Hittites in the House of
David
(Edition 2.0 20100115-20250525)
There are many surprising and little understood aspects to the size and extent of the House of David and how it has expanded to cover the nations. It has extended the Messianic families and incorporated what are basically Hittite lineages.

Hittites in the House of
David
NB: After this work was published the British and Welsh genealogists contacted us and stated that the work was a completely correct account of the British and Welsh Kings from the First Century BCE to the last Princes of Wales.
In
researching the aspects of the history of nations it became evident just how
important the DNA structure was to the identity of the nations and their
distribution and interrelationship.
The basic
outline was written to explain the structure from one man Adam and one woman
Eve and where the offspring developed and dispersed. That paper is The Genetic Origin of the Nations
(No. 265).
The sons of
Noah were outlined in their respective branches of Shem, Ham and Japheth. The
Bible story fits perfectly into the YDNA structure and explains perfectly the
spread of humans and their origin. In fact it makes a complete nonsense of the
Theory of Evolution once the correct time frames of the mutations are taken
into account.
It is those
mutations that in fact become obvious and relevant to understanding the YDNA
mutations in the House of David. That DNA includes what is in fact Hittite YDNA
that merged into the Davidic lineage in the Tenth century BCE.
When the
writer was researching his YDNA some strange things happened with the results.
There were a series of two, three and four step mutations that occurred that
spread over both Europe and Asia and the Middle East. The first 12 sections
were tested and led to a broad spectrum match with a number of groups of
people. What was of interest was the number of three step mutation matches with
Levites among Russian and Lithuanian Jews extending from Haplogroup (Hg.) R1b
even into Haplogroup (Hg.) N in Lithuania.
What was to
prove somewhat enigmatic was a three-step match with a Palestinian of Hg. RxR1
basic. This match was to prove relevant to later finds.
There were
mutational matches also as far as Siberia and into Spain with a family also in
Cuba, probably coming from Spain.
These finds
were somewhat at odds with the fact that my YDNA was a known sub group of the
Norse Celt range and extended all over Britain into the Scottish Isles of the
Shetlands and the Orkneys and into Denmark Iceland and, strangely enough, into
the European admixture of the Greenland Eskimos.
The
explanation of that is fairly easy and of itself solved a long-standing riddle
of the Norse. We knew that at the early part of the Mediaeval Warm Period
Greenland became ice free in summer and could be farmed. This view was put to
the test when Eric the Red became involved in heated discussion in a banquet in
Thule (now Iceland) in 996 and killed another and more powerful Thane. He took
the road of discretion and loaded up the family and rowed to Greenland. The
family settled it for the next 450 years and went on to colonise the northern
areas of North America. It was thought that the Eskimos had wiped them out as
it became colder in the recent Ice Age from 1450-1760 CE. From the DNA tests it
appears that the family had not been wiped out at all. They simply joined the
Eskimos and adapted to the colder conditions and are still there to this day.
The
standard Evolutionary explanation of the Norse Celts is that they came in from
the Middle East tens of thousands of years ago and settled North West Europe
with a group also in what is Eastern Germany.
The problem
is that that does not fit with what is known of British history and the ancient
records.
The
historical records show that the early inhabitants of Britain were a group of
Magogites that came in from what is now the area of the Black Sea and who were
termed Scythians. The original Irish were also described as coming in from that
region of Greece/Thrace and Scythia. These people in Britain were subjugated by
a group of Hittites from the kingdom of Wilusia, according to the early British
Historians. Their capital at Troy was destroyed by the Hellenic alliance in the
Trojan War. Troy fell in the year 1054 BCE, which was the last two years of the
rule of Eli as judge in Israel, and the Irish histories denote this fact (see
MacGeoghegan-Mitchell, The History of
Ireland, Sadlier & Co., 1868, Chapters 2ff.).
This was
the beginning of the destruction of the Hittite Empire which continued on until
the Assyrians had eradicated them as the Hittite Empire and assumed their
place.
In Britain
these people assumed control from the Tenth century BCE. They repelled an
invasion by the Huns in the Tenth century under the Hun king Humber who was
defeated and killed at the Humber River named after him. The Hittite Trojan
Cymry continued in control for the next fourteen hundred years with conflict
between them and the Picts in the North until the Anglo-Saxons came into
Britain following the Jutes after the retirement of the Romans. For many
centuries they traded with the Middle East and the Phoenicians and from them
they received exposure to Judah and its merchants.
