Recent addition to a Charlemagne bookshelf: huge pedigree of all known descendants of Charlemagne through eight generations, roughly to the year 1000. This side, generations 1-5; other side, generations 6-8, so you need two copies if you want to display it!
Published in 1967, with 79 pp. of dense and, for some lines, still-definitive annotation, in a four-volume interdisciplinary conference proceedings / reference set on Charlemagne (Karl Ferdinand Werner, “Die Nachkommen Karls des Grossen bis um das Jahr 1000: 1-8 Generation,” in Karl der Grosse: Lebenswerk und Nachleben, 4 vols. [Düsseldorf, 1965-68], 4:403-82).
Once a reference-room staple in university libraries, discarded copies now occasionally available. This one came from University of Arizona. Not available digitally anywhere, so far as I know.
