Why are there high chances to be descendant of Charlamagne? Didn't he hav only one wife? Unlike Genghis

Researchers using genomic data place the latter date around A.D. 1000. So Christopher Lee's royal lineage is unexceptional: because Charlemagne lived before the isopoint and has living descendants, everyone with European ancestry is directly descended from him.

Not me. I'm descended from some guy named Steve who was Charlamagne's cousin's gardener.
