I’ll try to keep this semi-chronological...
Bede begins relating the earliest histories of Roman Britain, when the Romans were still heathen and the Roman emperor Diocletian persecuted Christians in 286 A.D. before emperor Constantine I. lived in Britain and became the first Christianized Emperor. Until, in 394 A.D., the Briton Pelagius, a Latin name for Merlin or Myrddin, spoke out against the Roman, now supposedly Christian, conquerors by saying that man had no need of God’s grace, and that there was no such thing as original sin, just as Agricola, an earlier Roman emperor had taught. The Roman church fathers were teaching the laity to be ashamed, and worship whatever the Roman church fathers said or did as the Holy work of their God; Christ; along with using the teachings of Christ to conquer and subject the British people to Subjugation and generate a feeling of worthlessness amoungst the conquered.
Between 446-449 A.D., Vortigern, who the ‘venerable’ Bede, Northumbrian biased Anglo-Saxon false portrayer of events describes as representing a ‘wretched remnant of Britons,’ appeals to Theodosius the Younger saying, “the barbarians drive us into the sea {speaking of Bede’s relatives}, and the sea drives us back to the barbarians. Between these, two deadly alternatives confront us, drowning or slaughter.” A very civilized statement of what was probably the fact. And if Bede wasn’t a writing, racist, barbarian, I don’t know who we should value with the first writings of the History of Britain, our disreputable early church Fathers and history writers like Bede or whether we should trust in the earliest writings and songs of the Bards of Britain like Llywarch Hen, Aneirin or Taliesin, or even Geoffrey of Monmouth. Whatever Bede found in himself to write, he betrays himself irrevocably in chapter 14 following what I’ve just repeated. Chapter 14 heading: “The Britons, {?}made desperate by famine{?}, {presumably with no strength left??} drive the Barbarians out of their land. There soon follows {?}an abundance of {?}corn, {?}luxury, {??}plague, and doom{??} on the nation. {I ask how, with starving people, the Britons could possibly have driven out Bede’s relatives??}
Vortigern asks Hengist and Horsa, two heathen Danes, and their retinue, to Briton, but, according to Bede, the heathens turned on the welcoming Britons, “for, as the {?}just{?} Judge ordained, these heathen conquerors devastated the surrounding cities and countryside, {?}extended the conflagration from the eastern to the western shores {?}without opposition{??Bede means to say that, when attacked, Vortigern or Uther didn’t defend his all encompassing sway over Britain??} and established as stranglehold over nearly all the doomed island{?}. Whenever I put up questionmarks I am insinuating that these things are completely made up by the ‘venerable’ Bede.
In other references it is stated that Vortigern married Hengist’s daughter, so how could these battles have even taken place? The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle notes a battle at Aylesford in 455 {Remember this also was composed by the Christian Anglo-Saxon heathens to rewrite history or the truth in hopes of excluding and denying the legitimacy of the Welsh.}, and the English monk Bede, {?}a much better historian than the chronicler or Gildas, says that about the same time the Angles joined forces with the Picts whom they had just defeated. Legends of this crisis, which were used but not invented by Geoffrey of Monmouth, describe a fresh treaty and a marriage of Vortigern to Hengist’s daughter. But if any peace was patched up, it did not last. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle claims that in 457 the Britons were overwhelmed at Crayford and fled to London, abandoning Kent (p.37, The Quest for Arthur’s Britain by Geoffrey Ashe.). {Consider the sources: Anglo-Saxon Christians with a strong, odorous bias. Gildas lied, why not continue the lies??}{Unluckily, our chief witness to this process, and almost our only native one, is an irritating monk named Gildas. Somewhere about 545, he wrote a diatribe against the rulers of Britain in his day. This includes a survey of recent history, and is described very frankly a liber querulus or Complaining Book. It is rhetorical, cryptic and sometimes plainly wrong. In retrospect Gildas exaggerates the Britain’s tendency to be restless and unassimilable under Roman rule. But he gives us glimpses of the transition through the eyes of a literate cleric of Roman sympathies (p. 30-bottom, The Quest for Arthur’s Britain.)
