Note: Keep in mind that this page was intended for a fun or an interesting genealogical look at the possibilities for a line toward royalty and beyond. If you want solid proof of everything posted here, it won't happen. This page is only a primer for your own research.
Before you look at "The Line," which is my royal ancestral line at the bottom of this page, I would first like you to read a bit about this line. This find, that I discovered, is what any genealogist would consider an ultimate find. Over the years, occasionally I would here someone say that they knew someone that got there line clear back to the days of Christ or even Adam. I always thought that this was an impossible thing to do and never believed these stories until now. Of course, when my line approaches 1 A.D. and into B.C. then things can be argued as to it's correctness. However, this line that goes through kings of Wessex and kings of ancient Saxony for generations to the early A.D. period of time can easily be substantiated. It is also very interesting, when you follow this line into B.C., that it maybe possible to have a line that goes clear back to Adam. And if I have succeeded in discovering this correct path then I may have done just that. Enjoy reading and looking at this my royal line.
From Brimhall to Lady Godiva
On the Famous Relations Page I show how my Temple line can be traced to Earl Leofric of Mercia. Leofric married Lady Godgifu; commonly known as Lady Godiva. The Temple line comes about when James Bramhall (1614 - ) of Canterbury, England married Lady Florence Temple (1614 - ) of Yorkshire, England. For those that have researched the Brimhall / Bramhall lines know that these lines have an abundance of historical figures but little know that one of these lines, through Florence Temple, go through royal lineage. It is my intent, on this page, to show this royal lineage. From Lady Florence, the Temple line is traced back to where the name was referred to as De Temple. The name then becomes more of a title than a last name ("De" has the meaning of "of"). Henry De Temple (1068 - 1095) was said to have taken the name Temple after the Temple Manor that stood in Strood, Kent, England. There is a Temple Manor that stands in Strood, Kent, England today but has been added upon, remodeled, and altered over time that I'm not sure if this is what it looked like back then. And it possibly may not even be the same manor that was in Henry De Temple's day. In 1159, King Henry II gave this manor to the Knights Templar. The Knights Templar probably used this manor for the accommodation of traveling Templar dignitaries.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar_in_England it states that "The Templars had assembled a range of buildings in Strood by 1185, which included a timber hall, barns, kitchens and stables. The stone building, which has survived to the present day, was added around 1240. This "stone building" is the Temple Manor. Photo of the Temple Manor can be viewed at http://www.picturesofengland.com/user/Kentman/pictures//England/Kent/Rochester/Temple_Manor which shows the exterior as well as the interior. There seems to be a problem with the claim that Henry De Temple took the name after the Temple Manor. Henry De Temple lived between 1068 to 1095. King Henry II gave it to the Templars in 1159. But It is also said that the Templars built the Temple Manor in 1240 AD. The only way that this could happen is that this Temple Manor, that sits today, is not the same manor that sat in Henry De Temple's day. I believe that it was on the same land but that the earlier manor had either been burnt down, had been torn down, or had been altered considerably. A new manor could have been built or the existing one extensively remodeled by the Templars that this claim could have been made.
If you follow this line up, you come to Earl Leofric of Mercia III (975 - 1057). He married Lady Godgifu who was commonly known as Lady Godiva (980 - 1067). She is my 28th great grandmother. The legend of Lady Godiva dates back to England in the Middle-Ages when the Saxon wife of a Danish Lord rode naked through the streets of Coventry in order to lessen the burden of taxes on the local people. The legend states that she begged her husband several times not to raise taxes on the people but he would always refuse. The last time she begged him he jokingly said that he would if she rode her horse naked through the street. She took her husband as an honorable man so she did just that. There are several versions to this story; however there have been studies to find if this legend has any validity to it. It has been found that the only truth to this legend is that Lady or Countess Godgifu (Godiva) existed and she was married to Earl Leofric of Mercia. And that’s about it! If you want to find out more about the legend of Lady Godiva then here is one link: http://harvardmagazine.com/2003/07/lady-godiva-the-naked-tr.html. From here we follow the line up to Earl Leofwine of Mercia (946 - 1028) then to Edulf of Mercia, Earl of Devonshire (840 - 860). Then up further on the line we enter into the line of the Wessex kings.

