    Dardanus King of Arcadia is your 119th great grandfather.

    Greek mythology, Dardanus ("burner up") founder of the city of Dardania

    this person is referenced as same person

    http://www.geni.com/profile/index/6000000006743547923

    1 Chronicles 2:6 - http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt25a02.htm#6

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dardanus

    While many "sources" claim biblical Dara and Dardanus are the same person,
    this is VERY sloppy genealogy,
    as Dardanus lived at least 800 years after the times-frame for Dara.
    But so be it.

    Birth Date c. -1519 or -1710

    Death Date: -1414 or -1449

    --------------------

    "Zerah's son Ethan, very wise, and indeed this line of Judah- Zerah
    is the only royal line termed wise, on the other hand led his people north,
    from Egypt where he was born, into what is now Asia Minor,
    and his son Mahol continued likewise.

    Mahol's heir, Darda, reached the western shore,
    where on a commanding site; he founded the metropolis of Troy.

    The date is 1520 B.C. Here the city flourished for nearly four hundred years.

    Darda first saw the straits that separated Europe and Asia and gave them his name, Dardanelles.

    Darda also founded a fort here that is named after him.

    But the greatest honor is recorded in the Bible,
    Solomon was 'wiser than all men; than ... Darda the son of Mahol.'

    Thus great were the founder of Troy and the sire of the Trojan race
    whose children abide with us still.

    Troy fell because her sons had an eye for the refined and beautiful in women.

    Her descendants have that exquisite eye still
    and are naturally very proud of the accomplishment.

    source:http://users.mo-net.com/mlindste/ce092003.html

    --------------------

    King Darda (Dardanus) Of DARDANIA

    Born: Troy, Turkey

    Marriage: Princess Batea Of TEUCRI

    Died: Abt 1414 B.C., Rameses, Goshen, Egypt

    Spouses/Children:

    Princess Batea Of TEUCRI

    Erichthonius Of TROY+

    General Notes:

    Death noted on Lewis Ancestry as 1414 BC Hecataeus of Abdera,
    a fourth-century B.C. Greek historian,
    states that "Now the Egyptians say that also after these events
    [the plagues of Exodus] a great number of colonies were SPREAD FROM EGYPT
    all over the inhabited world...

    They say also that those who set forth with DANAUS,
    likewise from Egypt, settled what is practically the oldest city of Greece,
    Argos, and that the nations of the COLCHI IN PONTUS
    and that of the Jews (remnant of Judah),
    which lies BETWEEN ARABIA AND SYRIA,
    were founded as colonies by certain emigrants from their country [Egypt];
    and this is the reason why it is a long-established institution
    among these peoples to CIRCUMCISE their male children,
    the custom having been brought over FROM EGYPT.

    Even the ATHENIANS, they say, are colonists from SAIS IN EGYPT."
    (Quoted from Diodorus of Sicily.
    G. H. Oldfather, 1933. Vol I, bks I-II, 1-34, p.91).

    An examination of some of the historical clues reveals that there lived in Egypt -- during the time of the bondage of the Israelites
    -- a man named DARDA.

    According to E. Raymond Capt, "Darda, "the Egyptian," (son of Zarah)
    was "DARDANUS," the EGYPTIAN FOUNDER OF TROY."
    (Jacob's Pillar. Artisan Sales, Thousand Oaks, CA. 1977. P. 25).

    The early migration of Darda is noted in the book How Israel Came to Britain: Actually, groups of Israelites began to migrate away
    from the main body BEFORE THE ISRAEL NATION WAS FORMED
    -- while, as a people, they were STILL IN BONDAGE IN EGYPT.

    One of these groups under the leadership of Calcol,
    a prince of the tribe of Judah,
    went westward across the Mediterranean eventually settling in Ulster [Ireland].

    ANOTHER, under the leadership of DARDANUS, a brother of Calcol,
    CROSSED TO ASIA MINOR to found the Kingdom later known as TROY.
    -- Canadian British Israel Assn. Windsor, Ontario. P.2.

    This article is about the terms Dardan and Dardanian in classical writings.

    For the Shannara character, see Dardan (Shannara).

    See also: Dardani

    The terms Dardan and Dardanian in classical writings were synonymous
    with the term Trojan, the Dardans being Trojans,
    an ancient people of the Troad in northwestern Anatolia.

    The Dardans derived their name from Dardanus,
    the mythical founder of Dardania (Asia minor),
    an ancient city in the Troad.

    Rule of the Troad was divided between Dardania and Troy.

    Homer makes a clear distinction between the Trojans and the Dardanians.[1]

    The Royal House of Troy was also divided into two branches,
    that of Dardania, and that of Troy (or Ilium).

    The House of Dardania was older than the House of Troy,
    but Troy later became more powerful than Dardania.

    Aeneas is referred to in Virgil's Aeneid interchangeably
    as a Dardan or as a Trojan,
    but strictly speaking Aeneas was of the Dardanian branch.

    Many rulers of Rome claimed descent from Aeneas
    and the Houses of Troy and Dardania.

    The strait of the Dardanelles was named after the Dardans,
    who lived in the region.

    The ethnic affinities of the Dardans (and Trojans)
    and the nature of their language remain a mystery.

    The remains of their material culture reveal close ties with Thracians,
    other Anatolian groups, and Greek contact.

    Archaeological finds from the Troad dating back to the Chalcolithic period
    show striking affinity to archaeological finds known from the same era
    in Muntenia and Moldavia, and there are other traces which suggest
    close ties between the Troad and the Carpatho-Balkan region of Europe.

    Archaeologists in fact have stated that the styles of certain ceramic objects and bone figurines show that these objects were brought into the Troad by Carpatho-Danubian colonists; for example,
    certain ceramic objects have been shown to have Cucuteni origins [2].
    They are totally unrelated to the later Thraco-Illyrian tribe
    of the same name [3].

    Dardania (Anatolia)

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    (Redirected from Dardania (Asia minor))

    Dardania in Greek mythology is the name of a city founded on Mount Ida
    by Dardanus from which also the region and the people took their name.
    It lay on the Hellespont,
    and is the source of the strait's modern name, the Dardanelles.

    From Dardanus' grandson Tros the people gained
    the additional name of Trojans and the region gained
    the additional name Troad. Tros' son Ilus
    subsequently founded a further city called Ilion (in Latin Ilium)
    down on the plain,
    the city now more commonly called Troy, and the kingdom was split between Ilium and Dardania.

    Dardania has also been defined as "a district of the Troad, lying along the Hellespont, southwest of Abydos, and adjacent to the territory of Ilium. Its people (Dardani) appear in the Trojan War under Aeneas, in close alliance with the Trojans, with whose name their own is often interchanged, especially by the Roman poets."[1]

    Dardanus

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    For other uses, see Dardanus (disambiguation).

    In Greek mythology, Dardanus (Greek: Δάρδανος, English translation: "burned up",
    from the verb δαρδάπτω (dardapto) to wear, to slay, to burn up)
    [1] was a son of Zeus and Electra, daughter of Atlas,
    and founder of the city of Dardania on Mount Ida in the Troad.

    Dionysius of Halicarnassus (1.61–62) states that Dardanus' original home
    was in Arcadia where Dardanus and his elder brother Iasus
    (elsewhere more commonly called Iasion) reigned as kings following Atlas.

    Dardanus married Chryse daughter of Pallas by whom he fathered two sons:
    Idaeus and Dymas.

    When a great flood occurred, the survivors,
    who were living on mountains that had now become islands,
    split into two groups:
    one group remained and took Deimas as king while the other sailed away,
    eventually settling in the island of Samothrace.

    There Iasus (Iasion) was slain by Zeus for lying with Demeter.

    Dardanus and his people found the land poor and so most of them set sail for Asia.

    However another account by Virgil in his Aeneid (3.163f),
    has Aeneas in a dream learn from his ancestral Penates
    that "Dardanus and Father Iasius" and the Penates themselves
    originally came from Hesperia which was afterward renamed as Italy.

    This tradition holds that Dardanus was a Tyrrhenian prince,
    and that his mother Electra was married to Corythus, king of Tarquinia
    (Aeneid 7.195-242; 8. 596 ss. ; 9. 10; Servio, ad Vergilium, Aeneidos, 9.10).

    Other accounts make no mention of Arcadia or Hesperia,
    though they sometimes mention a flood and speak of Dardanus sailing
    on a hide-raft (as part of the flood story?)
    from Samothrace to the Troad near Abydos.

    All accounts agree that Dardanus came to the Troad from Samothrace
    and was there welcomed by King Teucer and that Dardanus married Batea
    the daughter of Teucer.

    (Dionysius mentions that Dardanus' first wife Chryse had died.)

    Dardanus received land on Mount Ida from his father-in-law.

    There Dardanus founded the city of Dardania.

    Dardanus' children by Batea were Ilus, Erichthonius and Idaea.

    According to Dionysius of Halicarnassus (1.50.3),
    Dardanus also had a son named Zacynthus by Bataea
    and this Zacynthus was the first settler on the island afterwards called Zacynthus.

    Dionysius also says (1.61.4) that Dardanus's son Idaeus gave his name
    to the Idaean mountains, that is Mount Ida,
    where Idaeus built a temple to the Mother of the Gods (that is to Cybele)
    and instituted mysteries and ceremonies still observed in Phrygia
    in Dionysius's time.

    There are operas on the subject of Dardanus by Jean-Philippe Rameau (1739), Carl Stamitz (1770) and Antonio Sacchini (1784).

    Dardanus founded a city in the region that later was called the Troad,
    and lived there with his family until the death of his father-in-law,
    upon which he became king of the whole land and called it Dardania after himself.

    According to some, Batia was Dardanus's second wife,
    whom he married after the death of his first wife Chryse.

    His sons by her were Idaeus and Deimas.

