A Mythical Pedigree

The purpose of this free space profile is to provide links and commentary to the persons named in a table now generally regarded as higly mythical.

Early Appearance of the Pedigree

Morgan's St. Paul in Britain

The pedigree is presented on page 192 of R. W. Morgan's 1861 book, St. Paul in Britain. [1] It must be noted that Morgan's book is primarily polemic, i.e. he has a point to make and he selects the facts available to prove his point. For Morgan, the point he was seeking to make was that there was in Britain and Wales a form of Christianity earlier than Papal Christianity, and therefore more legitimate. The genealogical argument he seeks to make in support of this is that some pre-Roman British rulers had actually become Christian prior to the Roman conquest of Britain, and through marriage were descended from early Christians. While some of the facts he provides historical documentation, much of his material must be considered legendary and without historical documentation. This profile identifies the people in his chart, and links them to existing WikiTree profiles where they exist, identifying where possible the degree of fact and legend.
