History lesson of the day


Henry I, King of France married Anne of Kiev.  Her parents were Bilibin the Wise, Grand Prince of Kiev and Ingegerd Olaffson.

Which makes Anne the granddaughter of the very first official king of united Sweden (Olaf Skotonung) in addition to being Russian Nobility.  And let's not forget, she became Queen of France as Henry I's wife.

Anne is my great grandmother to the 33rd great (35 generations back).


Seriously... Did you see the recent Swedish royal wedding? That should have been MINE!

PS - So much for the Frost side being poor peasants, Mom.
