I am also so grateful for my classmates, who always gave me honest and constructive feedback; I have enjoyed seeing where your projects take you. Most of all, I would like to thank my family and friends for listening to me talk nonstop about a random, crazy, dysfunctional family from the sixth century.

    Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger's

    Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s Volume I: Continental Ancestors Before Hastings David Anderson March 2016 Charlemagne’s Europe – 800 AD For additional information, please contact David Anderson at: [email protected] 508 409 8597 Stained glass window depicting Charles Martel at Strasbourg Cathedral. Pepin shown standing Pepin le Bref Baldwin II, Margrave of Flanders 2 Continental Ancestors Before Hastings Saints, nuns, bishops, brewers, dukes and even kings among them David Anderson March 12, 2016 Abstract Early on, our motivation for studying the ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s was to determine if, according to rumor, they are descendants of any of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell. We relied mostly on two resources on the Internet: Ancestry.com and Scotlandspeople.gov.uk. We have been subscribers of both. Finding the ancestral lines connecting the Chicago Rodger’s to one or more of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell was the most time consuming and difficult undertaking in generating the results shown in a later book of this series of three books. It shouldn’t be very surprising that once we found Earls in Scotland we would also find Kings and Queens, which we did. The ancestral line that connects to the Earls of Bothwell goes through Helen Heath (1831-1902) who was the mother and/or grandmother of the Chicago Rodger’s She was the paternal grandmother of my grandfather, Alfred Heath Rodger. Within this Heath ancestral tree we found four lines of ancestry without any evident errors or ambiguities. Three of those four lines reach just one Earl of Bothwell, the 1st, and the fourth line reaches the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
  • Frank Royal Ancestry

    Frank Royal Ancestry

    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY FRANK ROYAL ANCESTRY Introduction by Lars Granholm The Frank empire lasted about 500 years, (300-800 AD) as listed below. It covered approximately the present France and Germany, but during several wars the area changed constantly. Also different areas were split up among sons and other relatives and favorites. After Charlemagne France and Germany were established as separate countries. This presentation begins where the myth turns into history and ends with Charlemagne .

    The Merovingian Dynasty with Their King Dagobert II Presents An

    On an article by Tracy R Twyman To read Tracy R Twyman’s full article, please refer to the internet. The Merovingian dynasty with their king Dagobert II presents an important spiritual link between Jesus Christ and the Cathar endeavour to restore genuine Christianity a few centuries later. The history of the Merovingian dynasty spans the history of human kind. Just as the dynasty was at the shaping of World’ events, so World’s events shaped the dynasty’s fate. The first phase of humanity has concluded and the Merovingian story stands as the archetype of societal evolution reflected through a significant blood line. The Cathar Testament explains the principles in theory, whilst focusing on the Soul. Using an article by Tracy R. Twyman, I have pinpointed some of the pivotal stages against the Merovingian story traced through legends from the times of Atlantis. My comments do not represent the views of Tracy R Twyman. The adaptation is a working tool for students of the Cathar Testament. My comments are in brackets. To read Tracy R Twyman’s full article, please refer to the internet. Corascendea 17.03.2013. The Myth: The Frankish King Dagobert II, and the Merovingian dynasty from which he came, have been romantically mythologized in the annals of both legend and mystical pseudo-history. The mystique that surrounds them includes attributions of divine origin from Atlantis. They were described as the descendants of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ, while legends talk of their powers, even of the magical powers of their regalia. The Merovingian race originated with a civilization far more ancient than recorded history, from which came all of the major arts and sciences.
  • Carolingian Propaganda: Kingship by the Hand of God