It is from
this lineage that we see some very interesting developments. It is also
probably the origin of the similar YDNA structure that we were to find among
some Middle East people in some surprising places.
An example
of this was the sequence of testing to determine the origins of the YDNA of the
Cox family of Surrey that was to lead to a very interesting development.
The initial
testing graded the lineage as Norse Celts at R1b1c which was later rearranged
in the R1b Haplogroup structure as R1b1b and then with further testing to
R1b1b2a1a4 from the 67 DYS sequence to the U106 group positive at the L48.
Contact
with others in this group saw the assertion made that the YDNA link was of the
House of David in Judah and many of the group were Jews from Israel and from
Spain.
This of
course was understood to be impossible. However, the contact alleged that to be
true. These lineages were stated to be demonstrable genealogically.
This view
coincided with those expressed by another earlier match with an old British
family who claimed that they were Sephardi Jews persecuted in the 1205
persecutions in Britain and driven underground.
This
investigation was to lead to some startling findings in relation to the House
of David and its YDNA structure.
Hg. R in the House of David
Most people
who know anything about YDNA will agree that Hg. R is a non-Semitic YDNA and
stems in biblical terms from the sons of Japheth. It is without doubt
concentrated in the North of Europe and Asia and is related also to the Hg. Q
Amerindians that also stemmed from the Hg. P ancestor which in turn is
descended from the Hg. K ancestral link, which is linked to the Phoenicians and
separate from the Hg. I and J ancestral Hebrew links. If David was anything he
would have been an IJ Hebrew.
On being
confronted with the amazing contentions of these Jews that claimed lineage from
David yet were the U106 group linked to the R1b sub structure further research
yielded the most amazing finds.
It was
shown that at least two major lines of the house of David were in fact Hg. R.
Most were R1b but one was in fact R1a and all were stated to be mutated
significantly from one another.
Such a
discovery makes a complete nonsense of the theory of Evolution and destroys the
premises of the time frames of YDNA mutation.
For these
people to be related from a single ancestor they had to be descended from an
RxR1 basic ancestor that married into the Davidic Royal line and be absorbed
into the genealogical structure just after David. In other words they had to
have married one of David’s daughters or female line. This is quite possible
genealogically as the genealogies in Judah do not mention females and the lines
take the husband’s name even if a descent is taken in the female line. Only
rarely are females mentioned. This fact is evidenced by the genealogy in Luke
chapter 3 which ends with Joseph son of Heli but is widely known and
acknowledged by Judah that the lineage in Luke 3 is that of Mariam the mother
of Christ and the genealogy in Matthew chapter 1 is that of Joseph through
Jeconiah or Coniah.
What has
happened is that two of the major lines in the Royal House of David in Judah
are descended from Celts who could only have come in to Judah in prominence
after the fall of the Hittite empire in the north and this had to have been
subsequent to the fall of Troy in 1054 BCE. There is only one Hittite famous
enough and powerful enough to have entered the family of David and indeed David
forced that situation himself.
The man was
one of the Thirty of Israel and David had him killed to take his wife. That man
was Uriah the Hittite and his wife was Bathsheba the mother of Solomon.
The Bible
is silent on the matter of Bathsheba having a son or sons previously and she is
simply presented as losing the first child to David and then bearing Solomon.
However the law of God speaks volumes regarding the requirement for Uriah to
have had the opportunity to produce offspring by his wife before he was
employed in battle. That he had done so is also evidenced by the fact that he
was not concerned to do so when he returned to Jerusalem. He did not cohabit
with Bathsheba when it was in fact desired and planned that he have the
opportunity to do so.
That
Bathsheba had the opportunity to marry her son into the House of David is
beyond dispute. She was the favourite wife of the king and the mother of the
king designate, namely Solomon, and all Israel knew it. The best way for her to
place her son by Uriah into the Royal House was by having him marry one of
David’s daughters by another wife and there is no question of incest involved.
It
therefore follows as a matter of logic that such a union would have produced
Hittite Hg. R YDNA into the genealogy of David.