Then up further on the line we enter into the line of the Wessex kings.
The Wessex Kings
In 495 AD the Anglo-Saxon Cerdic arrived on the southern shores of Britain (Southhampton) with a fleet of five ships. He fought the Welsh troops there with his 5,000 men. In 508, Cerdic slew a British King. In 519, Cerdic and his son Cynric established an Anglo-Saxon government in Wessex. Many other battles occurred and he and his men fought the Celt and Brits. It is said that the legendary King Arthur must have fought against Cynric’s invading force. Sometime between 538 and 554 AD the first king of Wessex (or West Saxon) began with Cerdic as king of this land. A lot of this information is from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles which was written about 300 years later, so the accuracy may be in question. Some say that he was born in Ancient Saxony, Germany about 467 AD. Ancient or old Saxony is the original homelands of the Saxon people and was located in the northwest corner of Germany. Others say that he was not a Saxon at all but a Brit. Cerdic and a few other Wessex kings are part of my royal line. The last of the Wessex kings that is found on my line is King Aethelwulf (806 – 858) whose son was Alfred the Great.
Sceaf The Problem Child
Legends vs facts or myths vs credible documented evidence is what genealogists should consider when making claims of ancient ancestral lineages. There are incredible evidences of old, from ancient poetic songs to old English manuscripts, that tell of a man named Sceaf. A man named Sceaf probably existed but the stories about him were probably over exaggerated. The problem with a legend is that it may have started out as a story based on a bunch of facts but got altered and changed over hundreds of year to sensationalize and make the story interesting. The legend of Sceaf is one of these problematic situations that only support those that are eager to show proof of a lineage; even to the ancient biblical father and mother – Adam & Eve.
The story goes something like this:
A mysterious young boy came out from the sea in a light boat. The small child was asleep with his head on a handful of corn (called sceaf). One writing says that the boat landed on an island off the shores of Zealand which is Denmark. He was well received by the men of this country. They called the child Sceaf from the corn he slept on. And even though he had no origin or birth right that they knew of, the boy grew up and became a Lombardic king.
The ancient Anglo-Saxon Chronicles in 855 AD explains that Sceaf was born on Noah’s Ark. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles is suppose to be a chronicle history of the Anglo-Saxon people, kings, and rulers and it was created in the late 9th century. It was supposedly updated every year for hundreds of years. The problem is that we only have copies and not the originals. When a book was being updated, another book was created and the old one discarded. Over the years, the scribes of that day, would alter things to stay current with popular beliefs.
However, there are other ancient writings that had shared beliefs concerning Sceaf. Some ancient text will state that Sceaf is Shem the son of Noah. Other writings will state that he is a fourth son of Noah. Still other writings will state that another man as being a fourth son of Noah and that Sceaf is the son of this man or a direct descendant of man.
I personally do not believe that Sceaf is the son or grandson of the biblical Noah. It seems to me that Sceaf would had to have been born generations earlier to even be considered as the son of Noah. I also have not read any reliable documents that would substantiate this idea. I do believe that a person named Sceaf that is suppose to be Shem or his grandson that could have existed during the time period in Denmark. Especially, when he was suppose to have been found as a child. Sceaf could have been born about 200 BC but surely not about 2,000 BC. In Abraham’s day’s, Abraham visited King Melchizedek of Salem to pay tithes to him. Melchizedek is recognized to be Shem the son of Noah by many. The area of Salem in Melchizedek or Shem’s Days is said to be near Mount Gerizim which is north of Jerusalem – not in Denmark.

Troy
The kings of Troy are my ancestors. The ancient city of Troy appeared in Greek and Latin literature. Homer first mentioned the story of Troy in Iliad and Odyssey. Later, it became the most popular subject in Greek drama. The 2004 movie “Troy,” with Brad Pitt, depicts Homer’s great Trojan War that took place about 1200 BC. In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans (Greeks) after Paris of Troy took Helen from her husband Menelaus king of Sparta. This war took place about the same time that Moses was leading the Jews to the Promise Land. After the Trojan War, the ancient city of Troy was destroyed and abandoned from about 1100-700 BC but the Greeks then re-established it later on. The ancient city of Troy was originally built about 3,000 BC and was finally destroyed for good in 400 AD. I say “finally destroyed of good” because over the centuries, Troy was destroyed 9 times and then rebuilt each time. In the Bronze age, Troy was a great power because of its strategic location between Europe and Asia. In the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, Troy was a cultural center. About 700 BC, Greek settlers began to occupy the Troas region and Troy was resettled and named as Ilion. Alexander the Great ruled the area around the 4th century BC. After Romans captured Troy in 85 BC, it was restored partially by Roman general Sulla and named as New Ilium. For many years, people believed that Troy was a city only in tales and never existed. But then it was discovered in 1870 AD by H. Schlieman. Troy is located in Hisarlik near Canakkale province, Turkey.
Another ancestor on this line, and whom I am suppose to be related to, is Thor (Trór) of Troy King of Thrace and according to Homer, God of Thunder. Thor was born about 1190 BC but his death is unknown. Thor’s father was Mennon, King of Troy and Ethopia. Mennon married a daughter of chief Priam.

