Your video inspired me to look up why "Charles the Simple" had such an unflattering name. In that time, "Simple" meant direct or straightforward, without the hint of being feeble-minded.
-
UK: abolishes the monarchy The queen: moves to continental Western Europe and reestablishes the Frankish Empire
-
So who's going to tell King Charles he's the Carolingian Emperor?
-
I have Charlemagne in my blood line through Charles the Simple, so I'm just here to find out who wants to help me uh... reclaim my family heritage "peacefully" and who needs to "step-aside."
-
What a fun thought experiment! Once we got to the House of Wettin I had a feeling I knew where this was gonna end. Congrats on 1 million!
-
Minor correction: Charlemagne's wife, Hildegard of the Vinzgau, has not been canonised, only beatified. Accordingly, she is (if anything) Blessed Hildegard, not Saint Hildegard. The latter generally refers to Saint Hildegard of Bingen, a mystic nun.
-
We did it boys, we have Charlemagne back to the throne!
-
After the recent death of Queen Elizabeth II, her son Charles becomes King Charles III of Great Britain and his reign will be know as the Carolean period, similar to his ancestor Charlemage. Who according to your research, Charles III is his most senior living descendant. How absolutely fascinating, that after all these centuries the fruit hasn't fallen far from the tree.
-
Previously I guessed it would end up with a stranger in Australia or the US, but the actual result is surprising and much more interesting 😀
-
Mind is blown and now he is King. Crazy
-
I'm going to become a history teacher soon, and when I do. I am going to have your charts in my room. I think that they are a truly great resource for learning and putting history into perspective. Keep the great content coming
-
As a Brit that was fun, true or not. I have spent years following and researching particular family histories and related events but you have given me new ideas. My searches struggle to get beyond the year 1600 AD.
-
What a perfect video to celebrate 1 million; I actually physically gasped and went "NO WAY" at the end there :D
-
Apparently my great-great-aunt had done the chart that traced us back to the man himself, but after she passed, no one could find it! I just accept that he's the father of Europe as we know it and go from there.

Love your channel!! I just ordered five of your charts from your website. Am looking forward to them arriving! Thank you!
-
Fascinating! Thank you for this production! Just received my chart from dear Canadian friend Theo A. who is royalty in my book!
-
Question: if you were generally following semi-Salic Law, why did you follow Beatrice's line instead of backing up and going down Raymond's line to Spain?
-
Charlemagne: "I spill the blood of Saxon men." Charles Windsor: incoherently talking to his pot plants
-
Love how you came to your conclusion! Can buy into it!
