@@kjboulard Almost everyone can trace their lineage back to Charlemagne. Its actually more impressive at this point if you arent a descendent of charlemagne lmao
Catholic Family Center of Rochester, NY my adoption agency told me many lies. It also doesn't help that adopted people of NYS, as most other places in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Great Britain, Greece, France, South Korea, and elsewhere are severely discriminated. I was denied, like tens of millions of others in the United States, denied to know my heritage. You might be wondering, what does this have to do with this video? Well, I was lied to and told I came from a loving, but poor family that couldn't take care of me. After 13 years of an ardurous search I found a wealthy family that are absolutely awful, immoral, uncaring, cruel, mentally and emotionally abusive and damaging people. I did find some good people, like two biological paternal aunts and a few good extended biological maternal cousins. First, I need to explain that birthparent privacy is a lie. It is a lie, it is not on any law books, I would know this is my expertise, nor is it psychologically normal to not want anything to do with your child. People often are manipulated into losing their children to adoption with the false hope of getting pictures and letters, and occassional visits. Open adoption isn't legally enforceable, it's a gimmick. Others use it to legally abandon their children, and there is no guarantee of a safe and loving home, for tens of thousands of adopted children that is not the case whatsoever. So, if I could just keep your attention I'm almost done, it's compeletely false that all or most babies lost to adoption or legally abandoned are from destitute families. Many wealthy have tossed aside their children to upkeep a family image. We saw that in Downton Abbey, and most do not have happy endings like in Downton Abbey. Winston Churchill's illegitimate granddaughter, Rhonda Churchill, is one of them. His son fathered a child in the Kansas area and refused to acknowledge. Research Rhonda Churchill book, she gives ample factual evidence of how the FBI and the Churchill family covered up her existence. Remember the birthparent privacy lie was created by Georgia Tann, a 1950s human trafficker who sold and murdered dozens of babies and children to the elite. You can read about her in The Baby Thief. Finally, my biological family on both sides is a mess, minus the few cousins and two aunts. Narcissistic personality disorder and possibly anti social personality disorder seem extremely possible. Catholic Family Center lied to me and said I came from a poor, but loving family. No, I came from a family of wealth who wrote emails so nasty that my own biological mother was referred to by my local police department as "the coldest mother ever" and my police chief and former lieutenant came over worried I'd commit suicide. I was told by my own half sisters I should've remained a dirty secret and that adopted people don't deserve equality. Those who did try to get to know me either had extremely strange behavior or were bullied into not talking to me. There are no two sides to this story and I can document that. So, let me finish with this. I am the 38th great granddaughter of Charlemagne. I am related to every one on this chart. My 3rd great grandmother to my 38th great grandmother, Charlemagne's wife, were queens. I'm the 14th great granddaughter of Vlad the Impaler and my 32nd great grandfather is the pagan warlord or whatever who killed his brother King Wencelaus. My biological name was Schickler although the original spelling is Schichler, and most of the Schichlers are very nice to me. The Schicklers' my biological name are not. If they didn't want the truth told, they should've been kinder to me they had decades to do so. I just thought I'd share this here incase one wasn't aware that all of these houses are connected together. In an odd twist of events, my adoptive mom decided on an ancestral DNA test too and discovered we are 4th cousins biologically and she is a descendant of the Hapsburgs. The Hapsburgs line descends from an early saint in the Bible. My direct line is through the Mecklenburgs' of Germany but again connected to all other houses. I kind have wondered what my 14th great grandfather Vlad would've become if he had gotten therapy as a child, if therapy had existed back then. William Schichler my great grandfather who decided on a name change to Schickler for his 10 children, my a-hole burn in hell biological grandfather and great aunts and great uncles, was the son of a teenage girl who got pregnant by a Dutch prince who didn't want to recognize him as his child so he sailed to America, his horrible biological father the prince of the Netherlands, name I forget, is the one tied to all these lines.

