The Harry Potter family tree doesn't connect Harry to the Peverells by the cloak of invisibility, the last Peverell holder, Iolanthe, married the son of the founder of the Potter Family, with their children inheriting the cloak
Hi Matt, first of, congratulations for reaching 500k! I'm very happy for you! secondly, i was the one who made the Romeo and Juliet chart, i thought you wouldn't accept it because not everyone on it was related lol, but I'm still happy that i made it regardless :D
Funnily enough the creator of the Addams family, Charles Addams, is distantly related to the presidential Adams family. Although, the fictional Addams would be horrified to be tied to anything as pedestrian as government lol.
Congrats on 500k! As the one who made the Lord of the Rings Hobbit chart, I can tell you for certain that Bilbo and Frodo are first cousins once removed on their mothers' side, and second cousins once removed on their fathers' side. Very happy seeing it featured!
If you're interested (it's been a year), you could add more details like 1. the kings of Numenor, starting with Elros, and ending with Ar-Pharazon. The kings of Gondor and Arnor are related to them via the Lords of Andunie, who are Elendil's ancestors. 2. the fact that Elros's brother is Elrond of Rivendell, who's the father of Arwen, which makes her and Aragorn first cousins at least 60 times removed. 3. There's also an entire elven family tree that can be extended with Elros and Elrond, including some of the major characters like Beren, Luthien, Galadriel, Celeborn, and others. 4. If you really want to, one of the kings of Gondor, Eldacar, had the daughter of the king of Rhovanion, Vidugavia, as his mother. Vidugavia is the direct ancestor to the kings of Rohan, all the way down to Theoden and Eomer. Eomer's sister Eowyn married Faramir, son of Denethor, so you could include the stewards of Gondor through this connection. In addition, Eomer himself married the daughter of Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth, (who in turn is also Faramir's uncle) thus giving a connection to that line as well.
Princess Inaara (Gabriele Thyssen) who appears in the Aga Khan chart is actually the ex-wife of Karl Emich, who recently featured in your "Who would be Tsar of Russia?" video. She is from the (commoner) industrialist family of Thyssen, who founded part of the modern Thyssen-Krupp conglomerate. His morganatic marriage to her actually cost him the inheritance of his title, because his father disowned him, and as you can see the marriage didn't even last. It's really incredible how these things are connected.
@@UsefulCharts The Krupp’s are interesting. Manchester wrote a good book on them. Biggest industrialists in Europe for a long time and they married into some nobility... Bollen und Halbach?
I've made the simple geneological tree of the Spanish Royal family, I've also sent my trees of the portuguese and english Royal families,quite happy for one of my trees appearing,lovely video,loved it
29:34 I never heard of the aga khans before this video, and I just spent a solid half hour reading about them on the internet. Fascinating people with crazy marriages and affairs.
You are right, the o'Hara family tree at 13:40 comes from the Disney Mickey Mouse comics. Seamus o'Hara is the police chief that often appears in the comics with Mickey Mouse. I tried to compress over 80 years of comics from all over the world in a coherent family tree, in a way similar to Gilles Maurice and Don Rosa's works. This tree is also part of a pair. In this one, called CANON, I only inserted the explicitly stated members of Seamus and Petulia family. Thenin the second, named FANON, I added my personal ideas about how the characters relate (a lot of this are vague "nephew" or "cousin") and added other characters that could be related. Both of them can be found on ClasseFcrittori DeviantArt page (I reposted this comment with my personal account because I think my Classe:Fcrittori account has been autobanned when I added the DeviantArt link)
That European Royal Families Chart was also arranged geographically, going from Portugal (west/left) to the Ottoman Empire (right/east).Very well done.
Although it's very difficult to connect it to much of my other knowledge, it really makes me want to research about history of South America from ancient to medieval to modern and grasp it as well as I do European History. I know a little about the Portuguese Empire, the wars of Simon Bolivar, and the Incas, Aztecs, Mayans, and Olmecs, but it's very disjointed. It would be superb if your channel could focus especially hard on connecting the dots to the places they're supposed to be connected to----including Alaska, Russia, Mongolia and China migration over the land bridge of course because the precolombian times don't connect across the Atlantic but across the Pacific. I want to understand it as well as any hobby enthusiast has time for.
