The Culpepper Linkage to Charlemagne, Emperor of the West (born 762)

We believe that most living Caucasian Culpeppers, worldwide, descend from William Culpeper of Hunton and Wigsell and his wife, Cicely Barrett. Cicely Barrett's ancestry has been traced back to European royalty and to Charlemagne, Emperor of the West during the 9th century. William Culpeper's ancestry has been traced back to Sir Thomas Colepeper, born 1170.
