I imagine that there's about as many people that know they're descended from Charlemagne as there are that care about anyone being descended from Charlemagne.
benji:
Anyone who's done the math is pretty darn sure. Also, if you think about the (probably false) statistic someone once gave me that 5% of all people are mistaken about who their father is, and project that backwards 40 or so generations, it becomes pretty likely that you're not descended from Charlemagne the way you think you are.
Oli:
Who the fuck is Charlemagne?
Sounds like a dick.
RedLion:
He pretty much was. But he ruled the Holy Roman Empire, which encompassed a large chunk of Europe. So that's cool.
Jimmy the Squid:
Pah, who cares about which historical figure you are probably descended from? I used to give a damn that I'm probably related to Vlad the Impaler but I'm pretty sure heaps of people are related to him, as they are (and as am I) to Genghis Khan. It isn't that important because your distant ancestors in no practical way have any bearing on who you are.
Besides, it is much more interesting that I am possibly related to this guy