Gildas was one of the relatives and/or brothers of a gentleman named Gweir the Tall, a grandson of Caw, a Pict in the North. How do I know this, ask me not. I will imply it here. Gweir was stated to have been killed, in the very finishing paragraph of Goddodin, by saying his grief is heavy, saying “never was there reared in a hall anyone bolder than he...And although he now is buried under the sod, Gweir the Tall, one son of Fevarch, deserved his meadhorns” and after, in the earlier paragraph, insultingly stating: “The cloak of Dinograd is of many colors, many colors. From the skins of martens did I make it. “Chweet! Chwee! Doggy!” I sang the song of Eight Slaves. When thy father went on his hunt, a spear was upon his shoulder and a club was in his hand. He called his dogs: “Giff! Gaff!; Catch! Catch!; Dog! Dog!” He killed fish in his coracle. The malt cup he killed; lions he devoured. When thy father went to the house in the mountains he headed the roebuck, headed the wild pig, headed the stag. He headed the speckled grouse of the mountains. He headed fish from the falls of Derwennyd. The house of thy father reached to many borders. He used to wage war with his spear against the wild pig and fox. Nothing escaped him unless it had wings.” Who was Aneirin? He is a Welsh singer who ended up saying he had a chain around his head in prison and Llywarch Hen’s son rescued him. He is saying, at the end of Goddodin, that he killed Gildas’ relative, Gweir, that he rules a lot of land and that nothing escapes him. Arthur? Cadwallon?
Then the ‘venerable’ Bede, who sometimes does and sometimes doesn’t take his history from Gildas, the other holy monk, relates that: “Under the leadership of Ambrosius, a Roman, the Britons win their first victory against the Angles [c. A.D. 493] “Their leader at this time was Ambrosius Aurelianus, a man of good character and the sole survivor of Roman race from the catastrophe. Amoung the slain had been his own parents{??How did Bede get a hold of this information? Vortigern? Is it reliable?}, who were of royal birth and title. Under his leadership the Britons took up arms, challenged their conquerors to battle, and with God’s help inflicted a defeat on them. Thenceforward victory swung first to one side and then to the other, until the battle of Badon Hill, when the Britons made a considerable slaughter of the invaders. This took place about forty-four years after their arrival in Britain: but I shall deal with this later. {Why is this so unmentionable chronologically to Bede, the Northumbrian heathen monk?? He never gets back to it. Was Ambrosius related to royal Roman blood?? How?? Through father or mother??}
I swear that here was where the interesting, Godly manifestation of power occurs. Ambrosius or the future Arthur/Cadwallon of the Welsh, of Roman, Greek, Trojan, Persian, & Christ’s, blood of the early great empires, etc., becomes engaged in battle at Mount Badon. Myrddin is in his cave, he has become of age in Briton, having lived 150 years. He is called the ‘Ancient One.’ He too knows he has Christ’s blood in him. I’ll get to the planted, written proof later.
Ambrosius is ganged up on unfairly by several unethical Saxon warriors. His head gear is removed and he is struck a mighty, killing blow on the head.
Suddenly he finds himself in Myrddin’s cave with a whopping headache. Myrddin looks up, sees him and asks him why he isn’t at the planned battlefield of Badon Hill. Arthur explains he was there fighting, they ganged up on him, took off his head gear, clubbed him and suddenly he finds himself here. Myrddin looks shocked and decides to go out to the battlefield.
Upon leaving his cave, Myrddin sees stars and no sun. He shakes his head and becomes truly frightened. He immediately dashes back into the cave, takes out his stellar charts and his astrolabe.
He turns to Arthur, “I will show you where the sun is,” he calmly announces. Arthur follows him out of the cave.
Myrddin points towards a constellation and exclaims, “That is where the sun should be.”
Later they recover Ambrosius’ corpse and Myrddin encloses it in an old oak log.
Details of the discovery in 1190 are given by Gerald of Wales. He notes, among other points, the great depth at which the bodies were found and the fact that they were enclosed in a hollow tree trunk. Although he was a contemporary, too much reliance cannot be placed on these details. According to his statement, a leaden cross was found fixed on the underside of a stone, with the inscribed face inwards. There can be little doubt that this was the cross later preserved at Glastonbury and engraved in the 1607 edition of Camden. The Latin inscription may be translated: Here lies Arthur, the famous king, in the island of Avalon. There is no indication that it included a mention of his wife, Guinvere, as stated by Gerald, who claimed to have handled the cross.
