The Merovingians
Since, I made it this far I mind as well take you the whole Nine Yards. I will do my very best to give you the line of secession from Charles the Great otherwise known as "Charlemagne" through the Merovingian Dynasty. For me this is one of the more complex sections of genealogy because we are going back over Fifteen Hundred Years of recorded History and the sources are quite scarce. Never the less, I shall do my best to provide you with the most accurate accounting of my very distant great grandparents.
