LENNOX AND KINCAID LINEAGE FROM THE EARLIEST MARCIAN KINGS

By Ron Lepeska The Lennox district of old Levanax today consists of . In early times was ruled by Celtic princes known as . From these roots, the powerful Earldom of Lennox arose, which became part of the Royal House of Stewart. By marriage the of Lennox and Kincaid trace their lineage lineage from the early Marcian Kings. The great Marcian Kings trace their king line all the way back to the god Woden from which we get the 4th day of the week "Woden's day". It has been thought by some that the exploits of Woden were embellishment on a flesh and blood ruler who lived around 175 to 200 A.D. But no living person would utter such an idea.