I did some digging recently and discovered that my ancestors were close relatives of the Schuylers from colonial New York. I looked further into them and found they have connections to other significant families like the Bushes, Butlers, And Livingstons. I might try to make a chart on them
Late to the party but I can't believe my tree (Andretti) made it in! It was something I was working on when the submissions came through, so I sent it over. Hopefully I'll get back to that with more details sooner or later
@@Kitsunekone well, the house was exiled from Lucca after converting to calvinism, some fled to Switzerland, others in the Two Sicilies, so unfortunately it isn't a noble house anymore
I am the many great+ grandson of the founders of Guam. But since this is a small little island, I guess you can say I'm related to everyone who have set foot on the island and had a family lol. I have Austronesian, Spanish, Asian, and Mexican blood in me, so that is why my mom wields the legendary slipper and broom and why my brother has slanted eyes, and why my now dying language has some Spanish words in it
14:15 Courland is basiclly modern day Latvia. FYI Courland briefly had colonies on Tobago and in Gambia. The last Duke ceded it to Russia in 1795. The duchy was "independent" for about 10 months in 1918 as a puppet state of the German Empire.
These are all amazing Charts. Thx for showing my Hohenzollern tree :D (the first one) Sadly I send my House Capet a little too late and it didnt made it into the Video. Maybe next time, keep it up!
@@Lord_Raymund I didnt either. The most interesting part is that the head of the house of hohenzollern is not the descendant of the Prussian Kings, or the Romanian ones. Its a completely different dude.
Oh my god, that Holy Roman Empire chart is amazing! Is there any way I can download or buy a copy of it? I could really use that as a history teacher in, you guessed it, Germany!
I made it in! I was the one who made the Lion King family tree. And yes, that is the extended universe. So scars followers/descendants are from Lion King 2 and Simba's descendants as well as The Lion Guard and the tree of life are from that show too.
I wish I'd known about this before! I was going to see if I could make a Filipino mythology tree or some other Philippines-related chart. Edit: Ey, nice to see a shoutout to the Filipino Geneaology channel!
Happy so many subscribers! I'm a big fan of yours, I arrived to your channel some time ago searching for videos about genealogy, being an amateur genealogist myself. Your video titled "How I made my charts" or so showed up, and it was not what I was looking for, but anyhow it was a happy finding since from it I came to knew not just your videos but a lot of other history channels. Just hearing your voice for me is so pleasant, I just genuinely get dissapointed when I found the video of the week is narrated by Jack Rackham or someone else hahahaha. I'm so sorry I missed your asking for submissions, since I've been working on one chart of the heroes from the Greek epic cycles and another one of Spanish conquistadores showing the kin relationships, that perhaps would have resulted interesting for you and the fellow watchers of your videos. I supposed I will submit them when you make the special for the Million of subscribers! Anyhow I loved this video, I love your work and I sincerely wish you success in everything.
@UsefulCharts 21:00 bellatrix’s daughter is only in the cursed child stage play. Thats why you may be confused about her. Also, the part on the top far right was the founders of the american school of witchcraft and wizardry, ilvermorny
I'd love a chart of all the descendants of the Kings of Wessex because I'm related to several of them, including Edward the Elder. In fact, I'm related to a lot of French, German, and English nobility, including many kings and Dukes. I'm even related to Attila the Hun, many Roman Consuls and Proconsuls, Julius Caesar's brother's daughter, and Mark Antony. There might be more but I don't have the time to complete explore the tree.
I've got the same ancestors via the French, Scottish and English royal familys once you connect you family tree to a royal you can find all sorts of ancestors it's amazing and shows how we are all related all be it distantly
In the last book, Harry is the godfather of Lupin's son Teddy so the possible part should not be there. Also, Voldermort's daughter came from the play which many people do not consider canon.
