  • Holy (Land) Terrain Analysis 3
    Holy (Land) Terrain Analysis 3 By Gordon S Fowkes, Grand Historian of the Grand Priory of St Joan of Arc of Mexico Wednesday, June 08, 2011 St Joan of Arc Disclaimer: The opinions herein are those of the author and not endorsed by the Grand Priory of of Mexico . Global Medieval War The scope of the terrain involved in the Crusades and of the Knights Templar stretches across the entire Eurasian Continent and includes North Africa. At the time the Mongols were raiding the Russian steppes and the Holy Land, they were also raiding from Vietnam to Japan and Korea. It was a world war no less than those of the Twentieth Century. Of the peoples that clashed from the corners of the Eurasian Continent everyone was touched by the wars, but a few of the larger aggregates call for special attention, These include the Vikings, Arabs, Byzantines, Franks and the Mongol-Turks. Each is a major study by themselves, but we will take the broad brush treatment. The Vikings The expansion and evolution of the Vikings as they raided and invaded is one of the great migrations of history, About the time of King Arthur, approximately, Danes, Angles, and Saxons invaded Celt- Roman Britiannia and established England. The language, Anglo-Saxon, is still the base of the English language, The last Anglo-Saxon King of England was Harold Godwinson. This brought him into conflict with the two main branches of the Vikings whose homeland is presumed to be the southern parts of Sweden and Norway plus parts of Denmark in an polity of shifting alliances.

    Anglo Saxon and Norman England Booklet— 1.1 Anglo-Saxon Society Anglo-Saxon Society 1.1 Social System: Peasant Farmers Majority of Anglo-Saxons were peasant farmers. Peasants did a set amount of work for the local lord as well as work- ing the land to support themselves and their family. If they did not work for the lord the lord could take away their land. ‘Ceorls’ peasants were free to go work for another lord if they wanted to. Slaves 10% of Anglo-Saxons were slaves. Slaves could be bought and sold, and treated more like property than people. The Normans thought that owning slaves was barbaric, but it was a normal part of Anglo-Saxon life. Thegns Thegns were local lords, there were between 4,000 and 5000 Thegns. Thegns was an important man in the local community and lived in a manor house with a separate church. Task Colour in the pie chart to represent the so- cial structure of Anglo-Saxon England. Earls Earls were the most important men after the king. The relation- ship between the king and his earls was based on loyalty. The king trusted the earl more he would give him greater re- wards. However, sometimes the earls challenged the king to get more power. The Power of the English Monarchy The king’s role was to protect his people from attack and give them laws to maintain safety and security at home. In return, the people of England owed him service. Every boy swore an oath when he reached the age of 12 to be faithful to the king.

  • British Royal Ancestry Book 6, Kings of England from King Alfred the Great to Present Time
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY BRITISH ROYAL ANCESTRY, BOOK 6 Kings of England INTRODUCTION The British ancestry is very much a patchwork of various beginnings. Until King Alfred the Great established England various Kings ruled separate parts. In most cases the initial ruler came from the mainland. That time of the history is shrouded in myths, which turn into legends and subsequent into history. Alfred the Great (849-901) was a very learned man and studied all available past history and especially biblical information. He came up with the concept that he was the 72nd generation descendant of Adam and Eve. Moreover he was a 17th generation descendant of Woden (Odin). Proponents of one theory claim that he was the descendant of Noah’s son Sem (Shem) because he claimed to descend from Sceaf, a marooned man who came to Britain on a boat after a flood. (See the Biblical Ancestry and Early Mythology Ancestry books). The book British Mythical Royal Ancestry from King Brutus shows the mythical kings including Shakespeare’s King Lair. The lineages are from a common ancestor, Priam King of Troy. His one daughter Troana leads to us via Sceaf, the descendants from his other daughter Creusa lead to the British linage. No attempt has been made to connect these rulers with the historical ones. Before Alfred the Great formed a unified England several Royal Houses ruled the various parts. Not all of them have any clear lineages to the present times, i.e. our ancestors, but some do. I have collected information which shows these. They include; British Royal Ancestry Book 1, Legendary Kings from Brutus of Troy to including King Leir.

    2 In memory of Jeffrey Martin Whittock (1927–2013), much-loved and respected father and papa. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of people provided valuable advice which assisted in the preparation of this book; without them, of course, carrying any responsibility for the interpretations offered by the book. We are particularly indebted to our agent Robert Dudley who, as always, offered guidance and support, as did Simon Hamlet and Mark Beynon at The History Press. In addition, Bradford-on-Avon library, and the Wiltshire and the Somerset Library services, provided access to resources through the inter-library loans service. For their help and for this service we are very grateful. Through Hannah’s undergraduate BA studies and then MPhil studies in the department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic (ASNC) at Cambridge University (2008–12), the invaluable input of many brilliant academics has shaped our understanding of this exciting and complex period of history, and its challenging sources of evidence. The resulting familiarity with Old English, Old Norse and Insular Latin has greatly assisted in critical reflection on the written sources. As always, the support and interest provided by close family and friends cannot be measured but is much appreciated. And they have been patient as meal-time conversations have given way to discussions of the achievements of Alfred and Athelstan, the impact of Eric Bloodaxe and the agendas of the compilers of the 4 Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 5 CONTENTS Title Dedication Acknowledgements Introduction 1 The Gathering