It must be so cool to have your family history so well documented and going back hundreds of years. I have only ever been able to go back to the early 1800s in my family history with basically no info on the people. Only names and dates, and even they may not be right.
My family has been able to go back to about the year 900-1000, however it is still incomplete and not well documented. I managed to find back to 1400 on my own with a different line.
@@andrewbounds That is very cool, how were you able to do that? Is it just finding an unusual surname in your family and finding that it originates in that time/place. Documented etc
Yeah, here in Ireland most Catholics are lucky to get back to the 1860s and I think it's pretty much impossible to go back further with a non-significant family
It would be cool in a way, but I always thought it would also be really WEIRD to have the entire world know all the weirdos and assholes in your ancestry, like Henry VIII isn't just the crazy asshole from history who forcibly changed the religon of an entire country and started hundreds of years of religious warfare and strife just so he could marry his mistress...that guy is also your ANCESTOR. How do you even process that, I wonder?
"Ok Her Majesty Queen Anne is Dead we need a new monarch" "How About her half-brother James?" "What Faith is he" "Catholic" "How about a German 2nd cousin once removed?"
George I of Great Britain was the second cousin of Queen Anne and there was no removal. The original heiress presumptive was Sophia of Hanover, who was a first cousin once removed of Queen Anne (she was the daughter of James VI and I’s daughter Queen Elizabeth Stuart of Bohemia and thus, a first cousin of Charles I of England and James II of England (incidentally Elizabeth Stuart, was also the queen who the Gunpowder Plotters planned to place on the throne once they succeeded in their plan to kill James VI and I). However, Sophia died before she had the chance to ascend the throne, so her son Elector George Louis of Hanover ascended the throne as George I of Great Britain, thus bringing Hanover into a personal union with Great Britain. George was famously hated because he lacked the ability to speak English and this was used by the Jacobites to claim he was not the rightful King of Great Britain and several attempts were made by Jacobites during the reigns of both George I and George II to take the throne.
The Queen has died today, September 8th, 2022. After a 70 year reign, and most notably having served in the military during WW2 at the ripe age of 19. She served as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards in 1942. As an American who knows little to nothing about the England Monarchy, I can say today is a sad day. Rest In Peace, Queen Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, the second.
The problem with Wallis Simpson wasn't that she was an American, though that probably didn't help. It was that she had been divorced twice. The monarchy is the head of the church and the church did not recognize divorce.
@@bodassassin6387 The Pope wouldn't grant Henry what he wanted he wanted. So that's where the Church of England began. They also used the fact that Henry's older brother, Arthur had been married to Katherine for a time until he died. The marriage was viewed invalid/illegal.
@@bodassassin6387 Different times. Henry VIII was already a King and on top of that he had real power...he was very difficult to defy...so to say if you know what I mean. ;) By the time of Edward VIII monarchs were already stripped of their real power and were just figureheads more-less as they are today. That is the difference.
I feel pity for the Duke if Windsor, a weak man married to a dominating woman. In every photo of him after his marriage he looks depressed and miserable.
It's the 8th of September 2022, and Queen Elizabeth II has just passed away. I'm watching this video now to familiarise myself with the lineage of the Royal family.
@Mr. AILANE after this video, that seems plausible. Cripes, with it all laid out so nice it's still a cluster for some of the lineage. You just gotta fight Charles and beat him and you get the throne
Fun fact Aethlered the Unready's name/epithet doesn't come from the modern word unready, but the old English word unraed. His epithet is a play on words, since his name Aethlered means wise counsel, and unraed means poorly counsel. So translating his name you get Wise Counsel the Poorly Counseled.
They are all connected....and given the popularity and interest in everything Viking these days, and that William the Conquerer was a descendent of Rollo the Viking, being the first Duke of Normandy, the current royals have some Viking blood and DNA in their veins. From vikings to Bulgar czars.....every royal house in Europe, those still going and those who disappeared after WWI, are tied in one way or another and all had some part, for 1000+ years, in shaping the world as we know it today. For better or for worse.
@@sunnyjim1355 Yep everyone with Western European ancestors is pretty much garenteed to be descended from him. However it is proving the relation via genealogical records that's the hard part.
@@sunnyjim1355 yeah I'm pretty sure almost every mid and south European is a descendent of him. I did the research and it was a very long and interesting work (with many stories I read) until I went back to my 31th great grandfather William The Conqueror.
There are also many that had children that died in early childhood that haven't been mentioned, stillborn or miscarried (this video would never end if they were). Queen Anne is mentioned in this video as having one son who died at about age 10. She is also famous for her 17 pregnancies. It's not so much the having children part, its having them reach adulthood.