The Duchy of Courland (aka Kurland), was one of the vassal states of the Teutonic Knights in the Baltic, resulting from the Northern Crusades of the 13th Century. The House of von Biron was a Family of the Baltic Nobility.
I'm sad the Pocahontas tree didn't include the Kennons. The Kennons and Bollings were so interwoven and connected they were basically just one big co-dynasty.
Here's a suggestion. The book "TARZAN ALIVE!" by Philip Jose Farmer includes a genealogical chart connecting Lord Greystoke to a whole host of other (mostly fictional) characters from adventure stories. In order to fit it on a single page (mass-market paperback size), he used numbered circles connected by lines, with a numbered list associated with the 'skeleton' chart. It would be cool to see the same chart done in your style, with pictures of each character included, taken from illustrated versions of the various heroes in Tarzan's family tree (as imagined by Mr. Farmer).
Not only is the chart “Iberian Royal Family Tree” every bit as fascinating as you point out, there appears to me-and I think most people can probably discern it-a spiral shape when viewing the chart from a certain distance, an illusion created by clusters of nearly-overlapping labels that seem to be linearly “wound around” a looser arrangement of labels that altogether look like a central axis or “spine” vertically oriented. To me it looks like the ‘coil’ is wrapped around this ‘axis’ three, maybe four turns, winding down almost to points towards the terminal poles at top and bottom of the chart. The more I look at it, the clearer it appears to me-almost to the point of wondering if the creator arranged the labels in such a way on purpose. If chi did, chi’s really clever! What it reminds me of is the helical shape of the DNA molecule-which seems apropos since both the chart and DNA are about the succession of genes along a chronological chain of custody. Charts as detailed as this one allude to a kind of ecosystem of (supposedly) blood relationships over time and space. Another, bigger pattern seems to superimpose an allegorical phylogenic tree -that is, the extinction of a royal house is allegory to the extinction of a whole group of animals, or plants, &c at the much longer evolutionary timescale. So cool! I was talking shop with my book-publisher brother-in-law after a winter-holiday dinner some years ago. He wished he knew what book topics people were going to be interested in so he could publish them in good time for the next gift-giving season. I told him something I’ve long noticed: young and old, rich or poor, people are fascinated with maps, so he published a coffee table book with beautiful historical maps of Canada printed on very high-quality colour plates. Each copy was big, heavy and expensive-but they sold out almost immediately and, I believe, it went to subsequent printings. In that context, it was like a codexed tree-chart of map-charts chronologically arranged so’s to chart the evolution of Canada-and it really put the ‘art’ in poly-dimensional ‘cartography.’ This channel appears on my feed from time to time and sometimes I check it out. But this particular edition (which I just happened to watch) is extra fascinating and puts the principle of inclusivenesses which I like into practice. The result is almost taxonomical in itself! And I’ll bet there’s an inspiring story or two in there, as well. I’m now a subscriber.
Absolutely amazing. To everyone who made a chart I want to Thank you so much. Thank you UsefulCharts. I know nothing of my family on either side. But seeing the Charts in some small way let's me think that in some way I have family. Past and Present. Congratulations on making 5000 k. Everyone Please stay safe and healthy. Take care of each other.
5:00 THis chart is very interesting, because it shows a potential link between the germanic dynasties of antiquity and the Kings of Spain. There are a few question marks, so I guess some links are quite speculative. But if it where true, then King Bermudo I. of Asturias (and therefore all his decendants, including a large part of european nobility) was not only a decendant of King Clovis of the Franks, but also of Liuvigild and his son Reccared I., who ruled the Visigothic Kingdom during it's hight of power.
