I've done a lot of ancestry search. I have spanned 32 Generations on my mother's side for almost a thousand years. It is a love I have.
Having said that, I laugh that everyone wants to be related to someone famous., it's funnier when you're related to the horse leaves like you said.
It hasn't made its way down to me yet but, I'm related to
Sir Thomas Gresham who started the Royal Exchange in the 1566 under Queen Elizabeth I.
The author John Grisham.

Charlemagne, like all Northern Europeans who has a genealogy chart that back that far, All such claims to ancient royalty are questionable since people used to make up a connection.

If you're related to the Bushes then you are related to Ann Hutchison whose descendants include.

One descendant bearing the Hutchinson name was her great-great-grandson Thomas Hutchinson, who was a loyalist Governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay at the time of the Boston Tea Party, an event leading to the American Revolutionary War.[152]