    The latter stayed in Arcadia , whence they come
    (as it is said that Atlas was king of Arcadia ),
    but Idaeus emigrated with Dardanus, first to Samothrace,
    and later to Phrygia , where Mount Ida was called after him

    Biblical basis for Darda

    Persistent secular legends from Greece and Rome identify Dara as Dardanus,
    founder of ancient Troy.[1]
    At least one translation of the Antiquities of Flavius Josephus,
    in mentioning King Solomon as being wiser than two men named Calcol
    and Dara (Darda), gives Dara's name as "Dardanos."
    So perhaps Dara and Dardanus were regarded as the same man during the first century AD.[2]

    As a further complication, the Greek poet Homer says
    that Dardanus was a son (or descendant) of Zeus, the chief of the Greek gods.[3],

    The Roman and Greek legends say that Zeus (called Jupiter in Latin)
    was a son of Saturn who was also called Kronus.

    Writing of the Greek gods, Sanchuniathon, a Phoenician historian,
    says that "Kronus, whom the Phoenicians called Israel, had a son Jehud."[4]

    From the above, some would cite Homer and Sanchuniathon as testifying
    that Dardanus (who founded the Trojan kingdom)
    was a descendant of Jehud (Judah) whose father was Israel.

    However, this deduction ignores the repeated custom that each Greek city
    followed as the cult of Zeus spread to it:
    they would identify their own municipal god-founder as Zeus
    and thus subsume their municipal cult into the cult of Zeus.
    Therefore no identification of Zeus with Judah could possibly be conclusive.
    In any event the Bible gives no direct evidence that the Zarhites,
    or any branches of that clan, abandoned the forty-year march
    of the Israelites and traveled to the Aegean Sea or the Black Sea
    (called the Euxine or Friendly Sea in those days) to found their own kingdoms.

    That at least some Hebrew manuscripts, including the Westminster Leningrad Codex, lack 1_Kings 4:20-34 , including the key verse that spells the name of Dara as "Darda", might or might not be significant. -------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dardanus --------------------
    The Trojans were descendants of Atlas. Dardanus 1, son of Electra 3,
    daughter of Atlas, is at the beginning of the house of Troy,
    for Dardanus 1 is father of Erichthonius 1, father of Tros 1
    (after whom the Trojans are called),
    father of Ilus 2 (founder of Ilium, that is, Troy),
    father of Laomedon 1, father of Priam 1, who was king when the city was destroyed.

    FEMALE APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION
    by Kimberleyann Montgomery (Notes)
    on Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 5:01pm


    Were Jesus & Mary Magdalene on the holy Isle of Iona?

    The Johannine Celtic Church ;

    The Celtic Church & the monastic tradition of the

    Middle East

    E-zine archive


    *WAS THERE A FEMALE APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION? **

    by Barry Dunford*


    A 19th century French researcher, Édouard Schuré, in his work

    The Great Initiates: A Study of the Secret History of Religions,

    first published

    in 1889, writes: "Women have a special place among Jesus followers.

    Christ is the restorer and liberator of women,

    whatever Saint Paul and the Church Fathers may have said.

    Christ elevates her by

    restoring her mission of love and divination. The woman initiate

    represents the soul in mankind.

    that is, the power of Intuition, the loving and seeing faculty.

    The turbulent Mary Magdalene became his most

    ardent disciple.

    It was she, according to Saint John, who first saw the

    divine teacher, the spiritual Christ, risen from his tomb.

    Legend has insisted in seeing in this ardent and believing woman Jesus' greatest

    worshipper, the initiate of the heart, and legend is not mistaken,

    for her story represents the entire regeneration of woman as desired by the Christ."

    The spiritual role of women was also recognised in the pre-Christian

    Druid tradition.

    According to the Welsh bard, Edward Jones:

    "Beside the Druids, the Britons had Druidesses, who assisted in the offices of

    religion, and shared in the honours and emoluments of the priesthood.

    The Druidesses of Gaul and Britain are said to have been divided into

    three ranks, or classes." (The Bardic Museum of Primitive British

    Literature, 1802).

    The Rev. Richard Smiddy also writes: "It appears

    that females were, at one time, admitted to the order or fraternity of

    the Druids, and that they were appointed to fill certain offices in

    connection with the oracles or suil-bheil.

    Hence, the name of sibyl or sibylla, of the Latins.

    A female of this class was called a bean-draoi,

    that is, 'a woman Druid'; and by the name was meant a priestess,

    prophetess, or enchantress.

    We have already seen that the suil-beal,

    that is, the sibyl, or oracle, was an institution of the Druids.

    It is stated that some of these oracles, or sibyls, uttered matters in

    connection with the life of the future Redeemer." (An Essay on the

    Druids, the Ancient Churches and the Round Towers of Ireland, 1871).

    Interestingly, Dr. John A. Goodchild notes: "I have been working

    hard at various old puzzles relating to the Mother-Church at Glaston.

    I am pretty clear of this, that from the establishment of that Church

    before the middle of the 1st century, a woman, always a Princess of the

    Royal Blood, was its Supreme Head and Nursing Mother, until she laid

    down her authority about the middle of the 6th century at an Irish

    Church Congress held under the presidency of Comgal of Bangor."

    (Ref.
    The Avalonians/ by Patrick Benham, 1993)



    The canonical gospels of the New Testament record the presence of a

    number of women disciples around Jesus, especially Mary Magdalene.

    Could there have been a female apostolic succession which ostensibly has gone unrecorded

    in the official history books?

    In the Christian Gnostic texts Mary Magdalene is referred to as

    "the apostle to the apostles" and in France (ancient Celtic Gaul) she is

    known as the "apostle of Provence".

    There is also a tradition of another

    female disciple of Jesus called Lourda who founded Lourdes in France.

    Looking at the possible role of female Christian initiates within the

    Church of Christ, in some instances they may have been ordained under

    the title of Deaconess. Moreover, the Celtic female saints were often

    associated with holy wells and springs which could suggest a continuity

    with the pre-Christian Annat tradition relating to the mother Goddess

    Anaitis who may have been associated with lunar worship.

    In the ancient Pagan era the moon held priority to the sun in

    celtic devotion.

    In fact, the celtic calendar is lunar based.

    Interestingly, the gaelic celts saw the moon as masculine and the sun as

    feminine.

    *Examples of female Celtic Saints: *

    St. Etheldreda, a 7th century British saint, daughter of a British King.

    Married a King of Northumbria.

    Later became an Abbess founding a

    monastery at Ely in East Anglia on the site of the present cathedral.



    St. Winifred (Gwenfrewi in welsh meaning radiant freda).

    Gwen can mean white, shining or holy.

    She was a niece of St. Beuno (6th century) who

    claimed descent from a relative of the Holy Family of Jesus.

    She was renowned for her healing well at Holywell in North Wales.

    On the seal of the cathedral chapter of St. Asaph, in Wales,

    she appears as an Abbess

    bearing a crozier which was a symbol of leadership and authority.



    St. Ita (Ytha).

    Born in 480 A. D of noble descent in County Waterford,

    Ireland.

    She founded a monastic settlement at Killeedy (Cill Ide).

    She is said to have died in 570 A. D and was known as

    "the foster mother of the saints of Ireland",

    because she was a mother figure to several of

    Ireland's early saints, including St. Brendan.

    Her symbol was a cross

    with a heart at the centre of a small labyrinth.



    St. Hilda (614-680 A. D).

    She was the niece of King Edwin of Northumbria.

    She studied the traditions of Celtic monasticism which St. Aiden brought from Iona.

    St. Aiden later appointed St. Hilda as an

    Abbess and she founded a monastery at Whitby in north Yorkshire.

    Archeological evidence shows that her monastery was in the celtic style

    with its members living in small houses for two or three people.

    She gained such a reputation for wisdom that kings and princes sought her advice.



    St. Bega. A 7th century saint who came from County Down in Ireland to

    north Britain and apparently founded a small female religious community

    inspired by St. Aiden. Place names link St. Bega with Cumbria, northern

    England, and the Scottish borders.

    She also associated with St. Hilda

    and St. Etheldreda.



    St. Brigid or Brigit (453-523 A. D) who founded a monastery for both

    monks and nuns at Kildare in Ireland.

    She is said to be buried at

    Downpatrick together with St. Patrick and St. Columba, which clearly

    shows that St. Brigid was highly venerated in the early Celtic Church.

    It has been suggested that Kildare may have been the site of an earlier

    Druid seat of learning.



    St. Winifred St. Ita St. Bridget

    *St. Winifred *



    *St. Ita *



    *St. Bridget *



    Like their male counterparts, all of these female saints were of royal and noble descent.

    Could they have been initiates of a Johannine Celtic Church?

    It may be of interest to note that traditionally St. John,

    together with the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene, was at Ephesus in Anatolia, Asia Minor,

    where there was a major mystery temple dedicated to Artemis, a moon goddess,

    whom the Greeks also called Diana.

    This Temple was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

    The Johannine mystery tradition may have incorporated an initiatic tradition which

    could have included women as well as men.



    *Women Deacons in the early Christian Church*



    In her Studies in Early Mysticism in the Near and Middle East (1931),

    Margaret Smith writes:

    "Asceticism and the monastic life found almost as many adherents among the women

    of the early Christian Church as among the men.

    Women held a high position in the early Christian Church;

    we note that St. Paul salutes fifteen women alongside of eighteen men.

    Women exercised the prophetic office,

    and Priscilla, whose name is twice mentioned before that of her husband by St. Paul,

    as if she held a more prominent position in the Church, was evidently a missionary and teacher of distinction, and it has been suggested, with some reason, that she was the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews.

    The order of deaconesses

    (ministræ) is mentioned by Pliny, and there appears to have been an order of regular female ascetics,

    who formed an important part of the organisation of the Church in the first three centuries,

    and had their names enrolled on the list of church officials.

    The Acts of Paul and Thekla, written about A. D. 179, which appears to contain some genuine

    information about St. Paul, gives a prominent role to women, as prophetesses,

    and above all to the 'apostle' Thekla of Iconium, who is said to have baptised,

    and to have enlightened many with the word of God.

    Origen had a number of women pupils.

    Up to the end of the second century or later, women appear to have been prominent in the Christian

    Church as deaconesses, prophetesses, teachers and missionaries.

