    Almost every European alive is a descendant of Charlemagne.

    That’s just how generational expansion works when you have 16 great-grandparents.

    It’s honestly weirder that there’s a relatively few number of proven descendants, I suppose many family fortunes were lost as the fallout of the war, making most of the remaining descendants of factory owners and slumlords instead.
