    • Interesting. Charts like this also provide a good illustration as to how power and wealth are preserved through the centuries in addition to the establishment of political alliances.

      • Hello DanaThomas.

        i was aware of the term “matrilineal” but unaware how it applied to genealogy and bloodlines, quite fascinating thank you for sharing . . .

        • that was a trip! enjoyed it. really brings home how intermarried they really are/were. I guess the British matrilineal line Garsenda line will stop with William unless somehow Diana has a connection.

            • As the authors said, this chart is only partial and was quickly compiled by clicking web links, but genealogy is full of twists and turns.

            • Who’d have thought of tracing nobility back through the matrilineal line?! Very intriguing–especially since mitochondrial DNA is inherited from one’s mother. I wonder if there are other “hidden” family connections that would turn up if other nobles’ and notables’ family trees were traced back through the matrilineal line…

              • This is intriguing, really great material, thank you for sharing! So many powerful rulers from one line definitely points to something going on behind the scenes. Matrilineal lines would be a great way to obscure a “hidden house.”