For the
presence of R1b and also a small amount of R1a YDNA it has to be assumed that
the original YDNA had to be RxR1 Basic. Thus after 900 BCE the YDNA split into
R1B and then further mutated into an R1a offshoot. The fact that such YDNA is
found in the most powerful Davidic clans in Judah is evidence of this scenario.
It is
therefore a matter of fact that this YDNA is of itself a marker of the Hittite
lines in the Royal House of David through one of David’s daughters. It is a
most powerful argument that the royal line of David was extended to the
gentiles and that salvation was and is of the Gentiles and that this line is of
the line of David and Uriah the Hittite through Bathsheba. It is unlikely to
have been by a marriage with Solomon’s daughters, as that was prohibited by
biblical law.
That line
of R1b YDNA is now amongst the Britons. The fact is further attested by the
genealogical understanding that a major element of this YDNA is derived from
the family name or word meaning son of
Isaac (i.e. Cox). Other families are linked to this YDNA in England and
also in Spain and elsewhere.
This same
YDNA extends to Scotland and into the Shetlands, and to Iceland and to Denmark.
It is widely dispersed.
The
tendency is to sit on the discovery rather than offend the scientists with
their pet theories based on evolutionary theory and mutation cycles or the
families involved. It is far too important a discovery to allow that to happen.
Another ancestor was called Bran the Blessed. He was asserted by the historians/genealogists to be the son-in-law of Joseph of Aramathaea, and his wife Anna was asserted to be the cousin of the Virgin Mariam and one of the Desposyni. Thus all this family and their offspring are Desposyni or the Family of Jesus Christ. The mention by Geoffrey of Monmouth that Marius, alleged son of Arviragus, married the daughter of Bran the Blessed is a confusion of name as Marius was the Latinised form of Arviragus in its short form Meurig. It was Arviragus snr. that married the daughter of Bran the Blessed. Geoffrey says he lived in Rome for a time. Their son Coel married the daughter of Cyllin, son of Caradog, his second cousin. That is also our family line. The problem is discussed in Mike Ashley, Mammoth Book of British Kings and Queens, Carroll and Graf, 1999, p. 78).
Caradog was a Briton of the Cantii (40 CE), the Catuvellauni and Silures (43-51) that fought the Romans. He was first defeated in Kent. His son or brother (or perhaps son/nephew) Togodumnos was killed at the head of a second army somewhere in Hampshire. Togodumnos is thought to have been the Chief of the Dumnoniae of Devon and Cornwall (i.e. Tog y Dymnaint whose real name may have been Guiderius, although it is suggested as Arviragus the elder also).
The Emperor Claudius, with the army under Aulus Plautius, captured Caradog and Arviragus after the great defeat in Wales, and his betrayal by Cartimandua of the Magogite Brigantes of what is now Lancashire. Claudius took the whole family in chains to Rome. Caradog literally talked his way out of being executed (strangled after a Roman Triumph) and was spared along with the family. He and the whole family were baptised under the Apostle Paul. His son Linus seems to have already been baptised by the Apostles and, according to Hippolytus, Linus was appointed one of the Seventy. He became the first bishop of Rome (see the paper Origin of the Christian Church in Britain (No. 266)). He would thus have gone to Canaan with the father of his aunt Anna, namely Joseph, at the time of Christ. Joseph was understood to be a trader in metals with Britain.
After Caradog (or lat. Caratacus) died, reportedly poisoned at the same time as Claudius in 54 CE, Cyllin and Coel, his son-in-law and family, returned to Britain to take up the work commenced by Aristobulus, bishop of Britain and one of the Seventy (this group of the Seventy being sent out from Rome). The family became subjects, or client leaders in Britain, of the Romans and were able to consolidate the Church. Linus was martyred in Rome along with many of the early Church.
So, we can deduce that even though Caradog and the Britons did not want the Romans there and many died to prevent it, the opportunity was used by God to further establish the Church in Britain and northern Gaul. Paul was able to use Caradog’s family, including that of Arviragus, to establish the Church both in Rome and in Britain. Rome was used to consolidate Britain and prepare it for the years ahead where the Reformation would occur and then later the message of the Last Days would be promulgated from its people who were to be spread worldwide. The Celts were able to withstand the paganism of Rome and remain free Christians for centuries.
The Church established Sabbatarian Christianity in Britain and planted it in France against great opposition.
