I know that I have French royalty somewhere. My boyfriend and I actually probably have a common ancestor - Louis 1. I haven't really started researching my geneology yet, though.
Someone is my boyfriend's family traced their family tree back to c.600AD. They have several famous people.
The most interesting to me is Matilda, who married William the Conqueror. It was a little funny, because everyone in his family was claiming to be related to William the Conqueror, until I took a close look and said "Actually, no, you're descended from his wife's illegitimate children." I'd love to do more research on Matilda. I mean, she married a king and had her children declared illegitimate.
There is a Lady Godiva, but I keep forgetting to check her husband's name to see if it's the Lady Godiva.
Sir Loin steak was so dubbed in one of the family castles, so that means my boyfriend's family were wealthy enough to dine with kings (a king actually knighted the steak, that's how it was named, lol).
There are several other royal people, mostly English.
I can't wait to find out who I'm related to, lol.
