The earliest known bearer of a name I am researching Luffman (Leofman) a thane of Hayling Island had it confiscated by Harold Earl of Wessex in 1065. Not been able to join the dots yet though!

William the Conqueror was illegitimate but depending which history book you care to read and thus who was his grandfather, if you pick the right one you can go straight back via Charlemagne to the Romans.

It's all based on Poppa being Rollo's wife and not Aegidia, its through Poppa that historians and genealogist follow a direct path back to Charlemagne.  Poppa would be William I 3rd Great grandmother. So Charlemagne would be a distant relative of William.

Thinking about it, the whole thing is a bit of a mess. Other historians cite Pepin, Count of Vermandois (c815-?)  has being the Great grandson of Charlemagne.  But he is Williams 6th Great grandfather on the other side to Rollo.




I'm glad this lot dont get involved in out trees LOL !

One big happy family, eh Diarmuid.

That'd be a first. Nice thought though ;)

The link has full citation. All the major familys I link through are already in Debretts.  Several books have been written about each family ( both historic and genealogical ).

To be honest, I'm not really into the Debretts or Burkes directorys.  But I have a sneaky idea it will cost to get an entry into any of these publications if like me, you hail from a London council estate LOL !.
