I bet you find that the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) is also an ancestor. I would assert my claims to the Caliphate myself, except that killing off my rivals would take a lot of my spare time for the next few centuries. Also, I don't feel like giving up wine or having a circumcision.
But King Tiglath-Pileser I of the Assyrians (my 88th great grandfather) is a fine role model. If I ever have a cat I shall name it after him. If the Iraqis ever want to revive their monarchies I shall bravely step up to the plate - on a strictly absentee basis to guarantee my safety, and modestly requesting only a very small percentage of their oil revenues.

He is my 25th great grandfather also. How nice to be related to one of the most brutal murderers and philanderers in history, and from such a long line of the same. The greedy and heartless always and still today find their way to the top by whatever means necessary, becoming our "leaders" and then pitting us against our brothers, sisters and neighbors in warfare for their own private gain. They are the true weapons of mass destruction.
Ah, it's great to be a member of royalty!
Henry I Beauclerc, King of England is my 22nd great grandfather.

http://sandwalk.blogspot.com/2009/10/are-you-descedant-of-charlemag... This is a great article--and there are others if you haven't seen them. This one poises the question, are you related to Charlemagne and answers it in the affirmative--we all are if we are of European descent so by extension given that William I conquered England over a thousand years ago, almost all of us of English descent are related to his sons Henry I an II and by their inbreeding all the royalty of the UK. The Isles is a pretty small place. Fun to trace, but not unique,