This history was well known but the Trinitarians from Rome went to great lengths to disguise and corrupt the stories and to discredit their veracity after 664 CE when their doctrines were forced on Britain at the point of a sword. There will be one final attempt to destroy God’s people but it will fail (for the previous attempts see also the paper The Virgin Mariam and the Family of Jesus Christ (No. 232)).
To give an
idea of the extent of the Family of Christ in Britain and the Commonwealth the
following lineage will demonstrate the extent of the dispersion.
The lineage
is son of Ewart William, s. of William Charles, s. of Thomas (Thomas William
Martyn Cox of Surrey and Sydney) s. of Thomas Joseph Cox of Surrey m. Emma
Martyn Stocker d. of William Martyn Stocker, son of Joseph Stocker and Mary
Martyn of Broadclyst in Devon. The Stockers of Broadclyst came there from
Winchester and their line goes back to a Thane in the court of Alfred the
Great. They too were an ancient British family that shared in this heritage.
Winchester was the capital in ancient times.
Mary Martyn
wife of Joseph Stocker was the daughter of William Martyn of Broadclyst. The
name William Martyn became a genealogical marker to the family and we will now
stay with this line for the next eight centuries until we leave the Norman
Conquests and go into Wales and the ancient British lineages. Some of the
offshoots will be mentioned because they indicate the extent of the reach of
the bloodlines and their diversity.
William was
the son of Anthony Martyn and Elizabeth Voysey of Broadclyst. The Voyseys are
the offshoots of the baronial house of Vesci. Voysey is the Devonian
(Dumnonian) rendering of the name Vesci. They were clerks of the parish of
Broadclyst for over two hundred years,
commencing with Clement Voysey, when the parish records were first opened.
Their line also married into the Veales of Cornwall descended from William
Veale cousin of Christopher from the Gloucester Veales and also the Tuckers.
They are of our lines (The Knights of
Gloucester). The Veales possess a Merovingian lineage, as does any family
marrying into them. They also trace back
to Harding of Denmark and Eadnoth the Staller, steward to Edward the Confessor.
Anthony
Martyn was the son of Edward s. of John, s. of Anthony, s. of Anthony, s. of
John, s. of Richard, s. of William.
The Martyns
held lands in Dorset and Devon and William’s widow resided in Clyst House. The merchant sons were in Exeter and London
or at Athelhampton.
The Martyn
lineage from William Martyn goes back then to William Martyn of Kemys (or
Chemais) in Pembrokeshire and is fairly well known although often confused by
Mormon genealogy. The Martyn family of the Southwest based in Devon is now
quite extensive worldwide.
The
division of Martyns at Athelhampton in Dorset came from the lineage of Nicholas
Martyn s. of William Martyn. This lineage from the early Britons and the
Desposyni also went to the line of the Spencers and thus is also found in Sir
Winston Churchill, the Earls Spencer and Princess Diana and thus with Princes
William and Harry.
The
demarcation from the Martyns into the Welsh lines came from the grandparents of
Nicholas Martyn. His father was Nicolas Martyn, son of William Martyn, son of
Robert Fitz Martyn, son of Baron Martyn of Tours Lords of Kemys in
Pembrokeshire. Martyn of Tours married Geva de Burci, d. of Serlo de Burci of
the Norman conquests. She married again to a William of Falaise but most of the
lands devolved on the son Robert FitzMartyn. From him Fitz Martyn became the
surname of the line shortening to Martyn.
Nicholas’
wife was Maud De Brien(ne) daughter of
Eve (Eva) De Tracy and Guy de Brien descendant of Jean de Brienne of
Jerusalem and HRE m. Berengeria Infanta d. of Alphonse and Berengaria of
Castile. Eve was the daughter of Henry de Tracy of Barnstaple in Devon.
The Martyn
lines split into two main lines and then into extensive sub lines many of which
were not properly recorded before the church records began in Devon.
The senior
William Martyn married Angharad verch (or ferch) Rhys princess of Wales and
from there we go back to the Ancient British.
