In Greek mythology, Zeus had a son named Dardanus. Dardanus's grandson, Tros, became the founder of Troy. One of Tros's various descendants who lived during the Trojan War was Aeneas, who later sailed to western Italy and technically founded Rome. Aeneas's most famous descendants are Romulus and Remus, the actual founders of Rome. However, Aeneas had another descendant named Brutus. Brutus sailed across the English Channel and became the first King of England.
In the 900s, a Viking and self-proclaimed descendant of Odin named Rollo conquered a region in northern France and proclaimed himself the Duke of Normandy. His descendant, William the Conqueror, conquered England in 1066 and merged the Norse bloodline with the Trojan bloodline.
Both of these bloodlines theoretically still exist in the modern British royal family. This means that everyone in the royal family is a legacy of Zeus and a legacy of Odin. No wonder their empire was so successful!
What do you think? he can do that?