Isabella of Angouleme, wife to King John, was a member of the House of Taillefer in France. IIRC, another member of the House of Taillefer also came along to England in 1066 during the Norman Conquest. The surname in English eventually became Telfer, amongst other variants (including Telford, an unrelated name, through confusion). Matt Damon's dad was called David Telfer Damon (Matt Damon of " The Martian"). James Telfer designed what could go in to become a potential Mars habitat. And thus, some French counts can be linked to Mars :P

13:25: “the current Queen.”
That line packs a punch given the past week.
It's the 8th of September 2022, and Queen Elizabeth II has just passed away. I'm watching this video now to familiarise myself with the lineage of the Royal family.
@Mr. AILANE after this video, that seems plausible. Cripes, with it all laid out so nice it's still a cluster for some of the lineage. You just gotta fight Charles and beat him and you get the throne
Same
@Mr. AILANE, 😂😂😂
Ye good luck with that lol
Me too.
Me, coming here to re-understand the monarchy from Prince Philip's death.
Me 3 🤪🤪 I love watching these royal family history videos ❤❤
Basically... some bloke killed a man and from then on, we allow the distant family of the murderer to live in unbelievable luxury.
Same bruh
Me as well
RIP 99 yo passed on the 9th and 99th day of the year. Turn that frown upside down !
POV: You watching "the crown"
Omfg yes lmao I am
Well... This needs a slight update, lol.
Fun fact Aethlered the Unready's name/epithet doesn't come from the modern word unready, but the old English word unraed. His epithet is a play on words, since his name Aethlered means wise counsel, and unraed means poorly counsel. So translating his name you get Wise Counsel the Poorly Counseled.
King William the Conquorers wife (Matilda of Flanders) is also a descendant of King Alfred the Great.
They are all connected....and given the popularity and interest in everything Viking these days, and that William the Conquerer was a descendent of Rollo the Viking, being the first Duke of Normandy, the current royals have some Viking blood and DNA in their veins. From vikings to Bulgar czars.....every royal house in Europe, those still going and those who disappeared after WWI, are tied in one way or another and all had some part, for 1000+ years, in shaping the world as we know it today. For better or for worse.
I'm descended from King Alfred the Great too (in fact virtually EVERY English person is) it's just that you'd need a much bigger family tree.
@@sunnyjim1355 Yep everyone with Western European ancestors is pretty much garenteed to be descended from him. However it is proving the relation via genealogical records that's the hard part.
I am happy to have at least a drop of European blood. Both my great grandparents on my mother's side descended from Europe
@@sunnyjim1355 yeah I'm pretty sure almost every mid and south European is a descendent of him. I did the research and it was a very long and interesting work (with many stories I read) until I went back to my 31th great grandfather William The Conqueror.
a lot of these royals seem to have problems having kids
or they had girls and bastards
Let me introduce you to the term “incest” and you’ll find that that is the main reason why
There are also many that had children that died in early childhood that haven't been mentioned, stillborn or miscarried (this video would never end if they were). Queen Anne is mentioned in this video as having one son who died at about age 10. She is also famous for her 17 pregnancies. It's not so much the having children part, its having them reach adulthood.
C.s.p. I’m related to royal family on my dad side of the family
Or the chart shows male or female direct lines
After seventy years, her task and reign has ended, somewhat as the last of the monarchs. The Queen is dead, long live the king! sep 8th 2022
Very informative & interesting. Thank you.
Didn’t you leave out the party where King Henry Vlll’s wives made a band?
😂
I'm confused here
Ledbrook Cody it’s from a musical called Six.
Thanks for telling me 👍
They did not have a band

