European Recent Royal Ancestry from Charlemagne
GRANHOLM GENEALOGY EUROPEAN RECENT ROYAL ANCESTRY FROM CHARLEMAGNE INTRODUCTION Charlemagne is considered to be the founder of the present Europe and most European royalty descends from him. I t would take a volume to list all of them by starting from him. One of his descendants, 30 generations after him, is John William Friso, Prince of Orange and he is the ancestor of most of the more recent European royalty. This book has two lists, first the descendants from Charlemagne to him and our relationships to that lineage. The 11th generation, Vratislav II, King of Bohemia, had two wives, one leading to John William Friso and the other wife, Adelaida, Princess of Hungary, my 27th great grand mother, leads directly to us. That second list, with this lineage from Charlemagne to us, is at the end of this book. Some persons are highlighted indicating that biographical information is included in the text. John William Friso is the 18th cousin, 10 times removed. In the specific country listings, where he is listed as #1, the next person, #2 is the 19th cousin, 9 times removed, #3 is 20th cousin, 8 times removed, etc. In addition to the royal connections in this book, we are related, as described in other books, to the rulers of Hungary, Portugal and Prussia/Germany.
