type from which they probably descended. Although individuals belong to this type, the Franks in general resemble the Celtic peoples who occupied Belgium and northern France before them. This similarity includes a total cranial index value of about 76 and a cranial arch height of 132 mm. There are no special differences in the size or shape of the skull between the Merovingian Franks and the local Celts, except for one important fact: instead of falling into the range between the Celts and other Germans, according to many metric criteria, the Franks are slightly superior to the Celts themselves.

'The King of France'... ugh. Again someone propelling this popular misconception created by french nationalist propaganda... France did NOT exist at that time. In fact Charlemagne was a german frank, spoke a german language and the capital of his empire was the city of Aachen, which has always been a city of Germany/german states with a german population but never one of France. one of Charlemagne bore the name 'Louis the German'.... Charlemagne was King of the Frankish Kingdom. The Frankish Kingdom was split into 3 parts a century after his death, one of these parts was West Francia which a few centuries later on top of that became slowly known as France... but still was far away from being a unified country, let alone a single nation.

De Franken waren niet Duits, zij spraken oorspronkelijk een taal die ook bekend staat als Oud-Hollands. Het grootste Frankische grafveld, de grafheuvels op de Donderberg bij Rhenen die 1.100 Frankische graven bevat, bevind zich dan ook in Nederland. Tevens is in Nederland bij Dorestad de grootste Karolingische muntenschat gevonden. Je kunt dus zeggen dat de Franken Nederlanders waren. Echter, Karel de Grote is in noord Gallië geboren, dus in Frankrijk, dat maakt hem Frans. Tevens verkozen de Franken duidelijk de Gallisch-Romaansche cultuur, religie (het Christendom) en taal boven die van de "Germanen" en voerden juist oorlog tegen de Duitse Saksen. En zoals hierboven al vermeld was Aken oorspronkelijk Aix-la-Chapelle een Romeinse nederzetting in noord Gallië. In moderne termen kun je zeggen; Charlemagne was een Fransman van Nederlandse afkomst die een hekel had aan Duitsers.