The line in
Wales from Angharad (also Angarad) verch (d. of) Rhys Prince of South Wales and
King of Deheubarth (b. ca. 1132 Ireland, d. 28 April 1197 at 65 years) is as
follows below. From Rhys ap (son of) Gruffydd the entire Tudor dynasty sprung
with a massive extension into England. This line was descended from Llywarch of
Dyfed through Elen who married Hywel Dda ap Cadell, ap Rhodri Mawr (m. Angarad)
(see Ashley M., ibid, p. 331; Ashley’s numbers and references have been
retained to enable easy cross reference to the book and its biographical
information).
The line
through Hywel Dda is Rhys ap Griffith ap Rhys ap Tewder ap Cadell ap Einion, ap
Owain, ap Hywel Dda (m. Elen verch Llywarch of Dyfed, see below) ap Cadell, ap
Rhodri Mawr (m. Angharad verch Meurig). These two lines from the females are of
importance also as Angharad was descended through her father Meurig from the
sons of Cunedda through Ceredig (Ashley chart 4, p. 140).
Rhodri was
the son of Merfyn ap Essyllt (m. Gwirad (Ashley NA8), ap Cynan ap Rhodri. Cynan
also had a putative line across to the line of Caradog (Ashley ibid., ED 14) of
the sons of Owain ap Einion and brother to Cadwallon ap Einion ap Cunedda.
The line to
Cadwallon continued as Rhodri ap Idwal, ap Cadwaladr ap Cadwallon, ap Cadfan,
ap Iago, ap Beli, ap Rhun, ap Maelgwyn, ap Cadwallon, ap Einion, ap Cunedda (ca
450s).
Cunedda had
nine sons:
Tybion (whose line was of Mierionydd); Edern,
Rhuton, Dunant (whose line was of Dunoding), Einion (whose line was of Gwynedd
Rhos); Dogfael, Ceredig (whose line was Ceredigion); Osfael and Afloeg.
The
offspring of Cunedda that ruled in Gwent and Glywysing are included in Ashley
ibid, on p. 122. That chart includes rulers of Ergyng and Brittany.
Cunedda
married Gwawl daughter of Coel Hen whose lines went to the Celts of the North
as well as Wales and his line also passed to the line of Oswy of Northumbria in
his marriage to Rhiainmelt d. of Rhoeth ap Rhun ap Urien ap Cinmarc ap
Merchiaun ap Gurgust ap Ceneu ap Coel Hen.
Coel Hen
married Ystradwal daughter of Cadafa ap Cynan ap Eudaf, who is descended from
Coel ap Cadfan. It was Cadfan who married Gwladys d. of Lucius, ap Coel I. Coel married the daughter of Cyllin son of
Caratacus (Caradog) who was captured by the Romans with his brother Arviragus
and their families and taken to Rome. His son Linus the brother of Cyllin was
one of the Seventy and the first bishop of Rome being
appointed by Christ at Jerusalem and mentioned by the Apostle Paul. Much has been done to undermine this record by the Roman Church (see
also the paper Origin of the Christian Church in
Britain (No. 266)). The third son Guiderius is thought to have possibly
been the Togidumnus killed by the Romans in the Southwest of Britain. Some assert that Coel Hen was of the tribe of
the Brigantes, but if so he was a Magogite. The other and more likely assertion
is that he was of the Votadini. John Morris asserts he was Dux Bellorum (War Duke) of Britain but according to Ashley this is
not proven (ibid. p. 97).
Caratacus
was the son of Cunobelin ap Tasciovanus.
Arviragus
brother of Caratacus (which is his Romanised name) had a son named Meurig
(called Marius by the Romans) who married the daughter of Prasutagus king of
the Iceni and husband of Boudica (who led the revolt of the Iceni against the
Romans after they had raped her and her daughter. She and the Iceni burnt
Colchester, the then capital). Her line is putative from Antedios ap
Addedormarusbut but is certain from their ancestors Mandubracius ap Imanuentus.
The line of
Arviragus and Lucius ap Coel I is also descended from Bran the Blessed and
extends also to another line of the British through Ceretic ap Cynloyp ap
Cinhil ap Cursalem ap Fer ap Confer ap Cunedd to Coel son of Cadfan and Glwadys
daughter of Lucius ap Coel I.
The line of
Coel Hen (probably old King Cole of the nursery rhyme), who married Ystradwal
of this line, was descended from Bran through his son Beli and his son Amalech
(Avallach) through Amalech’s son Eudelen.
