Merovingian Kings

I followed a thread down the rabbit hole.  And how long did it take? 2 days and I ended up with the 48th great grandfather, Marcian of Thrace (Byzantium now Turkey).  There is so much history here, but I wanted to get these names recorded in case any of you wanted to look them up.  

This line starts with me and covers 48 generations back to the year 392 AD (CE). We have Spanish (SPN), French (FRE), Portuguese (PRT), Belgium (BEL), Greek (GRE), Turkish (TUR) and Roman (ROME) in our blood. We have Kings and Queens, Counts, Dukes, Dutchess, and even a couple of Saints in our bloodline. It is more powerful that I ever imagined, and that is just one line through Petra.  It is very similar for her siblings, but I have not traced anyone else's back just yet.

Just think, Kings of Portugal! Charlemagne the Holy Roman Emporer! Merovingian Kings (remember Da Vinci Code?)  By the way, "infante" in this list means "Prince or Princess". These are important distinctions of nobility and royalty also.
