According to genetic testing, about 1 in 200 men are direct desendents of Genghis Khan. Almost all Europeans are related to some king or other. To say "the seven knights are our ancestors" is probably correct but means nothing, almost all Grimms would have been. I am sure many of the Grimms(male and female) wanting a mate would have sought out Grimm families for a spouse. Grimm was a fantasy, let's enjoy the non-reality of it. Its okay to want to make some sense of it, but most of what we argue about is fantasy not fact.