Gwawl
daughter of Coel Hen married Cunedda who was also descended from Bran through
Amalech as follows:
Cunedda ap
Edern ap Paternus ap Tacit ap Cein ap Guocein ap Doli ap Guordoli ap Dyfwn ap
Gurdumn ap Amgualoyt ap Angeurit ap Oumun ap Dyfwn ap Brithguein ap Eugein ap
Amalech ap Beli ap Bran the Blessed ap Llyr (king Lear) (m. Penardun verch Llud
ap Beli Mawr (ruling Britain ca 100 BCE)). King Lear (the character of
Shakespeare) was the son of Caswallon ap Beli Mawr and thus Lear and Pernadun
were cousins.
It was
Arviragus chief of the Silurians that gave the twelve hides of land to the
Church at the request of Joseph and his nephew Linus ap Caradog to build the
church at Glastonbury. Thus my/our ancestors founded the church in Britain with
Aristobulus bishop of Britain and also one of the Seventy with Linus. The
daughter of Cyllin and the son of Meurig (Marius) son of Arviragus i. e. Coel I
returned to Britain from Rome and established the church with their son Lucius
and his son Cadfan (m. Gwladys).
The
genealogical charts and maps of the Celtic tribes have been drawn up and are
listed on the Abraham’s Legacy site.
Bran the
Blessed is termed “the Blessed” because of his relationship and his marriage.
He married Anna the daughter of Joseph of Aramathaea. Joseph was the uncle of
the Virgin Mariam and the great uncle of Jesus Christ. He was a descendant of
the Royal House of David and a member of the Sanhedrin, and his lineage was
understood to be that in Luke chapter 3.
It thus
follows (no matter how much it is argued) that the descendants of Bran the
Blessed in Britain are the Desposyni and are the Family of Christ and that is
why so much effort was made after the synod of Whitby in 664 CE to destroy the
records of the lines and discredit the understanding by the Roman Church both
in Britain and in Europe. This was done by both the Roman Church and the
Anglo-Saxons, and the Normans after them, for reasons of power and control of
religion. However, the activities of Joseph are enshrined in the legends and
songs of the ancient British.
Fortunately,
as can be seen from these lineages they have now permeated virtually every one
of the families of Britain. One would have to virtually exterminate every
Anglo-Celt in the British Commonwealth and the USA to get rid of the family of
Christ.
They would
then have to start on France and Northern Germany to eliminate them. However,
the Royal families of Europe have been penetrated by the lines of the Royal
House of David. The Merovingians brought the line in and spread it throughout
Europe. So also it extended in the “Fisher kings” of the Scandinavians and came
in with the Norse.
The
Merovingian line with its Davidic lineage was also brought to England in many
forms and we can see that it also runs in the Veales of Cornwall and Gloucester
as well as in the lines of the Plantagenets to Henry II and subsequently from
above as do those of the Fisher kings above. These lines were also spread
throughout Britain.
The kingdom
of Strathclyde was formed from the line of Coel to Cynloyp and his son Ceretic.
There was also a putative line to Tutagul (Ashley DA2).
Ceretic
produced two lines, the major line being through Cinuit. The main line of
Cinuit came through Dumnagual. His four sons were Clinoch (FB4) Cinbelin (DA
22) Garwynwyn and Inganach (m. Brychan) and their son lluan married Gabrhain
and they married into and produced the Dal Riata Scots in Ireland from Ulster
and in Scotland from the Irish connection (see below).
Thus the
lineages of the British went to Ireland from Strathclyde and returned from
Ireland to the British Celts and Scots in what is now Wales and England and
Scotland.
My Irish
lineage is of the clan of Geohegan of Meath and Kings County from my mother
Sylvia d. of William Padget son of John Thomas Padget m. Jane Geohegan d. of
William Geohegan of Kiama, s. of Laurence Geohegan of Scarborough England great
great-great grandson of Charles Geoghegan of Ireland direct descendant of
Eohegan or “Little Horse”, 3rd son of Neill of the Nine Hostages.
The lineage is on the Abraham’s Legacy site at www.abrahams-legacy.org/geoghegans.html.
The lineage
of Neill is important because at least 5% of the entire population of Ireland
is directly descended from him, not to mention the Scots and many English
families who are also descended from his ancestors as well. Thus an incredible
number of Irish share this lineage and, as we will see, also a relationship to
the House of David.