Some fun little details with Harry Potter family tree related to British royal family: - The Malfoy family's patriarch at the time was part of William the Conqueror's army. William gave him the land where Malfoy Manor would be built. We've seen the manor in the seventh film. - King Henry VI had an advisor/courtier who's a rabbit. Said rabbit was believed to be a French witch who's also an animagus (wizard/witch who can shapeshift into animal for as long as they like) who escaped persecution from her home country. In any case, Henry's having a rabbit as an advisor is why he's deemed mad. - The near headless ghost was an English knight named Sir Nicholas who was a member of King Henry VII's court. He was executed for mistakenly transforming a tooth of one of Henry's court ladies into a tusk. - Queen Mary I aka the Bloody Mary was in fact a witch. - Queen Anne Boleyn was believed to be a witch. Other rumors said she's instead a Squib (someone who's not a wizard/witch, but had one or both parents who are wizards) - A member of Malfoy family named Lucius (the namesake of Lucius Malfoy we saw in the main series) wanted to marry Queen Elizabeth I, but she spurned him. This upset him enough to jinx Elizabeth into never wanting to marry, thus earning her the nickname 'Virgin Queen'. However, this claim is disputed by later generations of Malfoys due to the lack of evidence. - When King George III suffered mental illness, the British Prime Minister, Lord North, contacted the Minister for Magic to ask him a cure for the King. But this caused a rumor about the Prime Minister believing in magic, forcing him to resign. In real-life, Lord North resigned from the PM office following a defeat in a battle during American Revolutionary War. - Queen Victoria was close to the Minister for Magic at the time, though never finding out that she's a witch. When Queen Victoria died, the Minister for Magic at the time, an elderly man, attended the funeral and didn't dress properly (Ministry of Magic officials in general are expected to dress properly like a muggle when they're in muggle environment, so it's embarrassing when the Minister for Magic, the head of British wizarding government, himself did it wrongly). The Wizengamot (wizarding supreme court) subsequently suggested him to retire. - An unknown wizard or witch transformed Queen Elizabeth II's corgwyn into a hamster. This alerted the Minister for Magic enough to investigate.
The witcher is a fictional book/game series. It has 3 video games, all being very respected and highly praised, and it recently got its own netflix tv show, which i gotta say is pretty good so far
This has come up recently due to the success of the series "Bridgerton", which included a black actress playing the queen, as well as many other black actors in the roles of noblemen. This was not historically correct, by any means, but a chart on Charlotte, who supposedly had Moorish ancestors, would be interesting. Moorish does not necessarily mean black, though, but refers to the Muslims of northern Africa and the Iberian peninsula.
this was great fun, matt! really enjoyed the mix of real world and fictional (you've inspired me to tinker with fictional ones myself, as a comic book fan). great work to everyone who has attempted this; no small feat!
in our office, we have multiple databases that together total over half a million entries of historical people, mostly in the region of switzerland and southern germany. but as they tend to not be nobles, they basically all individually had to be found and documented in handwritten bapismal, marital and death records of the church, which tend to go back to about 1600. these records were to a large part gathered by the people working for our small office but we did also buy the life-works of three retired genealogists who were very well known in the genealogist communities back then. as these people are documented in hundrets of different families that are in many cases not connected to eachother in our data yet, we can of course not quite create a family tree with that many entried. but we do have some family trees with multiple thousand members. but as they arent nobles or part of some sort of well known fictional universe, they are probably not that interesting to youtube viewers
If you want to try your hand at making charts like the ones in this video, here's a tutorial: th-cam.com/video/YBul-0jhSGE/w-d-xo.html

Seamus o'Hara is the police chief that often appears in the comics with Mickey Mouse.
I tried to compress over 80 years of comics from all over the world in a coherent family tree, in a way similar to Gilles Maurice and Don Rosa's works.
This tree is also part of a pair. In this one, called CANON, I only inserted the explicitly stated members of Seamus and Petulia family. Thenin the second, named FANON, I added my personal ideas about how the characters relate (a lot of this are vague "nephew" or "cousin") and added other characters that could be related.
Both of them can be found on ClasseFcrittori DeviantArt page
(I reposted this comment with my personal account because I think my Classe:Fcrittori account has been autobanned when I added the DeviantArt link)
That European Royal Families Chart was also arranged geographically, going from Portugal (west/left) to the Ottoman Empire (right/east).Very well done.
