I am deeply into researching the Blount family. The book just mentioned has actually two full pages 54 & 55. The Blount family go back to the Counts of Guisnes and then through the female line the Lorraine family which leads directly to the Holy Roman Empire and Charlemagne as a grand grandparent. The complete medieval period is very detailed on the Mormons (LDS) Ancestral File as they had access to the Heralds of England and have done extensive research during this period. Before 1500 there material is better than the 17th and 18th century. In fact it is astounding. If you have access to their CD disks, all the various lineal branches of the Blount family and continuing backward to 100's of their ancestors back to the year
6.A.D. Clodamir King of the Franks. The net has Clodamir back to Priam the I about 2400 B.C.
Search the www.ancestry.com for Clodamir, there are four entries and one of them leads back through all the rulers of the Sicambrians. It took a reference librarian and I two hours to find the link in history books. The Sicambrian League were located in what is today Westaphalia in Germany. It was Ancient Germany and the tribe was located on the Rhine near the mountains. They were never captured by Rome in Caesar's period as they had the fortification of the mountains to their back rather than the plains below, where so many tribes were captured.
It was known as free Germany. They eventually became the Kings of all the Franks and then of France. They are the Blount family ancestors.
