Généalogie des Charlemagne
This chart shows the descendants of Charlemagne, King of the Franks and first Holy Roman Emperor.
The design places Charlemagne and his father, Pepin the Short, at the base of a tree trunk with descendants arrayed in the branches. Charlemagne united most of Western Europe during the early Middle Ages and laid the foundations for modern France and Germany.
RESEARCH NOTE: Do you like to collect genealogical memorabilia and ephemera? You can tell that the QHGS Blogger certainly does! Old charts like this are fun to look at, and they can inspire you to create new designs for your own “pedigrees from the present.” Next Saturday we will begin a new series called “What Does It Say?” that examines old documents in detail.
