“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
If there has ALWAYS been such a long and historical and insoluble divide between Christian and Muslim, why does the 11th century MS History give us TWO giant figures who were close to both sides? Haraldr Sigurðarson and Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. Harald Hardradr I have dealt with already. Norwegian. Varangian. Closely connected to the […]

Elisiv of Kiev has been on my list of important subjects since December 2018. The Many Hidden Mysteries of Grand Tartaria Below is not the perfect video for my point but it’ll do. MY DNA. I’ve talked about quite a bit : 36% Scottish, 29% Scandinavian….1% Russian. As we are talking about almost 1,000 years […]

Muirchertach Ua Briain had a bit of a tiff with Magnus Barelegs, King of Norway about the title of High King of Ireland. Enter the Ravens of […]

They are called several names : Colours, Flags, Oriflammes, Pennants etc To Raise The Standard used to mean To Fly YOUR Flag. As High As Possible so that everyone could see it. […]

Thanks to an amazing friend, I learned quite a bit about Alasdair and the Lord of the Isles. She is much more Scandinavian than me. “They” say that Mac Colla was 6ft 7inches…though slightly shorter when “they” beheaded (?) him in Ireland. Mac Colla’s father Coll Ciotach, who was again taken prisoner at Dunyvaig, was […]

OK. Left to me. I can do this. L’il Jackie Greig aka Great Brookes is STILL forbidden. Hunted. Trashed by people who believe that the world started in 1850 (?) My children will NEVER be proscribed. As I Live & Die I WILL reclaim MY family. P.S. I don’t like CAMPBELL’s. Sorry. It’s in my […]

At the risk of sounding all hinkydinky and hippytrippy, I’ve always known that this was my last shot at this stuff. That the curtain would fall when I do. My only EVER truly desperate wish was to have children. And I have. I can go (when I go) happy and fulfilled. This is probably the […]

The lovely girl that I spent yesterday with was talking about their favourite TV show VIKINGS. And she made a comment about a stray Viking walking about, seeing a local girl, them getting together, falling in love and having children. “It must have happened, it’s human nature.” So I told her about my DNA and […]

The Mabinogion has played such a HUGE part in my past decade and a bit more of research for Ravens of Dinefwr. It helped me (along with N.C.) to weld the MSM History of Wales/Ireland/Scotland/The Normans/The Crusades with a new chronology and story. I’ve watched Cerys a few times – she’s my go-to-source for pronunciation […]
