ANCIENT GENEALOGY
OF THE
MEROVINGIAN KINGS OF FRANCE,
DUKES OF ACQUITAINE, KINGS OF NAVARRE, COUNTS OF LERIN

Through the marriage of Jeanne de Mesmes with Jewin Daspit in 1568, the Daspit de St Amand family may claim descent from the Merovingian line by connection with the Kings of Navarre, Counts of Bigorre, the de la Barthe lords of the Four Valleys, the Royal dynasties of Merovingian, Carolingian and Capetian Kings of France and the Exilarchs of Narbonne of the Royal House of David.  The dynasties of France all descend from the Merovingian line traced back to the Cimmerian tribe on the Black Sea in the lands of Scythia. By legend the King (Euxim) of the Cimmerians was descended from the Royal line of Troy. It is from this line that the Merovingian dynasty has its source.

The following genealogy was developed by Pere Anselm for the Regent of France and was augmented by genealogical research done later at the command of  Napoleon I to determine descendants of the Merovingian royal house.