Wow! Thank you for featuring my Maya Dynasties Chart! I'm thrilled that you liked it!
It was very awesome!
Although it's very difficult to connect it to much of my other knowledge, it really makes me want to research about history of South America from ancient to medieval to modern and grasp it as well as I do European History. I know a little about the Portuguese Empire, the wars of Simon Bolivar, and the Incas, Aztecs, Mayans, and Olmecs, but it's very disjointed.
It would be superb if your channel could focus especially hard on connecting the dots to the places they're supposed to be connected to----including Alaska, Russia, Mongolia and China migration over the land bridge of course because the precolombian times don't connect across the Atlantic but across the Pacific.
I want to understand it as well as any hobby enthusiast has time for.
@@matthewferrantino9521 would you be willing to make the pdf avalble i loved your use of the mayan text for each ruler
@@kevinscovell3061 Send me a message and I will gladly get you a copy of the chart.
Great video. Congratulations on 500K! I made the Mercian Family Tree. I made two other versions (Wessex & Northumbria).
Well done!
Very nice 👌
i Would love the pdf if you want to make it public
Congratz on half a million subs, i was the guy that made the first swedish monarchy chart the one from Erik the Victorious to Carl XVI Gustaf.
Good job!
Your chart was incredible

I did some digging recently and discovered that my ancestors were close relatives of the Schuylers from colonial New York. I looked further into them and found they have connections to other significant families like the Bushes, Butlers, And Livingstons. I might try to make a chart on them
That means you may be a Dutchie!!

Late to the party but I can't believe my tree (Andretti) made it in! It was something I was working on when the submissions came through, so I sent it over. Hopefully I'll get back to that with more details sooner or later
I’m very proud of all of you who took the time to actually do this. I’ve looked very far back in my family tree, and it is very hard work. Good job!
You inspired me in working on my family tree, I've found that my ancestors were a noble house in Tuscany, during the renaissance
yoooo ezio auditore
Can you claim that house for your own, or are you too far removed to have any say?
@@Kitsunekone well, the house was exiled from Lucca after converting to calvinism, some fled to Switzerland, others in the Two Sicilies, so unfortunately it isn't a noble house anymore
@@frafrafrafrafra Ah, okay.
I am the many great+ grandson of the founders of Guam. But since this is a small little island, I guess you can say I'm related to everyone who have set foot on the island and had a family lol. I have Austronesian, Spanish, Asian, and Mexican blood in me, so that is why my mom wields the legendary slipper and broom and why my brother has slanted eyes, and why my now dying language has some Spanish words in it
Love Matt's reaction to The Cursed Child.
These are all so impressive! Thank you for taking the time to show them, and congratulations!
14:15 Courland is basiclly modern day Latvia. FYI Courland briefly had colonies on Tobago and in Gambia. The last Duke ceded it to Russia in 1795. The duchy was "independent" for about 10 months in 1918 as a puppet state of the German Empire.
The original owners of the cloak of Invisibility are blood relatives to Harry Potter
So the first deathly hallow harry uses is the cloak
These are all amazing Charts.
Thx for showing my Hohenzollern tree :D (the first one) Sadly I send my House Capet a little too late and it didnt made it into the Video. Maybe next time, keep it up!
That one was awesome, i dident know the split between the prussian kings and the kings in Romania was so far back.
@@Lord_Raymund I didnt either. The most interesting part is that the head of the house of hohenzollern is not the descendant of the Prussian Kings, or the Romanian ones. Its a completely different dude.
@@GanoGaming how is it?
Good job with your chart. I loved the artwork and style.
Oh my god, that Holy Roman Empire chart is amazing! Is there any way I can download or buy a copy of it? I could really use that as a history teacher in, you guessed it, Germany!
congrats on 500k!!! it’s very well-deserved. keep up the awesome work :)
I made it in!
