Project Charlemagne

Project Charlemagne aims to get all known descendants of Charlemagne onto Familypedia. There is only one way to do that: work from the earlier to the later generations. The "generation-by-generation" approach also gives most insight into who married whom, and who killed whom. Charlemagne's descendants started to marry one another as of generation 5, and this became the norm in later generation. Fierce rivalry broke out in generation 3, and many of Charlemagne's descendants were slain by their (remote) cousins.

Status
Generations 1-6 are complete: All known individuals and all their children have a page on Familypedia. Generation numbers and Ahnentafeln are complete for generations 1-6. Furthermore, all individuals of generation 7 have a page, but their children do not necessarily.

Rules
The rules of this project are simple:
 * 1) Select a person from the list below;
 * 2) Add pages for his/her children (preferably including several "source" links each);
 * 3) Add the children to the list of Generation N+1;
 * 4) Remove the person from the list of Generation N.

Creating shortest lines first
Living people interested in their "generation number" will want to know the shortest line. A little unpredictable; but the children of the youngest person in a generation are likely to be part of anyone's shortest line.

Sources of "facts"

 * See also the /sources subpage for longer list


 * Some sources of facts or assumptions that are easy to find and work from (but are not necessarily correct); sites that seem fairly comprehensive, at least for early centuries
 * Descendants of Charlemagne 2 - outline descendant tree going for over ten generations in some lines but with several gaps
 * Charlemagne on Ton Deunhouwer's file of 100,000 descendants - "Allowed copying data and persons (under construction) for own risk!!!!!!!." - Descendants listed are stated to be as follows (our generation number followed by number): 2/11, 3/14, 4/23, 5/35, 6/57, 7/83, 8/98, and so on up to 43/10 (totalling 20,605); Familypedia has many more for the first few generations and is likely to have more for the rest as time goes on.
 * Hull University Royals site - © 1994-2005 Brian Tompsett; likely to be accurate for each individual listed, but gives Charlemagne only 16 children at present
 * Dutch descendants of Charlemagne
 * FFish
 * Descendants pages by David A Blocher
 * Herbert Stoyan's "complete list of the first 13 generations (according to E. Brandenburg) and later generations"

Ideally any relationships shown should be compared over many such "sources", with specific webpage references listed under "External links" or "References" for other users to check and go beyond.