    Women seem, indeed, to have been in the majority, at least among the upper classes,

    in the early Christian Church, and in the persecution of Licinius, about A. D. 322,

    special prohibitions were directed against women, as if the emperor realised that the strength

    of Christianity lay in its women members."



    Regarding the female 'apostle' Thecla, in her work "The Lost Apostle" (2006)

    Rena Pederson writes: "There are multiple examples of art honoring Thecla in Egypt.

    In Rome, scholars found a sarcophagus with a relief showing Paul and Thecla traveling together in a boat.

    A catacomb of St. Thecla can be found on the Via Ostiensis, not far from the burial

    place of St. Paul, and is mentioned in the seventh-century itineraries

    to the graves of the Roman martyrs.

    Santa Thecla also is the patron saint of Tarragona, Spain,

    and there are Iberian wall designs from the first century showing Paul preaching to Thecla.

    There appear to have been attempts to obscure Thecla's role in later years.

    One of the foremost Jesus scholars in the United States, John Dominic Crossan, of

    DePaul University, and Jonathan L. Reed, a leading authority on first-century Palestinian archaeology,

    recently brought to light an attempt to suppress the Thecla story.

    In their book In Search of Paul, Crossan and Reed tell of a cave that was discovered around 1906,

    high above the ruins of Ephesus.

    Just to the right of the entrance are two sixth-century images of St. Thecla and St. Paul.

    Both are the same height, an iconographic sign that they are of equal importance.

    Both have their right hands raised in a blessing gesture, again an

    iconographic sign that they are of equal authority.

    While the image of Paul was left untouched over the centuries, someone later scratched out

    the eyes and upraised fingers of the Thecla figure, erasing her blessing gesture.

    If both figures had been disfigured, Crossan and Reed point out,

    it could be chalked up as a random act of vandalism.

    But it was only the Thecla figure that was defaced.

    Paul remains as an authority figure.

    The woman is blinded and silenced.

    Crossan and Reed observe that

    'even the cave's present name, 'St. Paul's Grotto,' continues the

    negation of female-male equality once depicted on the walls'."

    During the early centuries A. D. the Celtic Church in the west tended to

    follow the traditional mode of worship of the Eastern Church (rather than the Roman Church).

    We find that St. Paul's letters mention a number

    of Christian women in the ministry by name and this was clearly the case

    with the Celtic Christian Church in Britain. St. Clement of Alexandria (150-215)

    testifies to women deacons, ascribing tasks to them that would

    still be entrusted to ordain women deacons centuries later:

    "The apostles, giving themselves without respite to the work of evangelism as

    befitted their ministry, took with them women, not as wives but as sisters,

    so that they might serve as their co-ministers, serving women living at home:

    by their agency the teaching of the Lord reached the

    women's quarters without arousing suspicion.

    We are also aware of all the things Paul prescribed on the subject of women deacons in one of the

    two letters to Timothy."


    In the 2nd and 3rd centuries women continued to be involved in the apostolate.

    The Didascalia Apostolorum (c. 250 A. D), a pastoral handbook,

    urges Bishops to ordain men and women deacons.

    The Council of Nicea (325 A. D) witnessed to the existence of women deacons.

    The Greek Fathers of the 3rd, 4th and 5th centuries mention women deacons.

    The Apostolic Constitutions (380 A. D), another collection of pastoral directives,

    repeated the instructions on women deacons already found in the Didascalia.

    It also preserved the oldest known ordination rite for women deacons.


    A 4th century tombstone in Jerusalem commemorates a deacon called Sophia.

    The Greek text reads "Here lies the servant and bride of Christ,

    Sophia, the (woman) deacon."

    In Cicilia, in modern Turkey, five tombs honouring the memory of women deacons have been found.

    In Jerusalem, four women deacons are recorded on tombstones

    and another four elsewhere in Palestine.

    The ancient calendar of saints for the Greek-Byzantine part of the church fixed feast days for 26 women deacons.

    They provide evidence for the impact women deacons had upon their local church communities.

    In Gaul (ancient France) we find women deacons such as

    St. Radegunde and St. Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris.

    Some women deacons were nuns at the same time, often superiors of convents

    so that they could attend to the spiritual needs of their sisters.

    This may explain how in the West traces of the diaconate ordination were retained in the installation

    of prioresses and abbesses of some orders of women.

    The laws of Justinian more than once mention the men and women under the heading "men and women deacons".

    The Didascalia of the apostles (c. 250 A. D) was a pastoral handbook for bishops,

    presented as instructions left by the apostles.

    Originally composed in Greek it was translated into Syriac, Arabic and Latin.

    (Interestingly, in the Latin which is the only version available for

    this text, the term 'Diaconissa' appears.)

    This apostolic pastoral handbook states:

    "We assert that the ministry of a woman deacon is

    especially required and urgent. For our Lord and Saviour was himself

    served by women deacons, such as Mary Magdalene, Mary, the daughter of James and mother of Joseph,

    and the mother of the sons of Zebedee, along with still other women."

    The original Greek word for deacon meant "servant" and it was used as a term for both men and women.

    In Christian communities it indicated a special ministry to which persons were assigned by ordination.

    As an interesting aside, the Rev. William Lee Ker, in his book Mother Lodge Kilwinning:

    the Ancient Lodge of Scotland, published in 1896,

    says that: "The Grand Deacons of Mother Kilwinning from 1642 to 1732

    were to all intents and purposes the Grand Masters."

    We know that Kilwinning was at one time the site of a Culdee Community.

    Could the use of the term Deacon in this instance imply a possible continuity

    from the Culdee Christian Order to Scottish

    Freemasonry?

    Women in Holy Orders

    *St. Mary mosaic, San Venanzio*



    Finally, there is an interesting mosaic in the oratory of San Venanzio

    in Rome dated 642 A.D. which was made under Popes John IV and Theodorus,

    both Greeks by birth.

    The image shows the Virgin Mary, praying with her hands outstretched,

    apparently with two haloed female companions. Her main dress is a tunic.

    Her veil is part of the mantle. It covers her head and her upper body and flows down all the way

    to just above her ankles, revealing a tunic in front. Coming down from underneath her veil,

    but over the tunic, we can see a bishop's pallium marked with a cross.

    Women deacons wore their stole in the same way, but in their case

    two extremities would hang in front.

    (Ref. No Women in Holy Order - The Women Deacons of the Early Church by John Wijngaards, 2002)



    Could there have been a female apostolic succession from the Virgin Mary

    just as there was a male apostolic succession ordained by her son Jesus?


    Could this perhaps have been written out of the ostensible historical

    records by male scribes acting under the instruction and supervision of

    a patriarchally dominated church?

    With the information to hand at present we can but speculate and wonder.

    We should also remember that a number of celtic royal saints, both male and female,

    claimed genealogical descent from the family of the Mother of Christ.

    This might also reinforce the notion of a possible hereditary right of succession.

    Hereditary succession was central to the Culdee communities

    and fifteen unbroken generations have been listed at Armagh,

    the ecclesiastical primacy of the Celtic church in Ireland.

    It is also possible that a female apostolic succession could have been founded on a family and

    hereditary basis from women who were directly related to the Holy Family of Christ.

    It is said that he had 24 sons and 24 daughters. Many historians believe that children were falsely attributed to him in an attempt to "connect" with his family because it is one of the "Holy Families" of Briton.

    Scope of Project

    This project identifies Saints from all religions who have ancestry here on Geni.

    Overview

    Saints are individuals of exceptional holiness who are important in many religions, particularly Christianity.

    Though the term is mostly used for Christians considered exceptionally virtuous, many religions use similar concepts to venerate individuals worthy of honor in some way, e.g., see Hindu saints. John A. Coleman S.J., Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley,[3] wrote that saints across various cultures and religions have the following family resemblances: exemplary model; extraordinary teacher; wonder worker or source of benevolent power; intercessor; selfless, ascetic behavior; and possessor of a special and revelatory relation to the holy.[4] While there are parallels between these (and other) concepts and that of sainthood, each of these concepts has specific meanings within a given religion.[citation needed] Also, new religious movements have sometimes taken to using the word in cases where the people so named would not be regarded as saints within mainstream Christianity. Some of the Cao Dai saints and saints of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica are examples of such.[citation needed] The anthropologist [5] Lawrence Babb in an article about Sathya Sai Baba asks the question "Who is a saint?", and responds by saying that in the symbolic infrastructure of some religions, there is the image of a certain extraordinary spiritual king's "miraculous powers", to whom frequently a certain moral presence is attributed. These saintly figures, he asserts, are "the focal points of spiritual force-fields," exerting "powerful attractive influence on followers but touch the inner lives of others in transforming ways as well."