The Zarah Connection
Instead of being a follower of the "Sceaf, the son or grandson of Noah" idea, I am more incline to adopt the "Zarah Connection" or way of thinking. Zarah was the twin son of Judah and Pharez is his twin brother. The story of the twin sons of Judah can be found in the book of Genesis.
Gen 38: 28:
"And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first."
Gen 38: 29:
"And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez."
Gen 38: 30:
"And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah."
The Zarah line of the Judah tribe left Egypt hundreds of years before Moses. As those migrating men of the Zarah tribe sailed west in the ships of Dan (the tribe of Dan), they left their name with Dan's name. The island of Zar-Din-ia is today; Sardinia as we call it, west of Italy. The tribe of Zarah settled the Ancient City of Zara-gossa, on the Ebro River in Spain, hence the city name. "Gaza" means "strong" in Hebrew, Zara-goza is "Zerah's stronghold." The poet Homer's: "Illiad" tells the story of the Israelite quarrel. Prince Paris from Troy, a Zarahite Prince had returned home to Troy with Helen the wife of Menelaus the King of the Danaan city of Sparta, in Greece. That began the 10 years of the Trojan Wars and when the King launched a thousand ships of Dan to attack Troy, to get his wife back. Remember that Troy was founded by Darda a Zarahite, of Judah…Paris the Trojan, had been in Sparta negotiating a Peace treaty when he came to love Helen...The woman whose face launched a thousand ships. The City of love was named for her. Paris, in France was named for that famous Trojan warrior who loved her so much and began the Trojan Wars. See Chart # 1 below.
So, if I adopt this way of thinking, the "Zarah Connection," then this line that I connect to goes to Judah and then up to Adam. This is my royal line of Kings, Queens, and Prophets of old. Adam is my 105th Great-Grandfather. Please look at "The Line" below.

Zarah ben Judah King of Dardania (1738 BC – 1500 BC) Died in Rameses, Goshen, Egypt. (Matt 1:5) Zarah was born from Judah from his Canaanite daughter in-law.
From http://www.parowanprophet.com/A_Trojan_Horse/helen_of_troy.htm:
Genesis 38: 30, “And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah." The Zarah line of the Judah tribe left Egypt hundreds of years before Moses. As those migrating men of the Zarah tribe sailed west in the ships of Dan (the tribe of Dan), they left their name with Dan's name. The island of Zar-Din-ia is today; Sardinia as we call it, west of Italy. The tribe of Zarah settled the Ancient City of Zara-gossa, on the Ebro River in Spain, hence the city name. "Gaza" means "strong" in Hebrew, Zara-goza is "Zerah's stronghold." The poet Homer's: "Illiad" tells the story of the Israelite quarrel. Prince Paris from Troy, a Zarahite Prince had returned home to Troy with Helen the wife of Menelaus the King of the Danaan city of Sparta, in Greece. That began the 10 years of the Trojan Wars, when the King launched a thousand ships of Dan to attack Troy, to get his wife back. Remember that Troy was founded by Darda a Zarahite, of Judah…Paris the Trojan, had been in Sparta negotiating a Peace treaty when he came to love Helen...The woman whose face launched a thousand ships. The City of love was named for her. Paris, in France was named for that famous Trojan warrior who loved her so much and began the Trojan Wars. See Chart # 1

Lady Godiva (or Godgifu) (980 - 1067) is my 28th great grandmother.
She married Earl Leofric of Mercia III (975 – 1057). The legend of Lady Godiva dates back to England in the Middle-Ages when the Saxon wife of a Danish Lord rode naked through the streets of Coventry in order to lessen the burden of taxes on the local people. The legend states that she begged her husband several times to not raise taxes on the people but he would always refuse. The last time she begged him he jokingly said that he would if she rode her horse naked through the street. She took her husband as an honorable man so she did just that. There are several versions to this story; however there have been studies to find if this legend has any validity to it. It has been found that the only truth to this legend is that Lady or Countess Godgifu (Godiva) existed and she was married to Earl Leofric of Mercia. And that’s about it!