Neill was a warrior in Ireland who had a number of wives and concubines. He was declared High King in Ireland at Tara. He invaded Britain and renamed Alba as Scotland, after the Milesian ancestress Scota. The original Scota was a princess of the 18th Ahmosid dynasty of Egypt and she, with her husband Niul and her son Gaodhal Glas (from whom the Gadelians are named), crossed the Red Sea with Moses in the Mixed Multitude. Niul had been given the land of Campus Cyrunt and the Pharaoh’s daughter’s hand in marriage because of his efforts in the Nubian wars in the South. Their loyalty to Israel saw them persecuted by Egypt and they had to leave the lands given to them by the preceding Pharaoh.
To return to Neill of the Nine Hostages, his family had established the Dal Riata Scots as we will see below.
After invading Britain, Neill then invaded Europe and was almost responsible for expelling the Romans from Gaul. He took 200 captives in chains to Ireland. He himself was later murdered by the son of the king of Leinster. One of the 200 slaves/prisoners was a man named Patrick of Tours, nephew or son of Martyn of Tours (accounts vary depending on denomination; the Martyn line of Devon above is also descended from this family in the Norman Conquest of 1066 with Baron Martyn of Tours). Patrick paid Neill back by converting his great-great grandson to the Christian Faith. That grandson was named (in the English) Columba. He became the great Sabbatarian Saint Columba of Iona and went on to consolidate the Christian Faith among the Irish Celts and Scots. He was the greatest Sabbatarian Churchman of the Celts. He went on to train those such as Aiden of Lindisfarne and the Sabbatarian Church was developed further through them, even though the councils saw the Celtic Church falter and virtually go underground after 664 CE at Whitby.
Neill had no idea that what he was doing would change Ireland forever. God used them all for a purpose. Columba got on with the Faith even though he no doubt would have been more powerful and wealthy with a sword in his hand, but not more lastingly famous. He prophesied his own death on the Sabbath.
The kings
of Dal Riata take their ancestry from the Milesian Fedlimid (T118).
The two
major lines of his were of the sons Fiachu and Conn. The ancestral chart is at
Ashley ibid., p. 194 (chart 8).
The line
that married into the British and became the Welsh line is from Fiachu down to
Elen who married Hywel Dda (EB15; EC23) (Ashley chart 17). The line of the
Irish O’Neills and Geoghegans is from Conn and his son Art.
The line
back from Elen is Elen v. Llywarch (EC21) of Dyfed (Brother of Rhodri (EC22) ap
Hyfaidd (EC20) ap Tangwystyl (m. Bledri) ap Owain (EC18) (Brother of Rhain
(EC17) father of Tryffin (EC19).
Their
father was Maredudd (EC16) ap Tewdys (EC15) ap Rhain (EC14) ap Cadwgan (EC13)
ap Cathen (EC12) ap Gwylyddien (EC11) ap Nowy (EC10) ap Arthwyr (EC9) ap Pedr
(EC8) ap Cyngar (EC7) ap Vortepor (EC6) ap Aircol (EC5) ap Tryffin (EC4) ap Aed
(EC3) ap Corath (EC2) ap Eochaid (EC1) ap Artchorp ap Angus ap Fiachu ap
Fedlimid (T118).
Fedlimid of
Ireland’s other son Conn (T120) produced
the lines of Art (T122) and Saraid who married Conair (T122) ap Moglama.
The
descendants of Saraid and Conair were Corbred (Q40) f. of Eochaid (T126) f. of
Athirco (Q829), Findacher (Q831), Thrinkind (Q834?) Romaich (Q836), Angus
(Q837) f. of Eochaid, f. of Erc who was the father of Loarn, Fergus (FC1) and
Angus.
Loarn was
father of Muirdach and Fergus was father of Domangart. From these two the Dal
Riata Scots were descended (see Ashley Charts 8 & 9, pp. 194 and 195).