I want to point out probably an erroneous, but speculative posting by Bede. It has been stated by others speculating on the date of the battle at Badon, that it occurred in 517 A.D. Bede, in his chronological summary of the whole book gives only two peculiar references for the possible extinguishing of solar light. He strangely records two eclipses in a row, one in the year 538 and one in the year 540. Why would he be so observant of eclipses 20 years after the presumed date of Badon Hill??
There was earlier on another great British leader unmentionable by Bede except through this writing: “In his place Constantine {Constantine III.}, a common trooper of no merit, was chosen Emperor solely on account of his auspicious name {?Oh, really, Bede? You mean he wasn’t related and of Roman blood and an ethical religious, good fighting man??} Once he had obtained power, he crossed into Gaul, where he was hoodwinked into many worthless treaties {What? He’s making peace? What made the treaties worthless??} by the barbarians and caused great harm to the commonwealth {The Roman-Heathen-Northumbrian-Christian one, Bede??}. Before long, at the orders of Honorius {honorable name?}, Count Constantius entered Gaul with an army, besieged {another words attacked.} Constantine in the city of Arles, captured him, and put him to death. His son Constans, a monk, whom he had created Caesar {What’s this??? Biased reference?!}, was also put to death by Count Gerontius in Vienne{A monk put to death by the Roman Pope?? Shameful Romans!!!#! Shameful venerable!}(p. 57, Chapter 11, Ecclesiastical History of the English People, Bede). Roman rule came to an end in Britain. Don’t ask me how I know this, but I believe that Constantine III. was related genetically to the first Christianized Roman Emperor Constantine I., who set up his entire household in Britain. I also believe that he was, if not the father, then a close relative of Vortigern or Uther, and thence Ambrosius Aurelianus.
Now, we go back in time to the beginning of a parallel and related tale; The Tale of Pelagius or, in later years, Llywarch Hen {meaning, in Welsh, ‘leader-he-guarded-ancient-old-age’}. Quoting Bede: “During the reign of Arcadius, the Briton Pelagius presumptuously belittles the grace of God.” “In the year of our Lord 394, Arcadius, son of Theodosius, forty-third in line from Augustus, became joint-Emperor with his brother Honorius, and ruled for thirteen years. In his time, the Briton Pelagius spread far and wide his {?}noxious and abominable{?} teaching that man had no need of God’s grace, and in this he was supported by Julian of Compania, a deposed bishop {?}eager to recover his bishopric{Aren’t you trying to recover something for yourself, Bede??}. Saint Augustine and other orthodox fathers quoted many thousand Catholic authorities against them, but they refused to abandon their folly{?}: on the contrary, their obstinacy was hardened by contradiction, and they refused to return to the true faith. Prosper the rhetorician has {?}aptly{?} expressed this in heroic {cowardly, insulting} verse:
This being written about Merlin or Myrddin or the later Llywarch Hen just before, with his help and spiritual guidance, Constantine III. begins to take over and Christianize Europe, just before he and his son, the monk, were slaughtered by the other Roman {?}Christian{?} Pope Honorius.
Then, in Chapter 21: “The Pelagian heresy revives, and Germanus returns to Britain with Severus. {?}He then heals a lame youth{?}, and after {!}denouncing{!} or {?}converting{?} the heretics, restores the British church to the Catholic faith{?}.[c. A.D. 438] “After no great interval, news came from Britain that certain people {The unmentionable Pelagius or Myrddin??} were again promulgating the Pelagian heresy. Once again all the clergy requested blessed Germanus {In trouble with the Britons again?} to defend God’s {Their?} cause as before...Meanwhile evil spirits {God?} throughout the land had been reluctantly compelled to foretell {Divinations from the Incorporeal God manifested by Myrddin??} Germanus’ coming, so that a local chieftain named Elaphius {Who ever heard of this guy??} hurried to meet the saints before receiving any definite news.” Apparently Myrddin had magical divinitive powers he was getting from the incorporeal and this scared the heathen Christian superstitious church so much that they had to cast those magical, Godly powers off as the work of the devil. As far as the professed healings go, Bede recorded another book about life in a monastery with absolutely no miracles recorded. A good portion of the Ecclesiastical History of the English People quite probably was made up by Bede to counter the God-given magical powers and reputations of Myrddin.
