Not sure if you are using beyond to represent back the pedigree or forward, but all of the lines claimed to descend from Charles Constantine are nothing but guesswork. The one most commonly seen makes Constance, wife of Boso of Provence a daughter, but this is based on nothing but her name being similar to his.

Likewise some have suggested that his son Hucbert is identical to Humbert, the founder of the house of Savoy, but it smacks of wishful thinking. I may be cynical in this way, but any time someone tries to make a royal family (in this case of Italy) the long-lost male-line descendants of the rulers a milennium before, a large grain of salt is in order.