Rest in peace queen elizabeth ❤️
This is so cool. Every details. Every information on that piece of chart. What a magnificent talent
Catholic Family Center of Rochester, NY my adoption agency told me many lies. It also doesn't help that adopted people of NYS, as most other places in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Great Britain, Greece, France, South Korea, and elsewhere are severely discriminated. I was denied, like tens of millions of others in the United States, denied to know my heritage. You might be wondering, what does this have to do with this video? Well, I was lied to and told I came from a loving, but poor family that couldn't take care of me. After 13 years of an ardurous search I found a wealthy family that are absolutely awful, immoral, uncaring, cruel, mentally and emotionally abusive and damaging people. I did find some good people, like two biological paternal aunts and a few good extended biological maternal cousins. First, I need to explain that birthparent privacy is a lie. It is a lie, it is not on any law books, I would know this is my expertise, nor is it psychologically normal to not want anything to do with your child. People often are manipulated into losing their children to adoption with the false hope of getting pictures and letters, and occassional visits. Open adoption isn't legally enforceable, it's a gimmick. Others use it to legally abandon their children, and there is no guarantee of a safe and loving home, for tens of thousands of adopted children that is not the case whatsoever. So, if I could just keep your attention I'm almost done, it's compeletely false that all or most babies lost to adoption or legally abandoned are from destitute families. Many wealthy have tossed aside their children to upkeep a family image. We saw that in Downton Abbey, and most do not have happy endings like in Downton Abbey. Winston Churchill's illegitimate granddaughter, Rhonda Churchill, is one of them. His son fathered a child in the Kansas area and refused to acknowledge. Research Rhonda Churchill book, she gives ample factual evidence of how the FBI and the Churchill family covered up her existence. Remember the birthparent privacy lie was created by Georgia Tann, a 1950s human trafficker who sold and murdered dozens of babies and children to the elite. You can read about her in The Baby Thief. Finally, my biological family on both sides is a mess, minus the few cousins and two aunts. Narcissistic personality disorder and possibly anti social personality disorder seem extremely possible. Catholic Family Center lied to me and said I came from a poor, but loving family. No, I came from a family of wealth who wrote emails so nasty that my own biological mother was referred to by my local police department as "the coldest mother ever" and my police chief and former lieutenant came over worried I'd commit suicide. I was told by my own half sisters I should've remained a dirty secret and that adopted people don't deserve equality. Those who did try to get to know me either had extremely strange behavior or were bullied into not talking to me. There are no two sides to this story and I can document that. So, let me finish with this. I am the 38th great granddaughter of Charlemagne. I am related to every one on this chart. My 3rd great grandmother to my 38th great grandmother, Charlemagne's wife, were queens. I'm the 14th great granddaughter of Vlad the Impaler and my 32nd great grandfather is the pagan warlord or whatever who killed his brother King Wencelaus. My biological name was Schickler although the original spelling is Schichler, and most of the Schichlers are very nice to me. The Schicklers' my biological name are not. If they didn't want the truth told, they should've been kinder to me they had decades to do so. I just thought I'd share this here incase one wasn't aware that all of these houses are connected together. In an odd twist of events, my adoptive mom decided on an ancestral DNA test too and discovered we are 4th cousins biologically and she is a descendant of the Hapsburgs. The Hapsburgs line descends from an early saint in the Bible. My direct line is through the Mecklenburgs' of Germany but again connected to all other houses. I kind have wondered what my 14th great grandfather Vlad would've become if he had gotten therapy as a child, if therapy had existed back then. William Schichler my great grandfather who decided on a name change to Schickler for his 10 children, my a-hole burn in hell biological grandfather and great aunts and great uncles, was the son of a teenage girl who got pregnant by a Dutch prince who didn't want to recognize him as his child so he sailed to America, his horrible biological father the prince of the Netherlands, name I forget, is the one tied to all these lines.
I do t even have the words for how amazingly in-depth this chart is. Wow. Well done. Makes me go cross-eyed and my head hurt a little bit, but I absolutely love this kind of genealogy. Keep up the good work!!
"Beheaded, Divorced, Died; Beheaded, Divorced, Survived!"