I was the one who made the Lion King family tree.
And yes, that is the extended universe.
So scars followers/descendants are from Lion King 2 and Simba's descendants as well as The Lion Guard and the tree of life are from that show too.
Thats cool, but its a bit confusing without pictures.
@@Lord_Raymund Yeah I should've
I wish I'd known about this before! I was going to see if I could make a Filipino mythology tree or some other Philippines-related chart.
Edit: Ey, nice to see a shoutout to the Filipino Geneaology channel!
Happy so many subscribers!
I'm a big fan of yours, I arrived to your channel some time ago searching for videos about genealogy, being an amateur genealogist myself. Your video titled "How I made my charts" or so showed up, and it was not what I was looking for, but anyhow it was a happy finding since from it I came to knew not just your videos but a lot of other history channels. Just hearing your voice for me is so pleasant, I just genuinely get dissapointed when I found the video of the week is narrated by Jack Rackham or someone else hahahaha.
I'm so sorry I missed your asking for submissions, since I've been working on one chart of the heroes from the Greek epic cycles and another one of Spanish conquistadores showing the kin relationships, that perhaps would have resulted interesting for you and the fellow watchers of your videos. I supposed I will submit them when you make the special for the Million of subscribers! Anyhow I loved this video, I love your work and I sincerely wish you success in everything.
It's currently midnight, and I was excited to see this. Then I saw this was an hour long! Gotta watch later
Matt please can you make this a kind of series reviewing fansubmitted family trees (obviously the videos will be not as long as this)
The Witcher is a polish book series, now a video game and Netflix show
Hi Matt! Congratulations on reaching 500k subscribers! I made the Inca chart and was really proud of what you said. Keep up the good work!
Your chart was great!
can i buy it as a like poster?
As a Filipina subscriber, I got really excited seeing the Filipino genealogy channel. Thanks for recommending it!
Thank you very much Matt for mentioning me in your video!
Your channel is really good. You deserve way more subs.
@UsefulCharts 21:00 bellatrix’s daughter is only in the cursed child stage play. Thats why you may be confused about her. Also, the part on the top far right was the founders of the american school of witchcraft and wizardry, ilvermorny
I'd love a chart of all the descendants of the Kings of Wessex because I'm related to several of them, including Edward the Elder. In fact, I'm related to a lot of French, German, and English nobility, including many kings and Dukes. I'm even related to Attila the Hun, many Roman Consuls and Proconsuls, Julius Caesar's brother's daughter, and Mark Antony. There might be more but I don't have the time to complete explore the tree.
How do you even know that?
I've got the same ancestors via the French, Scottish and English royal familys once you connect you family tree to a royal you can find all sorts of ancestors it's amazing and shows how we are all related all be it distantly
this must be a joke, because we all are and you are saying that because we know that
I am really impressed by the technical quality of the contributions.
You deserve this, well done. Thank you for interesting me in my genealogy.
Kudos to all who made the great charts!
In the last book, Harry is the godfather of Lupin's son Teddy so the possible part should not be there. Also, Voldermort's daughter came from the play which many people do not consider canon.
Love that you are shouting out other youtube creators.
On the Harry Potter family tree, the Potter family are blood descendants of the Peverell family.
But througha cognatic line. Also, all Potters before Harry were purebloods.
Awesome vid, hope more stuff like this in the future
Congrats on 500k it is well deserved!

The Duchy of Courland (aka Kurland), was one of the vassal states of the Teutonic Knights in the Baltic, resulting from the Northern Crusades of the 13th Century. The House of von Biron was a Family of the Baltic Nobility.

I'm sad the Pocahontas tree didn't include the Kennons. The Kennons and Bollings were so interwoven and connected they were basically just one big co-dynasty.
Here's a suggestion. The book "TARZAN ALIVE!" by Philip Jose Farmer includes a genealogical chart connecting Lord Greystoke to a whole host of other (mostly fictional) characters from adventure stories. In order to fit it on a single page (mass-market paperback size), he used numbered circles connected by lines, with a numbered list associated with the 'skeleton' chart. It would be cool to see the same chart done in your style, with pictures of each character included, taken from illustrated versions of the various heroes in Tarzan's family tree (as imagined by Mr. Farmer).