    Carolingian Propaganda: Kingship by the Hand of God

    Isak M. C. Sexson Hist. 495 Senior Thesis Thesis Advisor: Martha Rampton April 24, 2000 Carolingian Propaganda: Kingship by the Hand of God Introduction and Thesis Topic: The Carolingians laid the foundation for their successful coup in 751 very carefully, using not only political and religious alliances, but also the written word to ensure a usurpation of Merovingian power. Up until, and even decades after Pippin III’s coup, the Carolingians used a written form of propaganda to solidify their claims to the throne and reinforce their already existent power base. One of the most successful, powerful and prominent features of the Carolingians’ propaganda campaign was their use of God and divine support. By divine support, I mean the Carolingians stressed their rightful place as rulers of Christiandom and were portrayed as both being aided in their actions by God and being virtuous and pious rulers. This strategy of claiming to fulfill Augustine’s vision of a “city of God” politically would eventually force the Carolingians into a tight corner during the troubled times of Louis the Pious. The Word Propaganda and Historiography: The word propaganda is a modern word which did not exist in Carolingian Europe. It carries powerful modern connotations and should not be applied lightly when discussing past documents without keeping its modern usage in mind at all times. As Hummel and Huntress note in their book The Analysis of Propaganda, “‘Propaganda’ is a 1 word of evil connotation . [and] the word has become a synonym for a lie.”1 In order to avoid the ‘evil connotations’ of modern propaganda in this paper I will limit my definition of propaganda to the intentional reproduction, distribution and exaggeration or fabrication of events in order to gain support.

  • Descendants of Paramund

    Descendants of Paramund

    Descendants of Paramund Generation 1 1. PARAMUND was born in 370 AD in Westphalia, Germany. He died in 430 AD in Rhine River Valley, Germany. He married ARGOTTA. She was born in 376 AD in France. She died in 432 AD in Rhine River Valley, Germany. Notes for Paramund: Paramund was born about 370 AM in Westphalia, Germany. He died about 430 AD at Rhine River Valley, Germany. Paramund is the 25th great grandfather of Louis, husband of Eleanor of Aquitaine (1123-1204), the 14th great grandmother of Edward Southworth, the husband of Alice Carpenter, my 7th great grandmother. What is the significance of following this line? First of all, he is a ling through which descendants flow through the Westmoreland family into which our daughter, Tiffany Lenn Sharpe Westmoreland married when she married Steve O. Westmoreland. Tiffany's mother- in-law, Betty Katherine Covington Westmoreland, generously provided for me most of this genealogical information, and my appreciation of her is great for that. There are some interesting people in that line. Here are the interesting people in that line. This descendants’ line from Paramund of Germany contains 59 generations coming down to our contemporary family, down to our Westmoreland grandchildren. This line comes through our son-in-law’s connections. Notable names most people may recognize include Charles “The Hammer” Martel (686-741), Mayor of the Palace, ruling the Franks, and best remembered winning the Battle of Tours in 732, a battle that halted the Islamic expansion in Europe at that time. William the Conqueror is best known for leading the Normans from France across the English Channel to conquer England and to have himself crowned King of England in 1066.

  • The Fabulous Race Aliens and the Merovingian Mythology Gérard De Sède

    The Fabulous Race Aliens and the Merovingian Mythology Gérard De Sède

    Loose translation from French to English of the book 'La race fabuleuse' by Gerard de Sède The Fabulous Race Aliens and the Merovingian mythology Gérard de Sède Edition J’ai lu - 1973 Prologue I would probably never have written these pages without the help of marquis de B., who passed away two years ago. Their unusual turn is due to him, in any case. B. wanted to remain anonymous. Despite this, it is to be foreseen that some insiders will be able to identify him: good for them. As for me, I respect his wishes. Many admired his knowledge which was broad and exact as I have been able to verify a hundred times. Nevertheless, some people just thought of him as a mad historian; it is true that he had a vivid imagination, a great induction power and he drew amazing conclusions from his research. Others thought that a secret society had taught him to only express himself by means of symbols, in such a way that while pretending to treat one subject, he was in fact treating an other one without any connection or analogy to the first one. I was not able to choose between the three opinions. All I knew was that marquis de B. was an unusual man and that he had become my friend. It was he who has provided me with some of the files that you are going to read, so I have to start by telling who he was and how I knew him. Nothing in his appearance distinguished him from other people.
