About the test
Spain: Post-Visigothic Hispania – Kingdoms, Caliphates, and Crusaders
Few regions in Europe experienced a medieval history as dramatic, complex, and transformative as Spain after the fall of the Visigothic Kingdom. This compendium invites you into an era of collapsing empires and rising powers, where Gothic kings, Carolingian rulers, Islamic scholars, and Christian knights all shaped the destiny of Iberia. These were centuries of conquest and coexistence, faith and warfare, castles and caliphates—an age that forged the cultural and genetic foundations of modern Spain.
By reconstructing the DNA of 124 medieval individuals from Spain and wider Europe, this test captures more than 700 years of continuous history, spanning from 482 AD to 1200 AD. It traces the transition from the Visigothic world to Carolingian influence, the flowering of Moorish Al-Andalus, and the rise of knightly orders and crusading ideology. This is not a single story—it is a convergence of many, all unfolding on Iberian soil.
What tests are included in this compendium?
This compendium unites nine of our premier medieval genomic reconstructions, each representing a defining population, ideology, or power structure that shaped post-Visigothic Spain and its European connections.
You will receive a deeply integrated ancestral profile combining genetic data with historical, archaeological, and paleogenetic context. Each individual includes a detailed profile covering daily life, religious affiliation, social status, warfare, and cultural identity. This compendium allows you to trace how empires fell, faiths spread, and societies transformed—and how your own ancestry may intersect with this defining chapter of European history.
This is more than a medieval DNA test. It is a reconstruction of a world in motion—where Visigothic kings gave way to Carolingian rulers, Islamic scholars transformed Iberia, and knights marched under banners of faith and empire. Step into post-Visigothic Hispania and discover whether your genetic story carries echoes of one of the most pivotal eras in human history.

Why take this test
In the most information-rich era in human history, we’re still limited by one vast unknown—the lives and identities of our ancient ancestors. While our digital age connects us globally, our roots remain largely a mystery, concealed by time and sparse records. Ancient DNA Hub aims to bridge this gap with revolutionary ancient DNA tests, allowing you to trace your roots back to the ancient world in a way once unimaginable.
Before 2010, reading the DNA of ancient people was a distant dream. That changed when scientists sequenced the DNA of a Neanderthal who lived over 30,000 years ago. This breakthrough unlocked the secrets of ancient genomes from people who lived between 15,000 BC and 1800 AD, spreading paleogenomic research across time and continents. Now, a new generation of DNA testing no longer relies on modern populations as stand-ins for ancient tribes. Instead, it goes right to the source, using the DNA of the ancients themselves.
Ancient DNA Hub’s Tests are the first of their kind, crafted solely from the DNA of ancient peoples through our pioneering technology. With our tests, you will receive a uniquely detailed ancient ancestry report, pinpointing specific regions and tribal connections more accurately than ever. Imagine discovering lands, tribes, and empires where your ancestors lived, fought, created, and dreamed millennia ago. By merging genetic data with the knowledge of history and archaeology, Ancient DNA Hub brings the past to life—helping you connect to your heritage on the most personal level.
