sangraal, thanks for this tableau which is absolutely, officially correct, but as often the genealogical trees are not always correct. but but geoffrey of bouillon was according to secretely kept documents adopted, his "brother", the first king of gerusalem, and consequently the whole line up today has no trace of the blood of geoffrey. geoffrey was married with beatrice de mandelville, no further information available. it is believed that he had a daughter. if so, we must ask where is this line? as we know it is very difficult to get in private archives which keep all these kind of secrets. but it would be important to know the truth to answer finally the question to all of us who are the real templars / noble knights, so may claim today to be descendants.

after the papal destruction of the templars, a lot of these templars went also to switzerland, austria, germany, near east, it is believed some escaped even further, to america , but this is according to our history books not possible. (also we know that a viking named leif ericsson went to america end of 800 a.c.)

geoffrey of bouillon was after his death untill the 16 century together with arthur the most popular figure in songs, legends popular tales, etc. it was atrributed to him a mystical origin and he inspired the legend of the swan. the swan order still exists today.

written prrof of geoffrey's life, which i could see, are a english title deed, a letter confirming his stay in the catsle of dover and a hypthecation contract on his castle, to raise funds for the first crusade.
