Genealogy - what relation is this person to my son?

There's a famous 19th century poet in my family tree (I'll call him "FP," for Famous Poet), and I want to determine what relation he is to my son, if there is a name that can be put on that relationship...My son's great-times-ten grandfather (that's 10 "greats") had a brother. That brother had a great-grandson, and he's the FP in question.So the FP's great-uncle is my son's great-times-ten grandfather. Is there a simple way to explain what the FP's relationship is to my son? My son is not a direct descendant, but the FP is definitely in the family tree!Thanks!