We are here after the Queen announced death 😭
Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you. Explained so clear and and at a great slow pace, I will definitely be re-watching!
It is deserved, must be or it wouldn't be this way.. chosen by gods!! The best of us humans is represented in them probably... malevolent does not come from royals in my opinion " it is something more hidden and not connected in any way possible to royals.. no evil shows or is public or stands by its people as its been .. my simple opninion as a simple servant of fellow humans
Death: *exists*

Absolute monarchy in England was abolished in 1689.
Your president has more direct power than our constitutional Queen.
@@gordonsmith8899 That is an Illusion, the UK Government is formed in the Crowns name. If they pulled all the ceremonial stops they could dissolve parliament and call for a new election.
@@samsmith2635
Agreed, it's Her Majesty's Government and Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition but the reality is the Royal powers are not exercised.
The P.M. decides when to call an election
Sam Smith And if Johnny English taught me anything, it’s that the Queen has the power to seize any land she wishes
Such a brilliant channel
Who is here after queen's death
Over a 1000 years, that's a pretty powerful family.The influence and control they must have right now is pretty overwhelming.
They pull all the strings in the background. World leaders bow to Her Majesty The Queen at world summits.
Families.
They hardly have any power at all. H M Queen Elizabeth is only a constitutional monarch and figure head while still at the same time being much loved around the world.

Great explanation of the Royal Family tree! Thank you! 👍😊🇨🇦
You should make a Family Tree Chart for all the various Kingdoms of the british Isles.
Agree, but not only a family tree but also including maps and other fun and relevant facts (religion etc.)
If my history teacher played this I probably would’ve hated it but since I searched for it I like it
Sir, thank you so much, this is utterly brilliant, informative and engaging. I'm now heading over to buy your poster. I find it incredible almost that a line of succession can be decided upon a whim of religion or a debate about who fancies the job or not.
I’m loving this channel. Subbed and spreading the word. Love from India. 🇮🇳

this is not helping my demons
Dang bro your channel got fucking DUMPSTERED by the algorithm
Omg i freaking love your channel lol hiii im subbed

Cheers for this mate 😎
My family tree is like if you had an already small tree, cut it in half vertically, and Flex Taped a whole other tree to it.
I LOVED THIS!!! I have royalty in my family tree and have spent 26 years working on it. Now I am a student (at the age of 70) of English history, the Middle Ages, the Crusaders and on and on. Just fascinating!! Thank you for the wonderful poster and video.

King John saw the defeat of England at the hands of France 3 times in his lifetime (2 of those in his reign). The guy had a rough life lol.
Who’s watching this now that King Charles III is the new king as of today?
Wonderful explanation
Nice...

Love and light upon Europe. God bless you
Isabella of Angouleme, wife to King John, was a member of the House of Taillefer in France. IIRC, another member of the House of Taillefer also came along to England in 1066 during the Norman Conquest. The surname in English eventually became Telfer, amongst other variants (including Telford, an unrelated name, through confusion). Matt Damon's dad was called David Telfer Damon (Matt Damon of " The Martian").
James Telfer designed what could go in to become a potential Mars habitat.
And thus, some French counts can be linked to Mars :P
Taillefer was the first to be killed at hastings apparently.
thanks Mat for an amazing chart as always. Happy new year!
Excellent history lesson, love the timeline. Fantastic stuff.
Very interesting. Thank you
How I wish that I know who was my great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandparents....
Me too. 😔
That's 16 generations back. So you have 32,768 of them. And even Royals have no clue about nearly all of their ancestors.
@@nuiadngnsdnge2673 we always think of hardship as peasants. And royals think of as hardship as royals. We all have different trials in life. As a peasant, at least we don't have to be abdicated and killed like some royals . Our life is not always in danger. We less likely to be assassinated.
Don’t be, at least you have good teeth! 😂

Thank you - I am a huge fan of this history and it can indeed get so confusing. Your chart and tutorial made it easy to follow and understand. Seeing really does aid in learning! This was one of the most incredible history lessons I have ever had the privilege to listen to. I hope you are a teacher somewhere so that kids are benefiting from your knowledge and approach!!! Meet it up! And thank you, again!