    Christianity

    Roman Catholic Church

    One Roman Catholic website states that "There are over 10,000 named saints and beati from history, the Roman Martyrology and Orthodox sources, but no definitive head count".[7] Rev. Alban Butler, published Lives of the Saints in 1756, containing 1,486 saints. The latest edition of this work, edited by Father Herbert Thurston, S.J., and British author Donald Attwater, contains the lives of 2,565 saints.[8] Monsignor Robert Sarno, an official of Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints, expressed that it is impossible to say the exact number of saints.[9] The Catholic Church teaches that it does not, in fact, make anyone a saint. Rather, it recognizes a saint.[10] In the Church, the title of Saint refers to a person who has been formally canonized (officially recognized) by the Catholic Church, and is therefore believed to be in Heaven. By this definition there are many people believed to be in Heaven who have not been formally declared as saints (most typically due to their obscurity and the involved process of formal canonization) but who may nevertheless generically be referred to as saints. All in Heaven are, in the technical sense, saints, since they are believed to be completely perfected in holiness.[11] Unofficial devotions to uncanonized individuals take place in certain regions.[12] Sometimes the word "saint" is used to refer to Christians still sojourning here on earth.[1] In his book, Saint of the Day, editor Leonard Foley, OFM, says this of saints: "[Saints'] surrender to God's love was so generous an approach to the total surrender of Jesus that the Church recognizes them as heroes and heroines worthy to be held up for our inspiration. They remind us that the Church is holy, can never stop being holy and is called to show the holiness of God by living the life of Christ." [13] In his book, Making Saints: How the Catholic Church Determines Who Becomes a Saint, Who Doesn't and Why, author Kenneth Woodward notes the following: A saint is always someone through whom we catch a glimpse of what God is like -- and of what we are called to be. Only God 'makes' saints, of course. The church merely identifies from time to time a few of these for emulation. The church then tells the story. But the author is the Source of the grace by which saints live. And there we have it: A saint is someone whose story God tells.[14] The veneration of saints, in Latin, cultus, or the "cult of the saints", describes a particular popular devotion to the saints. Although the term "worship" is sometimes used, it is intended in the old-sense meaning to honor or give respect (dulia). According to the Catholic Church, Divine Worship is properly reserved only for God (latria) and never to the saints.[15] They can be asked to intercede or pray for those still on earth,[16] just as one can ask someone on earth to pray for them. A saint may be designated as a patron saint of a particular cause or profession, or invoked against specific illnesses or disasters, sometimes by popular custom and sometimes by official statements of the Magisterium.[17] Saints are not thought to have power of their own, but only that granted by God. Relics of saints are respected in a similar manner to holy images and icons. The practices of past centuries in venerating relics of saints for healing is taken from the early Church.[18] For example, an American deacon claimed in 2000 that Blessed John Henry Newman interceded with God to cure him. The American, Jack Sullivan, asserted that after addressing Newman he was cured of spinal stenosis in a matter of hours. In 2009, a panel of theologians concluded that Sullivan's recovery was the result of his prayer to Newman. According to the Catholic Church, to be deemed a miracle, "a medical recovery must be instantaneous, not attributable to treatment, disappear for good."[19] Once a person has been declared a saint, the body of the saint is considered holy.[20] The remains of saints are called holy relics and are usually used in churches. Saints' personal belongings may also be used as relics.[20] Some of the saints have a symbol that represents their life. In Church tradition, a person who is seen as exceptionally holy can be declared a saint by a formal process, called canonization. Formal canonization is a lengthy process often taking many years, even centuries.[21] The first step in this process is an investigation of the candidate's life, undertaken by an expert. After this, the report on the candidate is given to the bishop of the area and more studying is done. It is then sent to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome.[22] If the application is approved, the person may be granted the title of "Venerable".[22] Further investigations may lead to the candidate's beatification and given title of "Blessed."[22] At a minimum, two important miracles are required to be formally declared a saint. These miracles must be posthumous. [22] Finally, when all of this is done the Pope canonizes the saint.

    Eastern Orthodoxy

    In the Eastern Orthodox Church a saint is defined as anyone who is in Heaven, whether recognized here on earth, or not.[2] By this definition, Adam and Eve, Moses, the various prophets, except for the angels and archangels are all given the title of "Saint". Sainthood in the Orthodox Church does not necessarily reflect a moral model, but the communion with God: there are countless examples of people who lived in great sin and became saints by humility and repentance, such as Mary of Egypt, Moses the Ethiopian, and of course Dysmas, the repentant thief who was crucified. Therefore, a more complete definition of what a saint is, has to do with the way that saints, through their humility and their love of humankind, saved inside them the entire Church, and loved all people. Orthodox belief considers that God reveals his saints through answered prayers and other miracles.[2] Saints are usually recognized by a local community, often by people who directly knew them. As their popularity grows they are often then recognized by the entire church. The formal process of recognition involves deliberation by a synod of bishops.[2] If successful, this is followed by a service of Glorification in which the Saint is given a day on the church calendar to be celebrated by the entire church.[23] This does not, however, make the person a saint; the person already was a saint and the Church ultimately recognized it. It is believed that one of the ways the holiness (sanctity) of a person is revealed, is through the condition of their relics (remains).[citation needed] In some Orthodox countries (such as Greece, but not in Russia) graves are often reused after 3 to 5 years because of limited space. Bones are washed and placed in an ossuary, often with the person's name written on the skull. Occasionally when a body is exhumed something miraculous is reported as having occurred; exhumed bones are claimed to have given off a fragrance, like flowers, or a body is reported as having remained free of decay, despite not having been embalmed (traditionally the Orthodox do not embalm the dead) and having been buried for some years in the earth.[citation needed] The reason relics are considered sacred is because, for the Orthodox, the separation of body and soul is unnatural.[citation needed] Body and soul both comprise the person, and in the end, body and soul will be reunited; therefore, the body of a saint shares in the “Holiness” of the soul of the saint.[citation needed] As a general rule only clergy will touch relics in order to move them or carry them in procession, however, in veneration the faithful will kiss the relic to show love and respect toward the saint.[citation needed] Every altar in every Orthodox church contains relics, usually of martyrs. Church interiors are covered with the Icons of saints.[citation needed] Because the Church shows no true distinction between the living and the dead (the saints are considered to be alive in Heaven), saints are referred to as if they were still alive. Saints are venerated but not worshipped. They are believed to be able to intercede for salvation and help mankind either through direct communion with God, or by personal intervention. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the titles "Όσιος" for men and "Οσία" for women are also used.[citation needed] This is a title attributed to saints who had lived a monastic or eremitic life, and it is equal to the more usual title of "Saint".

    Anglicanism

    In the Anglican Communion and the Continuing Anglican movement, the title of Saint refers to a person who has been elevated by popular opinion as a pious and holy person. The saints are seen as models of holiness to be imitated, and as a 'cloud of witnesses' that strengthen and encourage the believer during his or her spiritual journey (Hebrews 12:1). The saints are seen as elder brothers and sisters in Christ. Official Anglican creeds recognise the existence of the saints in heaven. So far as invocation of the saints is concerned,[24] one of the Church of England's Articles of Religion "Of Purgatory" condemns "the Romish Doctrine concerning...(the) Invocation of Saints" as "a fond thing vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God". However, each of the 44 member churches in the Anglican Communion are free to adopt and authorise their own official documents, and the Articles are not officially normative in all of them (e.g., The Episcopal Church USA, which relegates them to "Historical Documents"). Anglo-Catholics in Anglican provinces using the Articles often make a distinction between a "Romish" and a "Patristic" doctrine concerning the invocation of saints, permitting the latter. In high-church contexts, such as Anglo-Catholicism, a saint is generally one to whom has been attributed (and who has generally demonstrated) a high level of holiness and sanctity. In this use, a saint is therefore not a believer, but one who has been transformed by virtue. In Roman Catholicism, a saint is a special sign of God's activity. The veneration of saints is sometimes misunderstood to be worship, in which case it is derisively termed "hagiolatry". Some Anglicans and Anglican churches, particularly Anglo-Catholics, personally ask prayers of the saints. However, such a practice is seldom found in any official Anglican liturgy. Unusual examples of it are found in The Korean Liturgy 1938, the liturgy of the Diocese of Guiana 1959 and The Melanesian English Prayer Book. Anglicans believe that the only effective Mediator between the believer and God the Father, in terms of redemption and salvation, is God the Son, Jesus Christ. Historical Anglicanism has drawn a distinction between the intercession of the saints and the invocation of the saints. The former was generally accepted in Anglican doctrine, while the latter was generally rejected. There are some, however, in Anglicanism, who do beseech the saints' intercession. Those who beseech the saints to intercede on their behalf make a distinction between "mediator" and "intercessor," and claim that asking for the prayers of the saints is no different in kind than asking for the prayers of living Christians. Anglican Catholics understand sainthood in a more Catholic or Orthodox way, often praying for intercessions from the saints and celebrating their feast days. According to the Church of England, a saint is one who is sanctified, as it translates in the Authorised King James Version (1611) 2 Chronicles 6:41 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

    Protestantism

    In many Protestant churches, the word "saint" is used more generally to refer to anyone who is a Christian. This is similar in usage to Paul's numerous references in the New Testament of the Bible.[26] In this sense, anyone who is within the Body of Christ (i.e., a professing Christian) is a 'saint' because of their relationship with Christ Jesus. Because of this, many Protestants consider prayers to the saints to be idolatry[clarification needed] or even necromancy. Dead Christians are awaiting resurrection, and are not able to do anything for the living saint. Within some Protestant traditions, "saint" is also used to refer to any born-again Christian. Many emphasise the traditional New Testament meaning of the word, preferring to write "saint" to refer to any believer, in continuity with the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers.

    Lutheranism

    In the Lutheran Church, all Christians on earth are considered saints. Lutherans also regard Christians in heaven as saints and are even willing to honor those that the Roman Catholic Church regards as saints, but in a qualified way. According to the Augsburg Confession,[27] the term "saint" is used in the manner of the Roman Catholic Church only insofar as to denote a person who received exceptional grace, was sustained by faith and whose good works are to be an example to any Christian. Traditional Lutheran belief accounts that prayers to the saints are prohibited, as they are not mediators of redemption.[28][29] But, Lutherans do believe that saints pray for the Christian Church in general.[30] Philip Melancthon, the author of the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, approved honoring the saints by saying they are honored in three ways: 1. By thanking God for examples of His mercy; 2. By using the saints as examples for strengthening our faith; 3. By imitating their faith and other virtues.[31][32][33] The Lutheran Churches also have liturgical calendars in which they honor individuals as saints.

    Methodism

    While Methodists as a whole do not practice the patronage or veneration of saints, they do honor and admire them. Methodists believe that all Christians are saints, but mainly use the term to refer to bibilical people, Christian leaders, and martyrs of the faith. Many Methodist churches are named after saints, such as the Twelve Apostles, John Wesley, etc. Although, most are named after geographical locations associated with an early circuit or prominent location. Some Methodist congregations observe All Saints Day if they follow the liturgical calendar. Many encourage the study of saints, that is, the biography of holy people. The 14th Article of Religion in the United Methodist Discipline states, "The Romish doctrine concerning purgatory, pardon, worshiping, and adoration, as well of images as of relics, and also invocation of saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warrant of Scripture, but repugnant to the Word of God." John Wesley, the theological father of world Methodism, did not practice or permit Roman Catholic practices associated with the veneration of the Virgin Mary or prayers to saints.

