Charlemagne - the sword, what about the sword?

Good points. All the more reason to carefully examine your sources.

Excellent tip about utilizing the "green pin". Works with a parent or a sibling.

Legbiter was the sword of King Magnus III, "Barelegs". He was called Barelegs because Legbiter was so sharp he shaved his leghairs with it.
One must wonder how the refugee crises will change the percentage of the descendants of King Karolus.

Geni doesn't appear to like my ancestry, it hits a wall in the mid 1700's all the known branches of my family lose contact before there.

keep researching, Brendan, and you will find your gateway ancestor. it takes a lot of work sometimes.

I am his 27th great granddaughter.

I'm in ... 33rd great grandfather

@ my 1st grandson is his 31st grandson of Charlemagne. People talk about this sword of his so what is it about, is someone out there can tale the truth about it ?

Hi Kara,

See if Louis I, The Pious is your 31st GG. He's my 37th even though he's Charlemagne's son who is 33rd. Geni takes strange paths sometimes when cousins marry or you have multiple lines.

Charlemagne is my grandson Joshua's 33rd great grandfather.

Hey Tracey, I looked to see..Louis I, The Pious is your 31st great grandfather.

(Kara,I know Wooten families in Boston and Cape Cod that are from Massachusetts. You may want to look there for Wootons/Wootens if you haven't yet)

Mrs. Saga Rewell let them keep that a secret, it's so quiet here the last 1000 yrs. without you Vikings on our doorstep. Not again pls.! Be nice and look for other 'swordless' hobbies !

Hahaha cousin René ;) It is Miss Rewell. You can call me Saga. I have two swords from ancestors, so Odin has left me empty handed. Scottish and viking ancestors, what can I do. Hmm, so it is in Museum? Where exactly. Have to prepare a boat.

Rene, Saga and Kara we are cousins.

If there is a sword it needs to stay in a museum, not in hands of all the grandsons that are here in the world, Sorry Cousins
