Charlemagne

In researching my family, I have traced my lineage back to Charlemagne, King of Franks ( I am his 28th generation great-granddaughter) and continued to trace the lineage back even farther.

Charlemagne, or Charles the Great, was king of the Franks between 768 and 814, and emperor of the West between 800 and 814. He founded the Holy Roman Empire, strengthened European economic and political life, and promoted the cultural revival known as the Carolingian Renaissance. Charlemagne's rule greatly influenced Europe's push to create a unique civilization different from that of Rome or other ancient empires.