    Other Christian groups

    There are some groups which are generally classified as Protestants who do not accept the idea of the Communion of Saints. Some believe all of the departed are in soul sleep until the final resurrection on Judgment Day. Others believe that the departed go to either Paradise or Tartarus, to await the day in which the living and the dead are judged. Certain protestant groups, such as the Baptists, do not believe that the departed have any connection with the living.

    Oriental Orthodox Churches

    The Syriac Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Ethiopian Orthodox, Eritrean Orthodox, Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and Armenian Apostolic churches do accept the existence of saints, but officially recognize them via their own individual processes. For example, the Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria canonizes saints, through the approval of that church's Holy Synod. A requirement of the Coptic Orthodox faith is that at least 50 years must pass from a saint's death to his canonization, and the Coptic Orthodox Pope must follow that rule.

    Latter-day Saints

    The beliefs of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Mormons with regard to saints are similar to the Protestant tradition described above. In the New Testament the saints are all those who have entered into the Christian covenant of baptism. The qualification "latter-day" refers to the doctrine that members are living in the "latter days", before the second coming of Jesus Christ, and is used to distinguish the members of the Mormon church, which considers itself the restoration of the ancient Christian church. Therefore members are often referred to as "Latter-day Saints" or "LDS", and among themselves as "Saints".

    Judaism

    Judaism speaks of a class of unidentified individuals known as Tzadikkim.


    The Thirty Six are Hidden Wikipedia Tzadikim Nistarim

    A tzaddik whose righteousness remains unknown to his community. It is said that in every generation there are 36 tzaddikim nistarim in addition to 36 revealed tzaddikim. Together they combine to form the 72 bridges, which correspondes to the 72 letter Name of G-d.


    Tzaddik Nistar Concealed Righteous one.

    "There are not less than 36 tzaddikim/righteous persons in the world who receive the Shekhinah/the Divine Presence", Babylonian Talmud: Sanhedrin 97b, Sukkot 45b.


    Lamedvavniks (lamed vov is Hebrew for thirty six)

    Lamedvavnik is the Yiddish term for one of the 36 humble righteous ones or Tzadikim mentioned in kabbalah or Jewish mysticism. These holy people are hidden; i.e., nobody knows who they are. According to some versions of the story, they themselves may not know who they are.

    For the sake of these 36 hidden saints, God preserves the world even if the rest of humanity has degenerated to the level of total barbarism.

    According to Yoma 38b,one righteous man can ensure the existence of the world. No sooner is one righteous man removed from the world than he is succeeded by another righteous man as good as he.

    Sunni Islam

    The Arabic term wali (Arabic ولي, plural Awliyā' أولياء) is commonly translated into English as "Saint". However, the wali should not be confused with the Christian tradition of sainthood. A prominent early scholar of Sunni Islamic beliefs, Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Tahawi, mentioned in his book "Al-Aqidah At-Tahawiya": We do not prefer any of the saintly men among the Ummah over any of the Prophets but rather we say that any one of the Prophets is better than all the awliya' put together. We believe in what we know of Karamat, the marvels of the awliya' and in authentic stories about them from trustworthy sources.[35] Unlike Prophets and Messengers, Saints in Islam can be either male and female. One of the most well known of them is Rabia al-Adawiyya.

    Sufism

    In Sufism, the major wali are considered to have been masters in the art of spiritual purification. Some groups within Islam hold the Hadrat (literally, Presence, a title of Sufi saints) in esteem. Anthropologists have also noted the parallels between the regard for some Sufi figures in popular Muslim observance and Christian ideas of sainthood. In some Muslim countries there are shrines at the tombs of Sufi saints, with the observation of festival days on the anniversary of death, and a tradition of miracle-working. In some cases, the rites are observed according to the solar calendar, rather than the normal Islamic lunar calendar.

    Other

    Hazrat Babajan (c. 1806 - September 18, 1931) was a Baloch Muslim saint considered by her followers to be a sadguru or qutub

    Other religions

    The use of the term "saint" is not exclusive to Christianity. In many religions, there are people who have been recognized within their tradition as having fulfilled the highest aspirations of religious teaching. In English, the term saint is often used to translate this idea from many world religions.

    Hinduism

    There are individuals who have been described as being Hindu saints, most of whom have also been more specifically identified by the terms Mahatma, Paramahamsa, or Swami, or with the titles Sri or Srila.

    Sikhism

    The concept of sant or bhagat is found in North Indian religious thought including Sikhism. Figures such as Kabir, Ravidas, Nanak, and others are widely regarded as belonging to the Sant tradition. Some of their mystical compositions are incorporated in the Guru Granth Sahib. The term "Sant" is still sometimes loosely applied to living individuals in the Sikh and related communities.

    Buddhism

    Buddhists hold the Arhats and Arahants in special esteem, as well as Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.

    Afro-American Religion

    Cuban Santeria, Haitian Vodou, Brazilian Umbanda and Candomble, and other similar syncretist religions adopted the Catholic saints, or at least the images of the saints, and applied their own spirits/deities to them. They are worshiped in churches (where they appear as saints) and in religious festivals, where they appear as the deities. The name santeria was originally a pejorative term for those whose worship of saints deviated from Catholic norms.

    Oswestry Castle
    Oswestry, Shropshire, England

    Map link for Oswestry Castle





    Text & photographs copyright © 1999 by David Timmins




    Above: An unknown artist's impression of Oswestry Castle
    Note: other photos are of various fragmentary remains of the castle
    One walk up the remaining motte of Oswestry’s once large and significant castle, does not really inspire much confidence as to understanding its historical importance. One could be forgiven for letting what little is here, (sadly neglected in recent times) pass you by in a desolate blink. Indeed it has even been argued that the small collection of stones are not actually part of the castle, but in fact the town walls which were pulled down in the late 17th Century. Of course this has been met with some vehement opposition. And yet this is the intriguing fact about Oswestry Castle, despite its decay it still has the power to arouse debate and passion much like it did during its height in the later Middle Ages. Indeed because so much of the castle’s original surroundings have been altered through 19th and 20th Century development, it is now virtually impossible to gauge an accurate idea of what the castle resembled in all its dominant splendour. The only two known pictures of the castle are artists’ impressions from the 18th Century, other than that it is left to the imagination of the visitor. A good hour or so spent circling the vicinity of the summit, it becomes apparent as to what actually does remain, that can give us a few small clues.

    However, let us first mark out the Castle’s known early history. Its origins date to around 1086, when a castle L’oeuvre was recorded in William I’s Domesday Book as being built by Rainald, Sheriff of Shropshire in the Hundred of Meresberie. Before the Norman Conquest the region surrounding the castle is thought to have been a frontier outpost that saw both Welsh and Anglo Saxon mix together. No town however, was recorded until around 1272 when references appear to the settlement of Blancminster, which derives from its white stone church. Interestingly though, the Welsh were already acknowledging a ‘Creos Oswallt’ in 1254, a name that partly invokes a link with St. Oswald, the Northumbrian King who was killed at the Battle of Maeserfelth (a location reputed to be near the town) in 641 AD. Similarly, Domesday lists the tenant of nearby Brogynton as Madoc, possibly the son of Bleyddn ap Cynfyn, the Prince of Powys. Further to this the Hundred of Maersete does record fifty three Welsh tenants. This does leave the origin’s of the town as a settlement, open to debate, it could be the case that Oswestry was once a strong Welsh settlement. What is certain is that role of the Castle was an act of domination to subdue Welsh resistance, whether this resistance was because of a threat to settlements over the border or the colonisation of ‘Creos Oswallt’ by the Normans, cannot be certain.



    After the conquest the region was granted to Roger de Montgomerie by William I. In turn it passed to Rainald who is thought to have built the first castle (unless of course, he was settling on existing Welsh fortifications). After Rainald the castle passed to Alan Fitzlaad, descendant to the mighty Fitzalans, later to become the Lords of Arundel and Clun. The Civil War however, between Stephen and Matilda saw William Fitzalan I join forces with Matilda. Thus he was forced to give up the castle and its area. The Welsh were now given a chance to reclaim what they once may have lost, and this appears evident in the occupation of the castle by Madoc ap Maerdudd the Prince of Powys, between 1149 and 1157, along with the Lordship of the area. This was short lived however, since the accession of Henry II saw the Fitzalan’s recover their estate, but they failed to establish a peaceful reign during this time. Indeed they faced their most troubled times as rulers, mirroring the national situation for the Plantagents. There was significant conflict between the Welsh and the English, which saw the area and its castle sacked numerous times. This highlights the importance of the castle at this period as a military outpost, since in 1165, Henry himself adopted it as a base for his albeit disastrous campaign against Owain Gwynned. Similarly the year 1211 saw King John move against Llwelyn Fawr and North Wales and once more the castle came under attack. It is no surprise then that by 1270 the castle’s walls had been extended to embrace the town. Arguably it is this which further provoked Welsh resistance to English rule. In the 14th Century Owain Glyndwr emulated earlier patterns of hostility against symbols of English dominance as he attempted to establish himself as the rightful Prince of Wales. Ironically it was during such conflicts that the settlement began to to be seen as a potential trading establishment. It had its first Siarter Gwtta or Short Charter granted by William III at the end of the 12th Century. This awarded the area similar customs and liberties as the larger and already prosperous Shrewsbury. A second charter in 1263 saw this confirmed and culminated in 1399 with the granting of a Royal Charter. It has been suggested that this new found commercial status began to transform its status from an outpost to a neutral gateway. This idea can be reinforced with the offer in 1276, from Llywelyn ap Gruffyd to meet Edward I at the castle, rather than pay homage to him in London. Yet it remains that because Oswestry still required a fully fortified military base, it was some considerable time before it was able to shake off its original function.


    The Castle: Features
    From the ground and looking up towards the summit, it is clear to see that its construction was of the classic Norman design; a polygonal Shell Keep on top of a motte (possibly utilised from a glacial deposit) with an outer bailey. Its walling has been measured as approximately 2.44m thick. However one walk around the base and the summit, it is clear that all of its features have disappeared, which for the untrained eye, could quite easily lead one to believe there was never a castle here at all! The ditch that would have surrounded the motte has long since been filled, as has the southern bailey. Furthermore, a barbican reputed to have stood on a second mound in the now Castle Street, was sadly taken down around 1850.

