Notes - Caesar, Arthur, St. James and fiction

         The Ides of March. My first ancient hero, Gaius Julius Caesar, was assassinated at the Theatre of Pompey on this date by a group of conspirators lead by Gaius Cassius Longinus and Marcus Junius Brutus. Below is legendary Scottish King Arthur’s legendary connection to the family of Gaius Julius Caesar the father of the assassinated son. Even fiction has its ancestory.

         Both of the above genealogies come from Laurence Gardner’s Bloodline of the Holy Grail that in today’s world has been widely discredited. However, I chose it as one of my sources for my fictional Merlyn’s Mind series when it had slightly more credibility. Nevertheless fiction is a wonderfully creative device.

Laurence Gardner’s Bloodline of the Holy Grail advertisement:

“From royal and suppressed archives comes proof of the descending heritage of Jesus in the West. In Bloodline of the Holy Grail Laurence Gardner casts penetrating new light upon the Grail Code of Service and the venerated feminine element, abandoned by the Church in order to forge a male dominated society. This unique work offers revelatory insight concerning the descendant heirs of Jesus and his brother James while, in documenting a hidden legacy of the Messiah, it unveils hitherto guarded facts about characters such as Mary Magdalene and Joseph of Arimathea. Featuring all the charm and adventure of Arthurian romance, this worldwide bestseller has a cutting edge of political intrigue, which removes the contrived blanket of established dogma to reveal one of the greatest historical conspiracies ever told.”

         You are debating on the fairness of not including the critics of the author and the book here. I say, leave it be. The world is full of both frauds and critics and from my perspective it is sometimes difficult to tell the difference. The above spiked your interest since you had discovered you too were disjointedly connected to the Scottish Royal Clan through the Hubbell’s.

         Fiction is what it is, Amorella, and I still consider myself mostly fiction anyway.

         That is your standing humor and mine too, boy. The only irony here is that you would like to leave this earthly world an honest man. Fiction appears to be the only way to go in this case. Post. – Amorella.
