I am directly related to Edward Longshanks, best known as the King in Braveheart, and Robert the Bruce, which is kind of ironic, because they were enemies. And no, I am not kidding. I am serious.

Everyone is... eventually.
The laws of breeding ensures that after a few tens of generations, the gene pool is thoroughly mixed. So as descendants of Europeans, we all have some Gengis Khan blood, we all have some Charlesmagne and King Solomon's blood in us, and we all have blood from Edward Longshanks and Robert the Bruce.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
This is a scientific truth btw, It can be demonstrated mathematically. Just think that after 50 generations, you have 2 to the power of 50 ancestor (exactly 1 125 899 906 842 624 parents). I can bet 1000 000$ to one that one of these ancestor is Bob or Ed.
Cheers brother!

One of my ancestors married a bastard granddaughter of king Louis XIV of France (by Louise de La Vallière), and another of my ancestresses married a relative of The Old Pretender (supposedly descended from James III, but I have no proof of this). Plus, I have some Irish earl's blood in me that married into the family after the Boyne and before the Scotsman came up... or so the family tales say, but since I did not inherit the family papers (I'm not heir), and my grandmother was not too precise about the Norman side of her family's history, I never managed to pinpoint the exact data.

So what is your question, if you already know you are related to royalty?
I am related to Admiral Dewey who climbed Mt. Everest and I am related to some dipwad back on the mormon trail that got kicked off in Ohio because he wouldn't share his wagon full of food. I could probably trace my ancestry back to the days of longshanks and find I was related to either one of your relatives..

Royalty no, but i was related to a Baron in Lithuania that fled to America when the last Czar of Russia got killed. The Baron worked for the Czar and the Revolution probably would have killed my ancestor as well.

I come from a proud bloodline of Tsalagi (Cherokee) Indians. This would include Chief Murmuring Ripple of the Attanoughkomouck Tribe, the father of Chief Wahunsenacawh Powhatan. Who was the father of Pocahontas Matoaka Powhatan (Lady Rebecca). Tavchee of the Ailsey Clan, father to the leader of the Chickamangon, Chuqualatague (Chief Doublehead). Principal Chief and Emperor Amatoya Moytoy, the grandfather of SeluSatah (Princess Cornblossum). Chief Doublehead is SeluSatah’s father. Family blood laid out the Trail of Tears (Nunna daul lsunyi) and were the very scouts for that trail of death. I am also Shawnee, Powhatan and Swed (Amish). My Tsalagi Indian name is ” Quiet Buck “, Nunoyvgvna Awi (New-No-Ooo-Goo-Nah Ah-We). I am very proud of my heritage and those that came before me. I hope to leave a mark in my life as they did in theirs.

I, too, am descended from them as well as Charlemagne and a couple of French kings. I'm also descended from one of the men who signed the death warrant for King Charles. He escaped to the colonies when the other King Charles returned to England and married Martha Allen. Martha Allen Carrier was hung as a witch during the Salem witch trials. She never pled guilty to the charge of witchcraft. I'm prouder of being her descendant than of those kings.

Big deal.
I to am descended from royalty.
My dad was a Royal Pain in the Butt
My Mom was a Drama Queen.
So I guess that means you are descended from William Wallace. Since Eddie was the only son of Edward and he never reproduced. After Edward died, the new queen put Eddie down the well.