    Documentary evidence underlines the importance of the castle in the 12th century, as between 1160 and 1175 over £2,000 was lavished on alterations, such as pallisides and a well. Two towers are thought to have stood at the North East and North West regions of the castle. Although no real record exists to support this, other than an 18th Century painting which clearly shows one such turret. If one walks around the middle section of the motte and looks up to the summit where the tower are thought to have stood, it is possible to get a general impression of their locations. The evidence that does exist gives us an indication of its once resplendent features. A survey carried out in 1395 talks of the great, middle and high chambers, the Constables Hall, the buttery, the chapel, kitchen and larder. It is sad that none of these are visible today and as far as this author is aware, no archaeological study has been carried out to actually point out such positioning. It is largely left to the discerning visitor to establish their own opinions.


    Decline of the Castle
    The decline of the castle began around the late 15th century as it was noted of being in a state of disrepair. We can look to the results of the Glyndwr rising and then the town’s solid status as a market town as contributory factors, which meant less need for fortification. Although in 1530 the historian John Leyland noted that despite its state, the castle still had visible its famous Madoc’s Tower. The year 1662 saw a thorough survey of the castle being carried out for Thomas Howard, The Earl of Suffolk by John Norden. His findings attributed the castle’s worsening state to one thing; that although £20 a year was granted to maintain defences, the town’s Burgesses’ preferred to use the castle walls as a source of stone facing for buildings elsewhere in the town. Further to this, its main tower had now been dismantled of timber, iron and lead, as were the castle gates.



    The outbreak of the Civil War in 1642 revived its fledgling status as a military stronghold, albeit temporarily. It was once more strengthened to some degree, following the town’s declaration of support for Charles I, and prepared for hostility. In June 1644 the castle was under the control of Colonel Edward Lloyd of Llanforda, but it was subsequently laid to siege by Thomas Mytton of Halston Hall (near Whittington) who was soon joined by the earl of Denbigh. Any romantic notions of a long and bitter siege can easily be dispelled. The town was surrounded by cannon and its principal gates battered into submission. This was quickly followed by an infiltration of troops who rapidly descended upon the castle, surrounding it and after one or two minor skirmishes the walls were mined just before nightfall. The following day ‘Buttars,’ a kind of early grenade, were used to storm the gates. Subsequently, the royalist troops surrendered and the castle fell. However, attempts to recapture it by the royalists do point to the castle’s military significance even at this late stage.

    It was following the Civil War that strongholds such as Oswestry Castle were rendered uninhabitable, part of a campaign to quash notions of resistance. And in the case of Oswestry no sentiment was spared, it being totally eradicated of any visible evidence aside from a simple collection of stones. A poignant reminder of the tempestuous past that once enveloped it.

    The castle was handed to the control of the local council this century and the motte and surrounding grounds were turned into a public park. The fragments of walling that are visible today are all the remains. Sadly though no real effort has been made to promote the importance of the area, as a monument within the town, thus a culture of ignorance has developed whereby the grounds are totally misused, and unfortunately potential tourists are driven away.

    The following so-called Family Perspective is a brief chronology of the ancestors and descendants of Jesus Christ. Much of the information has been taken from Laurence Gardner's exceptional work, The Magdalene Legacy [1] -- as well of some of his other works, such as Bloodline of the Holy Grail and Genesis of the Grail Kings. It is "how to tell it all in a nutshell." Mr. Gardner, however, is not responsible for any alleged attempts at humor. (He is, after all, English.)

    8888888888888888888888888888888888

    Much ado about something has often been made among Kingly folk as to whom and to what degree various pretenders to any given throne have descended from the Biblical King David (King of Judah as of 1008 BC and King of Israel as of 1001 BC [1]). This lineage is of particular note with respect to Jesus Christ, whose many biographers have stated over and over again that Jesus was of the House of David. Supposedly, this is a big deal and one which gives Jesus and his descendants some sort of justification for any royal pretensions that they may have had.

    [Parenthetically, it should be pointed out that history, tradition, custom and claims of who-got-their-first have always been used to justify all manner of arrogance, heavy-handedness, and expectations of being allowed to have, own, live, be honored, paid, and/or reap the rewards to which one would like to become accustomed (and of which one's ancestors supposedly had in fact already become accustomed). Consequently, such claims of grandiosity probably should be taken with a degree of suspicion. Nevertheless, it is useful (and sometimes amusing) to understand the outrageous nature of certain claims to royal and/or blue blood status. It makes for an entertaining history, among other things. Meanwhile, the modern reality is that everyone pretty much puts their pants on the same way. one leg at a time - at least those that wear pants.]

    As a starting point for Jesus and his clan, it should be pointed out that the House of David comes down to us courtesy of the House of Abraham, and in turn Abraham (fka Abram) can claim in his own way to be a direct descendant of Adam. Of course, everyone. theoretically. is descended from Adam. But that's another story. one which will likely be defrocked elsewhere.

    Meanwhile, this House of David claim might logically be thought to also apply to Jesus' parents - or at the very least one of them. It's sort of hard to claim a descended royal status unless one is born with at least one royal parent. As it turns out, both Mary and Joseph were of the House of David. They were admittedly of different lines, but this is just one of the joys of Biblical begetting: That is to say that combining distinct royal lines implies that one can be doubly descended from royalty. In effect, there are degrees of royalty and the greater the royal heritage --the greater the genetic material in the old blue blood -- the better.

    It should also be pointed out that Jesus' wife, Mary Magdalene. [Oops! So much for the clever plot twist at the end.] Anyway, Mary Magdalene also stems from the House of David. In fact she and Jesus' mother Mary have a common ancestor only a few generations ahead of them. Furthermore, the lineages of Jesus, his parents and wife are all interrelated at various levels. Jesus just happens to be the offspring of one of those marriages between different royal lines in which royal folk place so much stock. (Pardon the pun.)

    Intermarriage among relations, cousins, and the like are, of course, very common with the descendants of David - and in fact most all royal lines. [It is also practiced to an amazing degree in Applachia West Virginia.] In some of the biblical royal cases marriages were between brothers and half-sisters (e.g. Abraham and Sarah, as well as Jechoniah and Dalilah - the latter two being the son and daughter of Jehoikim, c. 600 BC, but by different mothers). There is even the fun detail of Jesus' brother, James the Just, marrying his mother's niece, Anna.

    The best part of all of this is that the House of David family tree - and many of the other royal lines - has a tendency to look like a rampant, incestuous vine earnestly attempting to cover a brick wall and in the process hide every hint of mortar and brick. For example.

    If attempt to put all of this into perspective - and simultaneously set new records in terms of dropping names - we might first note that King David had two children by his wife, Maacah, daughter of King Talmai of Geshur. Their names were Tamar and Absalom. [BTW, highlighted names are the ones you will want to remember as you try to make sense of this wild and fully flowering vine-like family tree.] David also had two children by Bathsheba, widow of Uriah the Hittite. They were named Solomon (you've probably heard of him) and Nathan. Solomon married Naamah and had a son named Rehoboam, who then married Tamar's daughter, Micaiah. Because of this, Micaiah was descended from David via two different lines (i.e. two of David's children). In effect, Micaiah was doubly descended from David. This is an example of the big deal we mentioned earlier.

    Meanwhile, Micaiah initiated a line of Kings of Judah beginning with Abijah and continuing through Asa, Jehoshaphat [the latter of "Jumping" fame], Jehoram, Ahaziah, Joash, Amaziah, Uzziah, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, and Josiah. [For a pictorial scroll presentation of this saga of begetting, see Laurence Gardner's http://www.Graal.co.uk website.]

    Josiah continued the begetting tradition of the family by spawning two lines, one by his second wife, Hamutal (daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah). This one resulted in their granddaughter, Tamar Tephi marrying Eire-Ambion of Scythia and initiating the line of the Kings of Ireland. No kidding! The family tree was really branching out! <grin>

    Meanwhile, by his first wife, Zebudah, Josiah produced Jehoikim; the latter who through a new degree of efficiency had his son, Jechoniah (by his first wife, Nehustra) marry his daughter, Dailiah (by his second wife, Phudia), and together they produced, among others, a son, Sheatiel, who then married Hadast.

    This latter marriage is of significance (again) in that Hadast was descended from the line of Nathan (David's son by Maacah). Thus after 17 generations, two major Davidian lines were consolidated in two children, Zorobabel and Meshar. Yea!

    Meshar eventually married Cyrus II of Persia and helped spawn the Kings of Persia. [I told you they were branching out!] Meanwhile Zorobabel married Maukab, daughter of Ezra the Scribe, and spawned two children who were destined to tie the family tree into absolute knots. Zorobabel's daughter, Rhesa, for example, married Zakhyath, the son of Jehozadak the Zadok (of Babylonian captivity fame). This was the initiation of the line of the High Priests of Judah. Rhesa also had a grandson named Mattahias I.

    Meanwhile back at the Zorobabel ranch, Zorobabel's son, Abiud, married Tsamita from the Rhesa initiated High Priest line, and they produced Eliakim. Eliakim married Haziba, the daughter of Mattahias I (naturally), and they produced Azor. Azor also married into the High Priest line in order to beget Sadoc. Meanwhile, Mattahias I's other offspring, Maath, began a line which extended through Nagge, Esli, Naum, and Amos, to arrive at Mattahias II. Mattahias II promptly married into the High Priest line, and had descendants named (in order): Joseph, Janna, Melchi, Matanan, and Heli.

    Now we're getting somewhere! Heli was Jesus' grandfather on his father's side - which is the reason that Jesus' father is often called Joseph ab Heli. Incidentally, the latter was a Master of the Craft - and not a carpenter! Let's get real; royal folks don't spend a lot of time in the carpentry shop.