Well, my good sir, you suit your voice tbh (and in a good way) this is the first time seeing what you look like
Watching this on 2/21/22. Over a million now. Congrats.
Not only is the chart “Iberian Royal Family Tree” every bit as fascinating as you point out, there appears to me-and I think most people can probably discern it-a spiral shape when viewing the chart from a certain distance, an illusion created by clusters of nearly-overlapping labels that seem to be linearly “wound around” a looser arrangement of labels that altogether look like a central axis or “spine” vertically oriented. To me it looks like the ‘coil’ is wrapped around this ‘axis’ three, maybe four turns, winding down almost to points towards the terminal poles at top and bottom of the chart.
The more I look at it, the clearer it appears to me-almost to the point of wondering if the creator arranged the labels in such a way on purpose. If chi did, chi’s really clever!
What it reminds me of is the helical shape of the DNA molecule-which seems apropos since both the chart and DNA are about the succession of genes along a chronological chain of custody.
Charts as detailed as this one allude to a kind of ecosystem of (supposedly) blood relationships over time and space. Another, bigger pattern seems to superimpose an allegorical phylogenic tree -that is, the extinction of a royal house is allegory to the extinction of a whole group of animals, or plants, &c at the much longer evolutionary timescale.
So cool!
I was talking shop with my book-publisher brother-in-law after a winter-holiday dinner some years ago. He wished he knew what book topics people were going to be interested in so he could publish them in good time for the next gift-giving season. I told him something I’ve long noticed: young and old, rich or poor, people are fascinated with maps, so he published a coffee table book with beautiful historical maps of Canada printed on very high-quality colour plates. Each copy was big, heavy and expensive-but they sold out almost immediately and, I believe, it went to subsequent printings. In that context, it was like a codexed tree-chart of map-charts chronologically arranged so’s to chart the evolution of Canada-and it really put the ‘art’ in poly-dimensional ‘cartography.’
This channel appears on my feed from time to time and sometimes I check it out. But this particular edition (which I just happened to watch) is extra fascinating and puts the principle of inclusivenesses which I like into practice. The result is almost taxonomical in itself! And I’ll bet there’s an inspiring story or two in there, as well.
I’m now a subscriber.
Congratulations Matt we will keep you supporting till you reach million subscribers
Please also do more videos related to indian dynasties
Thanks so much Matt! This has certainly made my day!
21:00 Well, that depends on which fan you ask about that.
Absolutely amazing. To everyone who made a chart I want to Thank you so much. Thank you UsefulCharts. I know nothing of my family on either side. But seeing the Charts in some small way let's me think that in some way I have family. Past and Present. Congratulations on making 5000 k. Everyone Please stay safe and healthy. Take care of each other.
congrats for 500k i knew you wuld reach it
The fact that the Tsar of Bulgaria became the Prime Minister over 50 years later astounds me.
Congratulation for your 500k !🎉🎉🎉, still be my favourite channel and help me alot with historical genealogy, thanks 😁👏
Beefy Hunk Cake ALERT. Loving the hair Matt!!
5:00 THis chart is very interesting, because it shows a potential link between the germanic dynasties of antiquity and the Kings of Spain. There are a few question marks, so I guess some links are quite speculative. But if it where true, then King Bermudo I. of Asturias (and therefore all his decendants, including a large part of european nobility) was not only a decendant of King Clovis of the Franks, but also of Liuvigild and his son Reccared I., who ruled the Visigothic Kingdom during it's hight of power.
Some fun little details with Harry Potter family tree related to British royal family:
- The Malfoy family's patriarch at the time was part of William the Conqueror's army. William gave him the land where Malfoy Manor would be built. We've seen the manor in the seventh film.
