Charlemagne is a Fake descended from Charles Martel the Stinkin' Mayor of the Palace. They are hiding the Real Imperial Bloodline. The Mayors of the Palace were the Servants of the Imperial Merovingian Family. Charlemagne is a mini Blip and he his only connected to the Merovingian Family from his Mother and not the Y-Chromosome. Charlemagne's Mother is descended from Emperor Dagobert I but Charlemagne did not receive his Y-Chromosome from his Mother, LoL, Charlemagne got his Y-Chromosome from his Treasonous Servant of a Dad, Pepin "The Short" Don't worrie, I set up the 1st Reich "Shortly" there after and scrubbed those Servant Genes from My Holy Gene Pool. Yours Truly, Emperor EL O EL aka the King of Kings Ps, Look into the Line of Grail Kings and Constitine, it's a Little le Strange;^D.

How lovely, my great grandfather was somewhere in Kent, England, and my grandmother was born in Gdansk germany was Prussia she came by ship to Baltimore md when she was 8 years old her sister fell over a railing and died aboard the ship and was buried at sea. Her father was a fresco artish and painted in the old Hippodrome theatre in Baltimore. His family in Prussia were very well off but lost everything in the war. My grandmother sister's death affected her terribly and could not speak of her later life so as a child in my teens when I spent alot of time with her I could not say anything of her early life. She always had rose gardens she loved roses and had the most wonderful white roses, they were huge. Her love of roses passed on to me, now that I am 80 I still love them and always wanted a rose garden I could tend to and had many. I would like to have white roses when I die which may be any time now, I get closer every day. I have an old picture I may have taken of my grandmother in a pretty white house dress in her rose garden which I cherish.

[@AnnaKarkowskaVirtuoso]

Thank you for sharing your family story! Just to let you know Gdansk- a port on Wistula and Baltic Sea was founded by Polish king Mieszko already in 10 th century! Till 1772 Gdansk was a very rich Polish city which was flourishing in trade as one of the most important ports in Europe. In 1772 Poland was attacked simultaneously by Prussia, Austria and Russia. Prussia in 1772 sized immediately Gdansk deporting part of rich Polish merchant and bringing saddlers from Germany. Poland was under occupation of Prussia, Russia and Austria for 123 years so was Gdansk but as Poland never lost its Polish identity. In 1918 Poland regained its independence but in much smaller version. Russia sized some Polish territory, Prussia did as well but Poles did not let Gdansk go. Prussians wonted it badly too. Gdansk become after heavy pertractations a FREE CITY but It was never German or Prussian.

What a let down, almost all Europeans are descended from Charlemagne, he had a lot of kids, who went on to have a lots of kids who went on to have a lot of kids... and that was almost 1300 years ago. Same goes for Genghis Khan, I think it's something like 0.5% of the world's population (37.7 million approx) is descended from him, and he lived mostly in the 12th century, 300-400 years after Charlemagne. In my opinion the show makers went to these experts and said "Find royalty in her tree, we don't care who it is.", so they just picked the line most likely from Europe and huzzah, you're related to Karl the Great.

Captain Thomas Trowbridge! Let's clarify some information about my 8th great-grandfather. Captain Thomas came to America in 1634, landing in Dorchester, Massachusetts. with my 8th great-grandmother, Elizabeth Marshall, and sons (Thomas and William) while leaving the 1st born son, John, and daughter, Elizabeth, with his parents. Youngest son, James was born in America. They moved to New Haven in circa 1639. Elizabeth died circa 1641. Captain Thomas was in the 1641 U.S. Census . By fall of 1641, Captain Thomas left his sons under the care of his steward, Henry Gibbons, who appeared to be an unfaithful servant who seized Thomas' property and deserted the three boys. Town records show where the boys were declared wards of the Colony in November, 1641 and the court placed them under the care of a nearby neighbor, Sergeant Thomas Jeffreys and his wife, who took them into their home to rear and educate until "such time as their father shall come over or send to take order concerning them."