    Meanwhile, the Sadoc line, apparently in order to keep up with the Mattahias II line, produced, in order, Achim, Eliud, and Eleazor. The latter's children included Matthat, the grandfather of Jesus' mother, Mary, on her father's side. Eleazor's other child, Gadot, married Heli (naturally), and thus became Joseph ab Heli's mother. Obviously, Eleazer was Joseph's grandfather and Mary's great grandfather. Eleazer was then Jesus' great grandfather and great, great grandfather, simultaneously. Meanwhile, Jesus' father, Joseph, was the combining of two important lines, one from Mattahias I, and the other from Abiud, son of Zorobabel.

    On the other side of the street, Jesus' mother, Mary, could trace her matrilineal ancestry back through her mother, Hannah (Anna), to Joiadah (a priest), Hezekiah, John Hyrcanus I, Simon Maccabaeus, Mattathias of Modin and ultimately the Hasmonaean House of the Maccabees. The Hasmonaeans were in turn descended ultimately from Aaron, Moses' right hand man. [We're talking major lineage here!] Mary's father, meanwhile, was Joachim (son of Matthat), another significant line going back to Zorobabel. Obviously then, Mary - like Joseph ab Heli - was also the culmination of two major royal lines. Their marriage was thus highly significant, and their offspring were to be endowed with Great Expectations to say the very least.

    We might also point out that Hezekiah was doubly important in that he was not only Mary's great grandfather (on her mother's side), but also the great grandfather of John the Baptist. Hezekiah was also the great grandfather of Simon Magus (Lazarus/Zebedee), as well as his wife Salome ( Helena ) - albeit via different lines. Finally, Hezekiah was the great, great grandfather of both Jesus and Mary Magdalene! In other words, Jesus and Mary Magdalene were cousins. of a sort. They were not exactly distant cousins, but were in fact still running from the same seed as Hezekiah, albeit four generations later. Inasmuch as they eventually married, one might even call them kissing cousins. [Sort of blows one's mind to think about Jesus kissing, doesn't it!]

    For the record, Simon and Salome's daughter, Anna, ended up marrying Jesus' younger brother, James the Just - who became known by the title, Joseph of Arimethea. We will return to the descendent portion of Jesus and Mary Magdalene's family following a brief diversion into some bits of chronology and related facts.

    In the interim, it is perhaps worth mentioning that there was often a generational gap between the husband and his wife in these royal marriages. Joseph, for example, can be assumed to be very close to 36 years old at the time of marrying Mary, who was 19 at the time. In fact, all males of the royal line were expected to avoid marriage until their 36th birthday, while the females were encouraged to begin the procreation portion of their existence while they were in their childbearing prime. This trend is very likely the reason for the English custom of men being in their forties before marrying women in their twenties (or younger). What amounts to almost an exception to this rule is that while Jesus was the prescribed 36 years of age when he began the marriage process with Mary Magdalene, she was 27. However, the combining of these two major royal lines seemed important enough to accept Mary's slightly advanced age. And inasmuch as they managed three children between them. well, you get the idea.

    [It is also worth noting that the marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana in modern times followed the same sort of royal marriage guidelines, with Charlie being notably older than Di. Also, Diana, as a Spencer, can be thought of as having more royal blood than Charles, and thus their offspring would be the combining of two major royal lines - making their marriage extremely important. Instead of the Germanic source of the Windsors , there was finally some English blood in the mix. Meanwhile, keep in mind that the eldest of Charles and Diana's sons includes in his list of names, the name of Arthur. Now. where do you suppose the Lady of the Lake and Excalibur are?]

    Chronology [1]

    43 BC - Jesus' father, Joseph, born (this date based on a calculation which assumes that Joseph was age 36 at time of his marriage to Mary - all of this in accordance with a royal tradition)

    26 BC - Jesus' mother, Mary, is born.

    7 BC - (Sunday, March 1st ) Jesus Christ born [as per Julian calendar] [1 - page 126] (September 15th ) - The official dynastic birth of Jesus [ It's very complicated! ]

    BTW, "Mary's virgin status was a spurious notion invented by the early Church, but not found in the primary Gospel texts of the Codex Vaticanus in the Vatican Archive." (32) Keep in mind also that "A charge of heresy was a denial of choice." (116) There's not much more to it. At the same time, denial is one way to avoid truth. For example, Clement of Alexandria (AD c150-215), one of the Catholic Church's fathers, has said:

    "For even if they [the Carpocrations] should say something true, one who loves the Truth should not, even so, agree with them. For not all true things are the Truth; nor should that truth which seems true according to human opinions be preferred to the true Truth - that according to the faith. To them one must never give way; nor, when they put forward their falsifications, should concede that the secret Gospel is by Mark, but should deny it on oath. For not all true things are to be said to all men." [emphasis added]

    AD 1 - Birth of Jesus' eldest younger brother, James (Joseph of Arimathea) (194)

    Note: Mary and Joseph ab Heli were to produce 8 children -- 5 boys and three girls.

    "Matthew 13:55 clarifies that Jesus had brothers, and names them as James, Joses, Simon and Judas." "Matthew 13:56 and Mark 6:3 both state that he also had sisters." (31) They are named elsewhere as being Mary, Salome, and Joanna.

    AD 3 - Mary Magdalene is born (338)

    AD 29 - probable death of Joseph (prior to Jesus beginning his ministry)

    AD 29 - Jesus begins his public ministry (in the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar) (168)

    AD 30 (June) - The so-called wedding feast at Cana (which was actually the dynastic Betrothal, and 3 months before the First Marriage in September) (153) [Jesus, His parents, wife, etceteras, were Essenes, living in Qumran (north of the Dead Sea and east of Jerusalem ). The Essenes prescribed for the royal lines a First Marriage, and then after the wife was three months pregnant, a Second Marriage. The suggestion is that they wanted to be sure the wife was not barren before committing the royal male to possibly ending up without an heir. This is likely something that King Arthur and Guinevere might have tried to remember.]

    AD 30 (September) - Mary Magdalene anoints Jesus at Simon's house (Luke 7:37 -38). This act was part of the First Marriage ceremony. Meanwhile, consummation of the marriage would have to wait until December, as per custom and tradition. This may be why Mary wept for her husband as they parted for the mandatory October-November, let's-think-this-over period (154). The reason for the end of the year consummation was so that any heir would be born in September. [The astute reader may recall that Jesus was not born in September, but in March. But for dynastic purposes, his "official" birth date was September. Don't worry about it; it's a royal thing.]

    AD 30 (December) - First physical union between Jesus and Mary (154)

    AD 31 - John the Baptist put to death, ending the Zadok dynasty - This left the Messianic field free and clear for Jesus and his heirs (168). This is because there was by custom, two messiahs, one of the priestly class, one of the king/warrior style (167).

    AD 32 - Simon Zelotes leads a Zealot revolt against Pontius Pilate - setting Simon up for being the third member of the crucifixion party in March, AD 33 (172)

    AD 32 (December) - Mary conceives (on third try) (157) [The getting-pregnant attempts were only happening in December, as per royal tradition.]

    AD 33 (March) - Mary - now 3 months pregnant - anoints Jesus a second time. (157)

    This is the Second Marriage - the one which for dynastic purposes counts. It is also the Time of the Crucifixion! (Jesus is at this point 39 years old.) (161) [Hey! They weren't just kidding when they said, "Life begins at forty."]

    [The Crucifixion is a story into itself - obviously! Inasmuch as the actual event only vaguely resembles the traditional fiction of the so-called Passion is probably relevant, and thus we might mention in passing (pardon the pun) a few noteworthy points. For example, the historical reality of this event appears to have involved Jesus, Simon Zelotes, and Thaddaeus (the latter whom was one of the three involved in the revolt against Pontius Pilate - the other being Judas Iscariot). Simon (known among his friends as Simon the clever) may have switched places with Simon the Cyrene, but in all three cases, all evidence points to all three coming down from the cross prior to actually dying, and instead being taken to their tombs for burial alive. Simon Zelotes then administered to Jesus, using a loophole in the Sabbath law concerning no work whatsoever. For more information, see Crucifiction and/or Laurence Gardner's "Trial and Crucifixion" - Appendix II to his book, The Magdalene Legacy [1]. Gardner also explains in detail the meaning of the so-called Ascension of Jesus and the associated cloud as mentioned in the Gospels. See below.]

    AD 33 (September) - Mary gives birth to a daughter, Tamar the Sarah [Sarah meaning princess], 6 months after the resurrection (Jesus' 39 th September). (163) Jesus is, according to tradition, required to enter a fully celibate state for three years until the Times of Restitution (163) Also at this time, Jesus was admitted to the priesthood (the priestly Order of Melchizedek) - a ritual in which he figuratively "ascended into heaven' (164) (See Acts 1:9.) "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight." (165) [A cloud is a symbolic representation within the Qumran fraternity.] Note also Hebrew 6:20 . Finally note Mark 4:11-12:

    "Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God : but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That Seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not Understand."

    BTW, Melchizedek and Archangel Michael were one and the same. (166)

    AD 35 - Jesus' brother James (whose title was Joseph of Arimethea) arrives in Marseilles (195). He then crossed to Britain (196). Keep in mind that James had been imprisoned by the Jewish elders after the Crucifixion - but had subsequently escaped or been pardoned. (197)

    AD 36 - Jesus and Mary's 3-year period of monastic separation expired (September), with physical relations permitted in December at the Time of Restitution. "The word of god increased" means Jesus yielded fruit and increased. In other words, Jesus had a son, who was born the following September in.

    AD 37 - Birth of Jesus' son, Jesus (Yeshua). Jesus begins 6 years of monastic celibacy.

    AD 37 -- Probable date for the composition of the Gospel of John (103), even though it was not published until much later. Meanwhile, to further strain your credibility, "The author of John can only have been Mary Magdalene." (184)

    "And the consort of the Saviour is Mary Magdalene. But Christ loved her more than all the disciples, and used to kiss her often on the mouth. The rest of the disciples were offended by it and expressed disapproval. They said unto him, 'Why do you love her more than all of us?' The Saviour answered and said to them, 'Why do I not love you like her? Great is the mystery of marriage, for without it the world would not have existed. Now the existence of the world depends on man, and the existence of man on marriage.' Gospel of Phillip (117)

    "In the Gospel of Phillip , Mary Magdalene is regarded as being emblematic of divine wisdom, but all such texts were excised by the bishops of the evolving Church because they weakened the dominance of the male-only priesthood." (133) Phillip may also have written the Gospel of Mary Magdalene." (196)

    ??AD 36-48 - Death of Jesus' mother, Mary

    AD 43 - Jesus and Mary return to a married state in December, Mary conceives again.

