I just learnt how to make charts and it's probably been done a thousand times before but I just had to make the Targaryen family tree for my first chart, I'm really happy of how it turned out!
Edit: I just noticed Jocelyn Baratheon is missing from where she should be, I fixed it for myself even if it's too late for the reddit post :')
This is the first chart of a series of charts from the descendants of the Zähringer dynasty.
I am starting a Pocahontas family tree!
Hope you
I made this chart to map the Valentinianic and Theodosian dynasties and the increasingly fragmented succession of the late Western Roman Empire, from AD 364 to 480.
The upper section shows how marriages and biological descent connected the eastern and western courts. Although imperial authority was often shared among relatives, this was no longer the formal collegiate system of the Tetrarchy. After the death of Theodosius I in 395, the two courts became permanently separate in practice, even though the empire continued to be understood as a single Roman state.
In the West, child emperors and short-lived rulers increasingly depended on powerful generals and kingmakers such as Stilicho, Aetius, Ricimer and Orestes. Some emperors were recognised only by the western court, while others were imposed or rejected by Constantinople.
The chart continues beyond the deposition of Romulus Augustulus in 476 because Julius Nepos remained the western emperor officially recognised by the eastern court until his death in 480.
Corrections and suggestions are very welcome, especially regarding disputed legitimacy, co-rulers and the relationships between the eastern and western courts.
Biography of Antoine "Tonio" Bonaparte
Born: August 20, 1772, Ajaccio, Corsica
Died: February 10, 1827, Trieste, Austrian Empire
Antoine "Tonio" Bonaparte was the fourth surviving child and third son of Carlo Maria Buonaparte and Letizia Ramolino. Born three years after Napoleon and three years before Lucien, Antoine often found himself in a unique position within the boisterous and ambitious Bonaparte household. Though overshadowed by his elder brother's military genius and his younger brother's political fervor, Antoine forged his own path, marked by a quieter intellect and a surprising aptitude for diplomacy and administration.
Early Life and Education
Antoine's childhood in Ajaccio was typical for a Bonaparte: chaotic, lively, and imbued with a deep sense of Corsican pride. While Napoleon was drawn to military strategy and Lucien to fiery rhetoric, Antoine showed an early predilection for languages, history, and a more methodical approach to problem-solving. His mother, Letizia, saw in him a steady hand, often entrusting him with the management of household affairs in Carlo's absence.
He, like his brothers, benefited from the family's connections, but his education took a different turn. While Napoleon pursued military academies in France, Antoine was sent to the prestigious Collège de Juilly, where he excelled in classics, law, and economics. His tutors noted his keen analytical mind and his ability to mediate disputes among his peers – traits that would serve him well later in life.
The Revolution and Early Career
The French Revolution, which so profoundly shaped the lives of his siblings, found Antoine in Paris, completing his studies. Unlike Napoleon, who quickly embraced the military opportunities the Revolution presented, Antoine was more cautious, observing the escalating political turmoil with a discerning eye. His temperament leaned towards stability and order, yet he remained fiercely loyal to his family.
When Napoleon began his meteoric rise, Antoine initially served in a civilian capacity, often acting as his elder brother's confidential secretary and liaison. He proved adept at managing Napoleon's burgeoning correspondence, organizing his papers, and quietly negotiating with various political factions on his behalf. His calm demeanor and ability to remain impartial in heated discussions made him an invaluable, if less flamboyant, asset.
The Imperial Years: Prince and Administrator
With Napoleon's ascension to Emperor, Antoine's role shifted dramatically. While his brothers Joseph, Louis, and Jérôme were crowned kings, Antoine was appointed Prince of Etruria in 1807, a territory carved out of Tuscany. Unlike his more militarily inclined brothers, Antoine approached his rule with a focus on administrative reform and economic development. He sought to modernize the region's agricultural practices, improve infrastructure, and establish a more equitable tax system, often clashing with local nobility who resisted his progressive policies.
Antoine was also tasked with more sensitive diplomatic missions. Fluent in several languages and possessing a natural charm, he was often dispatched by Napoleon to negotiate with reluctant German states, smooth over tensions with the Austrian court, or convey delicate messages to the Tsar. His nuanced understanding of European politics and his ability to appear less overtly ambitious than his imperial siblings made him an effective, if often overlooked, envoy. He was known for his elegant court at Florence, which became a hub for intellectuals and artists, somewhat removed from the martial pomp of Paris.
Exile and Later Life
Antoine remained fiercely loyal to Napoleon, even during the disastrous Russian campaign and the subsequent decline of the Empire. He was with Napoleon during the Hundred Days, advocating for a negotiated peace rather than continued conflict, though his advice was ultimately unheeded.