Then in Chapter 22, shortly after Ambrosius and Pelagius a quote from Bede: “But when those who remembered died, there grew up a generation that knew nothing of these things and had experienced only the present peaceful order {Ambrosius’ or Pelagius peaceful order?? It is Legendary!!}.
Now we get to my theory of the Semitic-Hebrew blood of the Britons...
In Sir Thomas Malory’s {If Arthur was Aneirin, who this{?}} Morte d’Arthur, the Biblical, Christ, Gospel, Joseph of Arimethea, the wealthy gentleman who let Christ be buried in his personal tomb, is recorded by Malory as having traveled to Britain during the years of Christ’s ministry. I have personally seen a photograph of the very middle-eastern seed tree that was planted at Glastonbury Abbey when it was first built.
Malory’s life is interestingly hidden. Geoffrey Ashe writes in his The Quest for Arthur’s Britain: “Among the knights in the period of the Wars of the Roses was Sir Thomas Malory. Doubt overhangs Malory’s career. He was long identified with a very disreputable Warwickshire Malory. Recently, however, Dr William Matthews has argued that he was a much more knightly person who came from Yorkshire. On his own showing, the Malory who matters spent a good deal of time in custody, perhaps as a criminal, perhaps as a prisoner of war-according to Dr Matthews, in the chateau of the duke of Nemours, who owned a collection of relevant romances. In the course of his obscure adventures{?}, Malory managed to produce a complete Arthurian cycle in English, which was issued from the pioneer English press of Caxton {I have 1 of 500 Caxton texts sold in the United States.}. Underlying all his work was a yearning for realizable ideals of kingship and aristocracy: a yearning alien to the irresponsible troubadors, and doubtless prompted in some degree by the infamies of Yorkist and Lancastrian(p.12).
Now, Back to Pelagius... Quoting from Bede, Chapter 19: “Pope Honorius [A.D. 634] and later Pope John [A.D. 640], writes to the Irish about Easter and the Pelagian heresy. Similarly John [IV], who succeeded Severinus, successor to Honorius, while still pontiff elect, sent them authoritative and learned letters to correct this error, showing clearly how Easter Day must be sought between the fifteenth and twenty-first days of the moon {It actually was later determined between the 14th and 21st days of the moon by Wilfrid.}, as was agreed at the Council of Nicea. In this letter he particularly warned them to beware of and suppress the heresy of Pelagius, which, he learned, was reviving among them. {From the letter:} We learn that the pernicious Pelagian heresy has once again revived {?By whom? Pelagius? Myrddin? By this time Llywarch Hen?? Remember the disgusting Briton Pelagius began preaching to the Islanders in 394, 246 years ago.??!} among you, and we strongly urge you to expel the venom of this wicked superstition from your minds. You cannot be unaware that this detestable heresy has already been condemned; for not only has it been {?}suppressed{?Then why the problem? Who are they trying to suppress??} these two hundred years, but it is daily laid under the ban of our perpetual anathema. We therefore beg you not to rake up the ashes of controversies long since burned out. For who can do other than condemn the insolent and impious assertion that man can live without sin of his own free will and not of God’s grace?{?Why not?} In the first place, it is blasphemous folly to say that any man is sinless; for no one can be sinless save the one mediator between God and man, the man Jesus Christ, who was conceived and born without sin. All other men are born in original sin and bear unmistakable evidence of Adam’s fall, even when they are innocent of actual sin{Condemned from birth, Huh? Bizarre. Macabre. Ugly.} For, as the prophet says, “Behold I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. (p. 138-39)” So you can see from this that the supposedly Holy Roman Christian Empire was trying to cast shame on everyone in the name of Christ. Am I right? Were Llywarch Hen, Ambrosius, Vortigern, Constantine III., and a nest of others related to Christ genetically? Pelagius has presumably lived almost 250 years...