    AD 44 - Jesus embarks on a mission to Galatia , in Central Asia Minor , with the Chief Proselyte, John Mark (the possible writer of the Gospel of Mark). (171) Meanwhile, Simon Zelotes had King Herod-Agrippa poisoned and then was obliged to free. This left Mary in a very precarious position, and she was forced to appeal to Herod-Agrippa II, who arranged for her passage to Gaul. (172)

    In essence, Mary Magdalene fled into exile. With her "were Jesus' sisters, Sarah-Salome and Mary Jacob Cleophas, along with Helena-Salome, consort of Simon-Lazarus. Helena-Salome was a priestess of the Order of Ephesus , and was entitled to wear the red robe of the hierodulai. Sarah-Salome, a black-garbed Nazarite priestess, became the revered patron saint of the gypsies." She was identified with the love goddess, Aphrodite. Mary Jacob, a Nazarene priestess had an extraordinary following in "Merrie England " (and from which derived Maid Marion). (174-175) We might note that the *Desposyni were "only those persons in the bloodline with Jesus through his mother." (20) "In relating the persecution of the Desposyni . a woman who bore the crown of Sophia had fled into the wilderness to escape the Imperial Dragon that 'went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.'" (23) Revelation 12

    AD 44 (September?) - Mary gives birth to her second son, Josephes. (See Acts 12:24)

    AD 46 - Julian calendar introduced

    AD 46 - Jesus II schooled in Caesarea . At age 12, born again into the community (176)

    AD 53 - "Jesus junior was officially proclaimed Crown Prince at the synagogue in Corinth and duly received the Davidic Crown Prince's title of 'Justus' (the Righteous. Greek: Dikaios ). He thereby formally succeeded his uncle James the Just as the kingly heir." (177) Tamar apparently married Paul in Athens . (180)

    AD 60 - Queen Boudicca (whose commander was the grandson of James the Just) "led the great, but unsuccessful revolt against Roman domination." (220)

    AD 61 - Jesus Christ (aka Jesus I) "went via Crete to Malta with Luke and Paul. (See

    Acts 27:7-44, 28:1)" "At about the same time. Josephes "finished his education at a druidic college." (177)

    AD 62 - Jesus' brother James joined Josephes and his mother in the West, having been "hounded out of Jerusalem " (He had been sentenced to public stoning and had been declared spiritually 'dead" (i.e., excommunicated" by the Jewish Elders.) This was his second trip to the west.) (177)

    AD 63 - Mary Magdalene dies at Aix-en-Provence (Southern France).

    AD 63-64 - King Arviragus of Siluria, brother of Caractacus the Pendragon, granted 1,440 acres to Joseph of Arimethea at Glastonbury , where a church was built.

    AD 64 - Rome burns, and Peter and Paul are put to death. (177) Jesus Justus dedicates the Glastonbury chapel. (202)

    AD c66 - Promulgation of the original Gospel of Mark - probably in connection with the Jewish revolt in AD 66 (sporadic fighting in Caesarea )

    AD 70 -- Romans finally crushed the four-year Israelite uprising (Emperor Vespasian and General Flavius Titus). Jerusalem left as an empty ruin for the next six decades - Qumran falls as well. Masada falls in AD 74. (178)

    AD 73 - Jesus II Justus bestowed with the Davidic title - suggesting Jesus I's death (179) Revelation 22:16 ?) Justus apparently married at age 36 (Revelation 19:10 -13) (180) to the daughter of Nicodemus (200) -- Justus' younger brother, Josephes (age 29) becomes the NEW Joseph of Arimethea. (200)

    AD 77 - Jesus III born, "to become the Alpha and Omega " (Revelation 21:16) (180) Also known as Galains, the Alpha and Omega prince of the Apocalypse died without issue, and the Messianic heritage reverted to Josephes' junior line. It was inherited by his son Josue, from whom the Fisher Kings of Gaul descended." (201)

    AD 82 - Jesus' brother James (aka Joseph of Arimathea) died - 27 July. (195)

    AD 113 - Jesus III married (at again age 36) (Revelations 22:16 ) (180)

    AD 314 - Emperor Constantine arbitrarily changed the date of Jesus' birth to 12/25 (126)

    4th Century - New Testament collated.

    AD 367 - New Testament begins to take shape (130)

    AD 393 - Council of Hippo (certain works approved for New Testament) (130)

    AD 397 - Final 12 verses of Mark 16 added (beyond Mark 16:Cool (106) Council of Carthage (more works approved).

    5th Century: Prince Nascien of the Septimanian Midi was a direct descendant and senior successor of the Fisher Kings of Gaul, and (214) a Desposynic ancestor of the Merovingian Kings of the Franks, from whose line sprang Vivian d'Avallon del Acqs (the Lady of the Lake) and her son Lancelot, the father of Galahad." Josephes' son, Josue, had placed a supernatural shield with Nascien, whose descendant would do many marvelous deeds. (206)

    "In the 3 rd Century, King Aminadab (grandson of Mary Magdalene's son Josephes) had married Eurgen, the great-great-granddaughter of Bran the Blessed and Anna. This historically significant marriage had cemented the fraternal lines of Jesus and James (his brother), so that Meroveus, Nascien and the eventual Merovingian Kings were dually Desposynic. By the time of their 6th-century reign in France, the Magdalene legacy was individually realized by the way of a separate matrilineal dynasty in Burgundy . This was the House del Acqs of the Viviane Queen of Avalon." (215)

    ["Kings of the original Grail dynasties in Britain and France always operated on this basis. They were common fathers to the people, never rulers of the lands. Territorial kingship was a feudal and Imperial concept that completely undermined the code, and was enforced in Europe after the fraudulent AD 751 Donation of Constantine ." (219)]

    AD 574 - King Aedan of Dalriada installed by St Columba. His youngest son and heir was Arthur (born in 559). (225)

    AD 575 - Arthur became Sovereign Guletic. By the union of Aedan of Dalriada and Ygerna del Acqs (daughter of Queen Viviane I, Lady of the Lake and descendant of Jesus and Mary Magdalene), "the line of Jesus and Mary Magdalene was linked to the line of James/Joseph of Arimethea. Arthur was the first product by such a Desposynic marital union in 350 years, which is why he became so important to the Grail tradition." (226) Morgaine was the daughter of Ygerna as well, but by her former husband - making Morgaine (Morganna or Morgan le Fay) Arthur's half sister. (229) [Note that the implication of Arthur and Morgaine having a child - i.e. a brother and his half-sister - is fully in keeping with the traditions of the House of David, including Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and also in keeping with the Anunnaki practice - i.e. the "gods". All of the subsequent negativity of such a union was purely at the instigation of the Catholic Church.]

    AD 603 - Arthur, Prince and Sovereign Guletic of the Britons, fell (at the age of forty-four) alongside Maeluma mac Baedan. Also killed at Dawston was Arthur's son Modred, archpriest of the Sacred Kindred of St. Columba, described in the annals as Modred son of the King of Scots." "The Sacred Kindred of St Columba held Arthur responsible. He had failed in his duties as Guletic and High King." (228)

    AD 844 - Aedan's famed descendant, King Kenneth MacAlpin united the Picts and Scots as one nation. MacAlpin was a descendant of the Queens of Avallon . The Avallonian dynasty - a direct heritable estate of Mary Magdalene - was perpetuated in the female line, with the queen's daughters holding the senior positions, rather than their sons. (229)

    15th Century - King Rene d'Anjou: "Who drinks well, God shall see. Who drains at a single draught, Shall see God and the Magdalene."

    "The inference of Rene's inscription is that disconnected aspects of learning are sufficient to present an image of Jesus as determined by conventional doctrine. But when the scriptural records are embraced as a whole, Mary Magdalene moves equally into the picture." (305)

    "Oh, what a tangled web we weave..." when first we practice to conceive. (And you can quote me!)

    The search for The Magdalene Legacy is stream-lined
    into the matrilineal dynasty in Burgundy .

    known as: The Burgundian House of del Acqs (which means Lake)

    through Queen Viviane aka The High Queen of Avalon in Camelot

    she was one of The Keepers of The Old Relgion aka The Old Tribal Ways

    which are much more than just 'celtic' or 'druid' ways

    ~ but, what is termed The Old Ways - or, The Old Religion


    for many generations, many things have remained hidden,





    this has been largely to due with the fears of religious persecution,


    from the Roman Empire, The Catholics, and, even from The Protestant Reformers,
    however, there have always been, those people
    who have kept The Old Ancestral Customs, Fires, New Moon & Full Moon Traditions alive and well.
    The word Avalon or Ynys Afallon (Cymraeg-Welsh afal) which means "apple"
    in Historia Regum Britanniae ~ The History of The Kings of Britian,
    it is a legendary island which was first mentioned by Geoffrey of Monmouth,
    which is a pseudo-historical account which was published back in 1136 CE (Common Era).
    Geoffrey referred to it as "Insula Avallonis " (Latin) and in The Vita Merlini, Insula Pomorum.
    there are traditional associations between the mystical islands of the other-world and the dead
    along with the apple
    which can be found throughout the history of earth.
    .
    The Old Irish legends of The Home of Manannan MacLir and Lugh Samildanach, along with Emain Ablach (The Isle of Man)
    is derived from The Gaelic word of aball, which means apple,
    which is also similar to The Welsh word of Afallach.
    which "was used to replace the name Avalon in medieval Welsh translations of French and Latin Arthurian tales"
    as per: (Avalon, 2013, Wikipedia.org).

    Avalon & Camelot are both words that bring forth very powerful connections.

    Some lineages can be traced back to Magog or, even Zeus

    her husband was:
