Appendix X - The Family Tree of Bernard de la Force

In an attempt to clear up anomalies in the record as we had it, we decided to trace back from Bernard, all of his ancestors that we could. This seemed a never-ending task while we were at it, because the wives are under-represented. In fact, it was extraordinary how even the daughters of quite important kings (e.g. Dagobert I) are only represented by the names of their husbands. The trees below only show parentage & omit brothers & sisters.

Because Bernard was well recorded & of an 'important' family, there is far more light shining upon our ancestors in this earlier period than during the Middle Ages.

For the main Merovingian, Gothic & Basque lines in the trees below, they are taken back to the point of limited credibility, which may be to do the Roman scribes an injustice, as the Romans were very interested in the nations on their borders for both trade and defence reasons. Just when a line become 'legendary' is moot & we will leave it to better qualified historians to elucidate this.

Between Bernard & the earliest people here, there are up to 28 generations, suggesting that there are 67,108,864 ancestors in this period. Reducing this for the dead ends encountered, some very late on, would leave us with a mere 40,573,928 ancestors. However, the first tree below has only 12 names where 16 would be expected. This level of cross-marriage, encountered all down these trees, mean that only 421 ancestors are traceable. To assist in cross-referencing the many (sometimes distant) cousin marriages, arbitrary numbers have been allocated to each named ancestor. The generation numbers, back from Bernard, are only somewhat helpful, as some people & hence, trees, are members of more than one generation. Charlemagne is in three.

Many of these people married more than once (& both our authors have had two wives). When they remarried, it was sometimes to someone quite closely related to their first spouse. Cousins sometimes married & this occurs in our first consolidated tree, as Alaric, the sacker of Rome, married a cousin, who's name has regrettably not come down to us. Quite close to Bernard, there is even a marriage between a half-brother & sister. We start with the Goths, as their records reliably go back the furthest, doubtless thanks to the Roman Military Intelligence Service, although one would have expected them to go back further. Aoric (?misspelt by the Romans from Alaric) is the earliest credible Visigoth. I have used the correct surname 'Balt', although the family is called 'Balthes' in most of the available records. The problem does not arise with the other significant Goth family, the Amals.

	The Gothic male line is shown in white throughout.
	The Frankish male line is shown in purple throughout.
	The male line including Charlemagne (Mayors of the Palace) is shown in muddy throughout.
	The Moslem line of Cassius Fortunius is shown in bright green, since Moslems are fond of the colour.
	Bernard de la Force's male line is shown in bright yellow.
	This is the line of Bernard's maternal grandfather (i.e. his mother's male line)

All other colours are used pragmatically to clarify the lines. Male lines use the same colour in any one tree.

Chindaswind's daughter Glasvinda married Froila of Cantabria, who's father is unknown. Their line occurs later, as Froila is a direct male ancestor of Bernard de Fourcès' grandmother. Fruela Perez also appears later as the father of Loup II's wife Numabela. One of Chindaswind's sons appears later.

With Ramiro & the Goths definitely picking up Spanish name conventions, we must leave them until later.

Clovis & St Clothilde's families

The Frankish records, if some researchers are to be believed, go back into BC times. We do not believe them but the existence of Marcomir seems reasonably reliable. St. Clothilde's Burgundian ancestors include Alaric I's brother or half-brother (the hot money seems to be on the latter) Athaulf, who's wife was the daughter of the Spanish-born Roman emperor, Theodosius the Great, the last one to rule over both halves of the Empire. Their daughter, Clothilde, is a shadowy figure & we suspect that she was either born before Athaulf & Galla's spectacular nuptials or does not exist in that line. Gundovic later reappears as an ancestor of Dagobert I's queen & Charlemagne's wife. Gebicca founded the Burgundian kingdon with his capital at Worms. This was later moved to Geneva.

This line was a surprise, coming from Gersenda of Toulouse, the wife of William of Fezensac. Hoping, if we followed her line, for more information about Toulouse, the capital of Euric the Goth's vast, unsustainable empire, her tree swept up half of Western Europe, including Charlemagne.

The Muslims

The appearance of Muhammed-the-Prophet was quite a surprise, a consequence of Fortun-hunting, but we had ruled him out originally, as King Fortun 'the Monk' of Navarre, who married the daughter of Lope & Ayab, did not appear to be an ancestor but his much-married daughter Oneca turned up in the wives' lines.
