Line of Descent from the Emperor Charlemagne
and the Plantagenet Kings of England
This descent is traced into antiquity, and is well documented to Merovech, founder of the Merovingian house of the Frankish Kings, who defeated Atilla the Hun in 451, and to Clovis “the Riparian,” Frankish King of Cologne, living in 420; passing down to Charlemagne, the famed Emperor of the West, who founded the great Carolingian Empire which dominated most of western and central Europe from 800 to 888.
