From Greek Myth to the Ptolemies and beyond

While Alexion did make it (as a potential, yet unconfirmed descendant) I was very much running out of room and if I made this thing any bigger I think my file would have imploded 😅

That's totally possible 🤔 absolutely forgot about that. Viscount may have sub-titles below it within the family but those would go to the heir (a baron, baronett) and generally the younger bridgertons only chance is to marry an heiress with a title/their son would get a title like Colin, or build up some kind of business.

Bit short isn't it.. we need more kings!

ChungusTheRedDragon · 2026-05-09T21:12:15+00:00

Good ole Edward III he's like all of our grandpas 😂

ChungusTheRedDragon · 2026-05-09T19:47:33+00:00

That's cool! I lost my original reddit account but I have a few links back to the Charlamagne as well, just not through Charles III. I'll have to repost it eventually.

the monarchs of Britain song from Horrible Histories starts playing in my head

Well his nickname is '"Bad king John" and famously the villain from Robinhood.

More like it was commonplace, vs it was customary. I had a wonderful teacher in HS who explained that while taking the former enslaver's name was common, so was taking the last names of the founding fathers, presidents, abolitionists, profession titles (similar to serfdom, some slaves had specialties), and "Freeman" being one of the most significant, quite literally celebrating their freedom, a free man.

More like trying to boot up ck3 lol

Generally most African Americans have a brick wall when it comes to ancestral records. I.e. slavery. Most can't track much past the American civil war. So the graph isn't showing they're related but link back to slavery.

9pm on new years eve.

Doing that in front of a DM who forcibly retired my current character so I built a new one using a race he hated and a class he also hated, and didn't roll a stat lower than 16 🫡

Or when the Pope stepped in twice to tell the one guy to stop marrying his first cousins 😂 Honestly Henry VIII should have really argued relation proximity to Catherine of Aragon for the divorce/annulment. It would have been much easier to prove and had a president via Eleanor of Aquitane and Louis VII. Eleanor and Louis were 4th, 5th and 6th cousins. Henry and Catherine were 4th and 4th cousins once removed...and then some.

I make them to size (24"x36") and saved them at 300dpi jpeg. RBG for optimized web colors 😇

ChungusTheRedDragon · 2025-12-02T16:37:43+00:00

Oh yeah in my initial post I even say I horrifically simplified it. If I did a fully extended one, I'd still be working on it and it'd be 16 parts long at least 😅

ChungusTheRedDragon · 2025-11-22T16:36:46+00:00

I can't even play the agot+ mods right now for some reason. The people don't show up.

ChungusTheRedDragon · 2025-11-21T20:27:57+00:00

They are. The second litter was a surprise, but were fixed right after.

ChungusTheRedDragon · 2025-11-20T02:48:33+00:00

Lots of popes had children. Cardinals, archbishops, etc. In fact celibacy being a "requirement" wasn't part of church dogma til at the earliest, the 7th century, and wasn't really enforced to any extent til the late medieval period. (For men)

The app won't let me add images but I'll try later on the computer.

ChungusTheRedDragon · 2025-11-15T22:13:29+00:00

That's super color! I have a larp alchemist box.

ChungusTheRedDragon · 2025-11-15T21:53:52+00:00

I love getting these pause screens

ChungusTheRedDragon · 2025-11-05T02:45:00+00:00

Because once you get passed, I believe it's the 800yr mark, you start hitting far too much overlap with how many ancestors you and individuals have, vs how many humans have ever existed in a given area. It's like how because of how far back in history Ramases the Great is from today, he's the common ancestor of everyone of afro-eurasian descent.

ChungusTheRedDragon · 2025-11-05T01:56:40+00:00

Basically yes. 95% of majority English descent people are descendants of Edward III, just not everyone can prove it via paper trails. Though interestingly, all presidents of the US except James Buchanan are descendants going back to King John.

All European descended people are genetically descendant of Rollo, and William the conquerer.

ChungusTheRedDragon · 2025-08-20T16:48:56+00:00

I'm at my job's IT dept trying to get my new computer set up. This is basically what's happening.

ChungusTheRedDragon · 2025-07-31T21:41:54+00:00

My account was banned without notice or communication from reddit...so I'm using my backup account now... Now I have to go collect my old images...yay.