All royal families & the banking cartel are generational Satanists inbred into one bloodline who've been controlling the world since ancient Egypt. The George Bush family is also inbred into this bloodline & so are the Kennedys. There are many other prominent families in the bloodline. They control all governments of the world, there is no exception to this rule. They decide when countries go to war for population control & profit. Up next is WW3 which is also based on lies. The most powerful weapons are Tesla Directed Energy HAARP weapons that are used to control all weather including hurricanes, tornadoes, drought & brutal winters. "Climate Change" is a sham. The day they stop engineering the weather is the day it returns to normal. I have a friend who worked at NASA on the HAARP project so I know for a fact this is not just a theory. HAARP frequency is also used to cause tsunamis, volcanic eruptions & earthquakes. The elite have no intention of destroying the earth they live on so the fact is nuclear weapons don't exist. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl & Fukushima are all out of public view so it was easy to pull off these elaborate hoaxes. Uranium & Plutonium are not the toxic elements they want you to believe. Nuclear physicist Galen Winsor who designed numerous nuclear power plants proves all governments are lying in his video NUCLEAR DANGER IS A HOAX !!! IT'S ONLY HEAT. Nuclear threat is a ruse to start WW3 to kill off billions. They are purposely destroying homes & crops. The "elite" think the current population is unsustainable so their goal is to kill off 6.8 billion people to reduce the world population down to a more controllable 500 million master n servant Orwellian utopia. The Good News is eventually God's Angels will destroy them. But first there will be Tribulation like never before in the history of the world. Not only do they control the weather but they also have many free energy technologies that are clean. They also have private islands where their Nazi scientists have created Beastly "Alien" looking hybrids to stage a fake War of the Worlds alien invasion. NASA's space exploration is a sham. It's impossible to pass thru the Van Allen Radiation Belt due to extreme heat. Another huge lie is "Western Medicine" Vaccines contain Aluminum, Mercury, Formaldehyde, endocrine Hormone disruptors & they are cultured in cell lines from aborted female fetuses which is why so many boys want to be girls & females want to be boys. Autopsies on Alzheimer's victims show toxic levels of Aluminum & Mercury on the brain. Alzheiner's, Parkinson's, Autism, ADHD, Epilepsy & many other "Diseases" are caused by heavy metal toxicity of the brain. Doctors who speak out are either fired or killed. Polio didn't cause paralysis DDT & other toxins did throughout history. All diseases are caused by toxins & poor nutrition.....THEY ARE NOT GENETIC ! Breast cancer is caused by toxic underarm deodorants & antiperspirants that build up in the lymph nodes right next to the breast but the Susan G Komen $$$ breast cancer foundation denies this fact because they don't want a cure.

My mothers last name is Royal (americanised from Royalé)- Her Great-Great-Grandfather was from Quebec and its rumored that we are descendants of French royalty ,but I dont know for sure. And i never will .

[@xKianaMariax]

If what I've read on those ancestry websites is correct, I'm a direct descendent of Charlemagne, Richard the Lionhearted, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Brian Boru. When you go back that far, you could be descended from anyone. There are supposed to be about 100,000 descendants of Pocahontas, and that's just going back to the 1600s.

[@JimmyOgilvie52]

I got Charlemagne AND Pocahontas! LOL

[@nigelsheppard2953]

Kiana Maria you can’t be a direct descendant of Richard the Lionheart because he had no children. You can be descended from his mother Elenor of Aquitaine and her husband Henry II and their son John.

[@ahmedzahir2865]

Nigel Sheppard didn't Richard the lionheart have an illegitimate child??, if so she could possibly be descended through this line.

[@rodney244]

Well I am Descendent from almost every european royalty, since they all were related. It starts for me back in the XIV century with the kings of Portugal and Spain, as well as the famouse crusaders leaders (Lusignan family, de Chatillon, and the brother of Godfrey of Bouillon, and the Bizantine emperor, then you got the french royalty and the english (normans and saxons) from Rollo wich was a viking, and then going further back I got Charlemagne as well, and the Carolingians were also descendent from the merovingians you can keep going until you reaches Merovech, well then you have the semi legendary kings, and if you go back, is going to go back to Priam of the Trojans, and before him you can reach Zeus!!! =P ...but that is supposed to be legend I am affraid. From other lines I go back to Pelayo the visigothic king that started the reconquista of Spain from the moors, I have from other line the kings of Persia, like Darius, Cirus the Great and so on. And from other line it reaches to Ramses II and Set I from Egypt. What about that? Almost forgot, and the Conquistadors of the Americas as well, the important families since colonial times in Brazil, known as Bandeirantes, so it is awesome at least. I forgot to mention, german Kings and Emperors such Frederik Barbarossa. One other day I reached the founders of Rome. Well of course, not everything that is written is correct, many mistakes, dubious patternety, etc had happen, but still, in most cases it should be correct.
