Descent from Charlemagne

[DaneBowen@aol.com]

Not to throw water on anybody's enthusiasm but it should be noted that the 
practice of inheriting a throne through one's family is a late practice in 
European Middle Ages.  In other words, the successors to Charlesmagne were 
elected and not necessarily from the previous ruler's family.
