I have fallen into the worst wiki hole of my life trying to trace the lineage of Elizabeth II to some important ruler (such as Cesar, Some Pharaoh, or Alexander the Great).
The problem is, with such a diverse line of rule, I have many options to explore.
So far, I have established a link from Elizabeth II to Clovis I, so there is a Merovingian line, but where do I go from there?
A great friend of mine suggest I try to link Elizabeth II to a Byzantium ruler, since their lineage is easier to trace back (to Roman rulers). However, If I get to Roman rulers, they all claim divine ancestry, so that is a dead end.
But if I end up at Cesar, or Alexander the Great, I'll call it a victory.
Any pointers, or help?
If you want to find a way to say "Elizabeth II is Julius Caesar's or Alexander the Great's descendant", I believe that you may fail. From what I could google now, neither of them had grandchildren (Julius Caesar had one but died after birth). I suppose you are not counting Augustus, as he was adopted. And if they had any illegitimate children that we don't know of, well, we don't know them.
You might get some good tips from the gang in /r/genealogy: this sort of thing is their jam