- King Henry VI had an advisor/courtier who's a rabbit. Said rabbit was believed to be a French witch who's also an animagus (wizard/witch who can shapeshift into animal for as long as they like) who escaped persecution from her home country. In any case, Henry's having a rabbit as an advisor is why he's deemed mad.
- The near headless ghost was an English knight named Sir Nicholas who was a member of King Henry VII's court. He was executed for mistakenly transforming a tooth of one of Henry's court ladies into a tusk.
- Queen Mary I aka the Bloody Mary was in fact a witch.
- Queen Anne Boleyn was believed to be a witch. Other rumors said she's instead a Squib (someone who's not a wizard/witch, but had one or both parents who are wizards)
- A member of Malfoy family named Lucius (the namesake of Lucius Malfoy we saw in the main series) wanted to marry Queen Elizabeth I, but she spurned him. This upset him enough to jinx Elizabeth into never wanting to marry, thus earning her the nickname 'Virgin Queen'. However, this claim is disputed by later generations of Malfoys due to the lack of evidence.
- When King George III suffered mental illness, the British Prime Minister, Lord North, contacted the Minister for Magic to ask him a cure for the King. But this caused a rumor about the Prime Minister believing in magic, forcing him to resign. In real-life, Lord North resigned from the PM office following a defeat in a battle during American Revolutionary War.
- Queen Victoria was close to the Minister for Magic at the time, though never finding out that she's a witch. When Queen Victoria died, the Minister for Magic at the time, an elderly man, attended the funeral and didn't dress properly (Ministry of Magic officials in general are expected to dress properly like a muggle when they're in muggle environment, so it's embarrassing when the Minister for Magic, the head of British wizarding government, himself did it wrongly). The Wizengamot (wizarding supreme court) subsequently suggested him to retire.
- An unknown wizard or witch transformed Queen Elizabeth II's corgwyn into a hamster. This alerted the Minister for Magic enough to investigate.
The witcher is a fictional book/game series. It has 3 video games, all being very respected and highly praised, and it recently got its own netflix tv show, which i gotta say is pretty good so far
you should create a chart app. I know you use simple tools. but your style is so awesome.
Congrats on hitting 500k Matt, well deserved!
I wish I had known about this submission thing sooner, I was planning on making a Chinese monarchy family tree (Well I mean the Han Dynasty only)
That'd be cool to see.
and added another 200k since then. you do good work, thanks!
Hi! Congrats on the 500K!
An interesting chart would be of Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz
, that they are saying was "black"
This has come up recently due to the success of the series "Bridgerton", which included a black actress playing the queen, as well as many other black actors in the roles of noblemen. This was not historically correct, by any means, but a chart on Charlotte, who supposedly had Moorish ancestors, would be interesting. Moorish does not necessarily mean black, though, but refers to the Muslims of northern Africa and the Iberian peninsula.
Congratulations Matt, love your channel! I have learned so much from your content
Jack Rackham can do a video on Queen Kristina, 😂
this was great fun, matt! really enjoyed the mix of real world and fictional (you've inspired me to tinker with fictional ones myself, as a comic book fan). great work to everyone who has attempted this; no small feat!
It's good to place your face with your voice again, Matt.

this Is fantastic and Crazy making,the 2020 It was a terribile year for all, but you have Forever the passione of making Thanks.
i think frodo is third cousin thrice removed or something nice sounding like that
in our office, we have multiple databases that together total over half a million entries of historical people, mostly in the region of switzerland and southern germany. but as they tend to not be nobles, they basically all individually had to be found and documented in handwritten bapismal, marital and death records of the church, which tend to go back to about 1600. these records were to a large part gathered by the people working for our small office but we did also buy the life-works of three retired genealogists who were very well known in the genealogist communities back then.
as these people are documented in hundrets of different families that are in many cases not connected to eachother in our data yet, we can of course not quite create a family tree with that many entried. but we do have some family trees with multiple thousand members. but as they arent nobles or part of some sort of well known fictional universe, they are probably not that interesting to youtube viewers
