"Weil, Chancellor of the Universities of Paris, states:

Genealogy was originally the prerogative of kings and princes. The oldest surviving royal genealogies in Europe go back to the sixth century A.D. for Gothic sovereigns, to the seventh century for their Irish, Lombardic, Visigothic, and Frankish counterparts, and to the eighth and ninth centuries for Anglo-Saxon and Carolingian kings. (pp. 10-11)

Thus Weil and Gunderson agree – European royal pedigrees cannot be verified before the 500s A.D."

Asgard is the mythical home of the Norse Gods. Granted, it's possible there used to be a real place in Norway called Asgard, named after the mythical place, but that's unlikely. I can find no such place, even historically. That website also says his birth place is "Asgard, Asia or East Europe". Yeah, real specific there, lol.

According to the Wiki page Suzy provided, these people are from medieval legend and their historical existence is very doubtful. It's like trying to claim you are descended from one of the knights of the round table, or one of Robin Hood's merry man... they're not real people.