Following Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo, Antoine, unlike his brothers, did not flee to America. He sought refuge in the Austrian Empire, eventually settling in Trieste under an assumed name. Though stripped of his title and much of his wealth, he spent his remaining years pursuing his intellectual interests, writing treatises on European history and engaging in quiet philanthropy. He maintained a limited correspondence with his siblings, often lamenting the dissolution of the "grand design" but never expressing regret for his own part in it.
Antoine "Tonio" Bonaparte died in Trieste in 1827, six years after his illustrious brother. He left behind no direct heirs, choosing a life of quiet service over the dynastic aspirations that consumed many of his siblings. His legacy is not one of military conquest or imperial decree, but of understated intelligence, diligent administration, and a steady hand amidst the maelstrom of the Napoleonic era. He was the thoughtful counterpoint to the family's more tempestuous personalities, a testament to the diverse talents within the extraordinary Bonaparte clan.

I used the program draw.io for the family tree. I would be thankful for feedback and things I could improve.
This is just the one from the 21st century.
If Nathaniel Gorham's supposed plan to adopted a constitutional monarchy by inviting Prince Henry of Prussia had gone ahead.
DISCLAIMER: Everyone in this family tree existed or exists and all birth and death dates are historically accurate. The only fictional part besides the American Monarchy are three marriages: 'August II' and Frederica of Prussia, and brothers 'Alexander I' and 'George I' to sisters Louise and Anna of Prussia.
Alternative History:
Henry I arrived in America in 1787. A childless homossexual in his sixties, Henry brought his younger brother Augustus Ferdinand and his family to America to be his eventual successor. Henry died in 1802 and Augustus became August I of America.
America's involvement in the Napoleonic Wars lead to Crown Prince Louis Ferdinand's death at the Battle of Saalfeld in 1806. King August died in 1813 and was succeeded by his second son August.
After the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, August II married in his thirties to the young Princess Frederica of Prussia, his first cousin twice removed. Her brother Frederick (Bridgerton's S1 Character) accompanied her to America.
The King's sister and heir, Louise, died in 1836 and the childless King opposed the succession rights of her children, arguing his sister's marriage to Antoni Radzwill was morganatic. He suggested he would prefer to be succeeded by his brother-in-law Frederick and Congress agreed, accepting Frederick's adoption by the King. August II died in 1843, and Frederick I ascended to the throne.
Frederick had two American-born sons, Alexander and George, who in 1856 married sisters Louise and Anne of Prussia, their second cousins. Both failed to father children. Alexander succeeded his father in 1863 and was succeeded by George on his death in 1896.
George I and his wife had adopted her late brother's son in 1886, also with Congressal approval. He became Crown Prince Frederick, and succeeded his adopted father/uncle in 1902, becoming Frederick II.
Frederick II had three sons with his wife Louise Sophie, but the eldest, Frederick Sigismund died in 1927 in a horse ridding accident. The King died in 1931 and his 12-year-old grandson Frederick Charles became Frederick III. The Regency was shared by the Dowager Queen Louise Sophie, the King's mother Princess Marie Louise, and Frederick III's third son Frederick Leopold (the second son died in WWI).
Frederick III reigned for 75 until his death in 2006. He married twice but fathered no children, being succeded by his sister Louise Victoria, the first Queen Regnant of America. During her reign, Congress (according to precedent and Frederick III expressed wishes) refused to recognize her only son Manfred as Crown Prince.
When the elderly Queen died in 2009, Congress invited Prince Carl Christian of Hohenzollern, nephew of the Swedish King, a member of a 12th century branch of the House of Hohenzollern and the Crown's heir if morganatic marriages and Swedish Royals are excluded.
America's 10th King, Charles I, is married to Queen Nicole and they have one child, 26-year old Crown Prince Nicholas.
After my posts many months ago on the fictional family from the Quarry, as well as my own CK3 playthrough's family tree, I challenged myself with creating this chart!
This chart depicts the personal family trees of either the protagonist or the Don, as well as the Don's crime family tree. I recently finished Mafia: The Old Country, after beating the other three games this year, and thought that it would be really cool to visualise everything. As you can see, I also chose to colour code each game based on colours that fit that era.
To finish, I will touch on the locations that you see under each title.
- Sicily is... Sicily.
- Lost Heaven is a fictional city that takes heavy inspiration from Chicago, with small nods to the architecture of New York.
- Empire Bay is a fictional city that is immensely inspired by New York City.
- New Bordeaux is a much larger fictional city that is based on New Orleans and other parts of Louisiana.
