Question:

Related to Charles " The Hammer" Martel????

My great uncle has been doing the family tree for many years now and has determine that we were related to French royalty hundreds of years ago. My family surname is Martel, which is French, and I have looked some things up on the net to see what I can find. I found Charles the hammer Martel who became king and I am wondering if it is possible that this is the royal family he is referring to. I do not know of any other Martel families in french history that were of royal blood. The family has had a falling out and we do not speak to him anymore so I am wondering how to go about getting info on this and researching it further.