The
importance of this lineage from Fedlimid was that the prophet Jeremiah had
taken the throne princess from Judah and placed the lineage in Ireland amongst
the Tuatha de Danaan. When the Milesians invaded and came to rule in Ireland
this line also passed into the Milesian kings and thus, from our ancestor
Fedlimid, the Davidic lineage spread not just into the Dal Riata Scots but also
into the houses of Dyfed. From there it went into Wales and hence the lineages
above. Also it went into Northumbria. It also went into the O’Neill’s and into
the Geoghegans (and the Higgins and the other families descended from Niall).
These lineages were through the line of Art (T122) ap Conn. Art was the brother
of Saraid, ancestress of the Dal Riata (this aspect will be examined in more
detail in the paper at part D, Jeremiah
and the House of David (No. 67D)).
The Tuatha
De Danaan also, as a group of people, moved in large numbers into Britain and
in their lines also brought the early lineages of the House of David over among
their Haplogroup I Israelites who intermarried with the British Celts in
significant numbers and then into the Anglo-Saxons. This union is the basis of
the union of Ephraim and Dan in prophecy as the new Joseph (see the paper Genetic Origin of the Nations
(No. 265)).
The lineage
from Art ap Conn ap Fedlimid was Cormac Mac Art (T125) to his sons Cairbre
(T127) to Fiacha (T128) to Muirdach (T130) to Eochaid (T132) to Niall (T134).
Three of
Neill’s sons were Loeguire (T136) (father of Crimthan) and also Eogan and
Conall. Eogan was father of Murtagh by Erc daughter of Loarn of the Dal Riata.
She also had a son by Conall ap Niell and their son Fedlimid was the father of
Colum Cille or St Columba of Iona who was cousin to the Geoghegan and O’Neill
lines.
The Lion of
Judah is featured on the shield of the Geoghegans and is a Red lion with
Geoghegan but the lion appears as a Blue and also a Green Lion on other
Milesian Clans. The arms of Geoghegan is a shield argent (silver) with a lion
rampant gules (red) and three red hands (of Ulster) one in each of the corners
of the shield.
Murtagh ap
Muirdach ap Eogan was father to Domnal (T142) from whom the O’Neill kings of
Ireland were descended. He also fathered Baetan (T145) whom, through his
granddaughter Fina verch Colman (T151) passed the lineages into Northumbria by
marriage to Oswy (L16) (see Ashley chart 15).
Thus the
link went from the British Celts in Strathclyde to Ireland and back again as a
double link from Ireland into Scotland and Wales as well as Northumbria and on
into England generally.
The Davidic
lineages are all over the British Isles and throughout the Commonwealth and the
USA in a multitude of families who all take their names from one or more of
these ancestors. The lines came in from five (and in fact six) directions as we
can see from above.
The
traditional old and imperfectly described route was via Jeremiah and the throne
princess daughter of Zedekiah to Ireland and from thence to Scotland, England
and Wales. Thus the overturning was in three directions not just in a sequence
of three as explained by the “British Israelites” as we will see from Part D.
The second
method was via the Desposyni and the family of Christ from the marriage of Bran
the Blessed to Anna daughter of Joseph of Aramathaea. This avenue became very
widespread and much has been done to discredit it. This line established
Christianity in Britain and Northern Gaul.
The third
avenue was via the French lineages from the Merovingians who also trace the
lineage back to Antenor I king of the Cimmerians ca 500 BCE. These are the
vestiges of the Wilusian Hittites from Troy also, hence Cymry or Cimmerians.
They had deliberately introduced the Davidic Line through arranged
intermarriage.
The fourth
entry was via the Israelites of the Northern tribes who had intermingled with
the Anglo-Saxons in Parthia and came in under Odin and intermingled with the
original British who were both Riphathian and Magogite Celts as were the
Anglo-Saxons themselves. The distinctions are in the YDNA haplogroups but
intermarriage has destroyed any separation of people completely.
The fifth
method was through the entry of the Sephardic Jews into Britain from the
beginning and from their intermarriage especially after the persecutions of
1205.
Our family
has all five (plus) links.
The House
of David is extensive throughout the British Commonwealth and the USA and much
of it is through the female lineages. It is all pervasive and impossible to now
differentiate except by isolating the YDNA but that cannot eradicate the fact
of the mtDNA cross-breeding also. The YDNA lines in Judah show a Hittite Celt
ancestor but that cannot alter the fact of massive Davidic interbreeding.
The message
is that salvation is now of the Gentiles and will continue en masse.
