Descendants of Charlemagne Down to Robert Lee Cutrer, Sr.!
Right action is better than knowledge; but in order to do what is right, we must know what is right. Charlemagne
Who is Charlemagne and why do we care? For starters, he united most of Europe meaning that the spread of Christianity soon followed. He restored the Western Roman Empire and became its first emperor. He reformed military, economic, governmental, cultural, educational, and religious areas of life for everyone. Over the course of his life, he really loved the ladies having four wives and five mistresses.
Now that science has shown that most of the people in the Western Hemisphere are descendants of Charlemagne, it is up to genealogists and historians to provide the names that link us back to one of the most important historical figures in early medieval times. Sources like the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy's project Medieval Lands by Charles Crawley (fmg.ac/projects/medlands) (FMG), Geni.com (Geni), McKenziesOfEarlyMaryland.com (MEM), Wikipedia (WP), and WikiTree (WT), to name a few, were cross-referenced to create this lineage. Enjoy!
