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.

@frank-ko6de Charlemagne was not German ?????? I'm talking about King Charles III family tree. Which goes back to Charlemagne King of the Frank's who later became the French. However, Charlemagne was born in Leige in modern day Belgium, so not that far away and not Germany.

@frank-ko6de All our ancestors go back through millions of people through many centuries but they still lead directly to their descendants.

@pyropulseIXXI Our direct ancestors double each generation, meaning in 500 years we will have more than a million. However the further anyone traces their ancestry back the less individual ancestors they have. This is because more of your ancestors are related to each other. In fact 80% of historical marriages were to 2nd cousins or closer. In Royal circles this is even more true as they only married into other royal dynasties.

@HB-tw8wq Charles is actually already reigning now as we speak ! Also I don't think he is as unpopular as you think and even those who have reservations about him are prepared to give him a chance.

@carlalussini The Monarchy has no power, but they are the personification of the British nation, steeped in our historical past and traditions. "If you forget your past, you have no future"

@jonathanwilliams1065 No, he is the heir to Charlemagne but his domain stretches much further than Europe. King Charles is the head of state of 15 countries all around the globe and just one of them Australia, is as big as Europe.

@HB-tw8wq As soon as the Queen died he became King, the coronation is just a formality. I don't need the media to inform me, though I see you get all of your 'knowledge' from there.🤣🤣🤣

@Azaghal1988 Charlemagne was an Emperor and his Empire stretched all over western Europe. His capital city if Aachen was not in Germany, it was in Fancia. What is now Germany didn't exist untill 1871.

@latetotheparty4785 Thankyou for stating the obvious, but what was your point ?

@Baller474 The Frank's were a Germanic tribe, they were not German. The germanic peoples originated in Scandanavia.

@Baller474 Germany didn't exist until 1871 and the people that lived in that area didn't even consider themselves as one people.

@TTSSYF23 Yes of course, the term Scandinavia didnt exist back in time and neither did Germany. In fact the inhabitants of what we now call Germany were originally Celts. They were displaced by the Germanic peoples who migrated down from what we now call Scandinavia and in medieval times they were known as Norsemen.

@TTSSYF23 All the peoples of what is now Germany are descended from Indo Europeans including the Celts and the Northern germanic tribes. The Celts originated in the area around Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
1
@TTSSYF23 Yes, and that's because the Germanic peoples evolved in Scandanavia from the same indo Europeans as the Celts did, before spreading down into northern Germany and into Holland, France and Italy etc. The largest north germanic languages are still spoken in Scandanavia today.

@Rotebuehl1 At the time of the so called Anglosaxons there was no place called Germany. In fact Alfred the Great didn't refer to himself as Anglosaxon but Gewisse. Gewisse is considered to be a Brythonic word meaning hillfort. Also the house of Wessex was founded by Cynric another Brythonic name, so Alfred was most likely of at least part Brythonic descent. It was Bede who started referring to the Anglisch as Anglo saxons but this was hundreds of years later. The Germanic peoples originated in Scandinavia and the Angles came from modern day Denmark and the Saxons were from the nearby coastal region and were named after the knife they carried, they were an early Viking type of coastal raiders.

@AceticTWO You are getting confused, Germanic is not the same as German.
