# Note: Clodion, the first king of this dynasty known to history, began his series of conquests in Northern Gaul about the year 430. He penetrated as far as Artois, but was driven back by Aetius, who seems to have succeeded in keeping him on friendly terms with Rome. In fact, it seems that his son Merovaeus fought with the Romans against Attila on the Mauriac plains. # Note: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06238a.htm

# Note: Moses went to Pharaoh with his brother Aaron, but in spite of the miracles he worked, such as changing the water of the Nile to blood and bringing plagues upon the Egyptians, Pharaoh would not release the Hebrew people. At last, he consented,and Moses led the Hebrews out of Egypt toward Canaan. As they neared the Red Sea, a hostile Egyptian army, dispatched by Pharaoh, came upon them from the rear. Moses stretched out his arm, whereupon the Red Sea rose up in two walls, leaving dry land between them. The Hebrews crossed on the land, but when the Egyptians tried to pursue them, the walls of water broke upon them, and they drowned. When the Hebrews reached Sinai, on the Sinai Peninsula, Moses ascended the mountain to speak # Note: with Yahweh. He spent 40 days and nights with Yahweh, from whom he received two tablets of stone on which were inscribed the Ten Commandments, which thereafter constituted the fundamental laws of the Hebrews. After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness and desert under Moses's leadership and the endurance of many hardships, such as earthquakes, plagues, fires, thirst, and wars with the native people of Palestine, the Hebrews at last came to Canaan. Moses was permitted by Yahweh to # Note: see Canaan, the Promised land, from the top of Mount Pisgah (now in Jordan), and then he died. Before he died, however, he turned the leadership of the people over to Joshua. Although the dates of Moses's birth and death are hard to establish,many contemporary authorities believe that the exodus took place in the 13th century BC. # Note: # Note: The Pentateuch # Note: # Note: Besides being one of the most famous national leaders and lawgivers in history, Moses was reputedly the author of the first five books of the Old Testament, known collectively as the Pentateuch, and also of other parts of the Old Testament,including possibly the Book of Job. Scholars agree almost unanimously, however, that these books are the interwoven work of many authors. # Note: # Note: In Christianity # Note: # Note: Moses is also well known to Christians; he is mentioned frequently in the New Testament. At Christ's transfiguration, he represents the Law (see Matthew 17:3), and the role he plays in the Old Testament is pointed out in the Epistle to the Hebrews, so as to offer a comparison with that of Christ (see Hebrews 3:1-6). He is also mentioned in the Gospel of John, again to underscore the role of Christ as the fulfillment of the Scriptures (see John 1:17).

King of Jersusalem Fulk IV, Count of Anjou, 1068-1109, surnamed the Rude, who succeeded as Count of Anjou at the decease, in prison, of his brother Geoffrey, the Bearded. Fulk died April 14, 1109, leaving by Bertrade, daughter of Simon de Montfort, a daughter Ermengarde and a son, Fulk V. Fulk IV of Anjou (1043 – 1109), also known as Fulk le Réchin, was count of Anjou from 1068 to 1109. The nickname by which he is usually referred has no certain translation. Philologists have made numerous very different suggestions, including "quarreler", "sullen", and "heroic". He was the younger son of Geoffrey (sometimes known as Alberic), count of Gâtinais, and Ermengarde of Anjou, a daughter of Fulk Nera, count of Anjou, and sister of Geoffrey Martel, also count of Anjou. When Geoffrey Martel died without direct heirs he left Anjou to his nephew Geoffrey IV of Anjou, Fulk le Réchin's older brother. Fulk fought with his brother, whose ruled was deemed incompetent, and captured him in 1067. Under pressure from the Church he released Geoffrey. The two brothers soon fell to fighting again, and the next year Geoffrey was again imprisoned by Fulk, this time for good. Substantial territory was lost to Angevin control due to the difficulties resulting from Geoffrey's poor rule and the subsequent civil war. Saintonge was lost, and Fulk had to give the Gâtinais to Philip I of France to placate the king. Much of Fulk's rule was devoted to regaining control over the Angevin baronage, and to a complex struggle with Normandy for influence in Maine and Brittany. In 1096 Fulk wrote an incomplete history of Anjou and its rulers, though the authorship and authenticity of this work is disputed. If he did write it, it is one of the first medieval works of history written by a layman. Fulk may have married as many as five times; there is some doubt regarding two of the marriages. His first wife was Ermengarde de Beaugency. After her death he married Ermengarde de Borbon, and then possibly Ermengarde de Châtellailon. Both these were repudiated, possibly on grounds of consanguinity. Next he married Bertrade de Montfort, who apparently left him for Philip I of France. Finally, he may have married a daughter of Walter of Brienne. He had two sons. The eldest (a son of Ermengarde de Borbon), Geoffrey Martel II, ruled jointly with his father for some time, but died in 1106. The younger (a son of Bertrade de Montfort) succeeded as Fulk V. He also had a daughter, Ermengarde, who married William VII the Young, count of Poitou and duke of Aquitaine. Source: Wikipedia

Fulk
D'Anjou

Fulk III (972-1040), called Nerra (that is, le Noir, "the Black") after his death, was count of Anjou from 987 to 1040. He was the son of Geoffrey Greymantle and Adelaide of Vermandois. He was the founder of the Angevin dynasty. He had a violent nature and performed both cruelties and acts of penitence; he made four pilgrimages to the Holy Land. In probably his most notorious act, Fulk Nerra had his first wife (and cousin) Élisabeth de Vendôme burned to death at the stake in her wedding dress, after discovering her with a goatherd in December 999. Erdoes says of him: "Fulk of Anjou, plunderer, murderer, robber, and swearer of false oaths, a truly terrifying character of fiendish cruelty, founded not one but two large abbeys. This Fulk was filled with unbridled passion, a temper directed to extremes. Whenever he had the slightest difference with a neighbor he rushed upon his lands, ravaging, pillaging, raping, and killing; nothing could stop him, least of all the commandments of God." He fought against the claims of the counts of Rennes, defeating and killing Conan I of Rennes at the Battle of Conquereuil in 992. He then extended his power over the County of Maine and the Touraine. All of his enterprises came up against the no less violent ambition of the Odo II of Blois, against whom he made an alliance with the Capetians. In 1025, after capturing and burning the city of Saumur, Fulk reportedly cried, "Saint Florentius, let yourself be burned. I will build you a better home in Angers." But when the transportation of the saint's relics to Angers proved difficult, Fulk declared that Florentius was a rustic lout unfit for the city, and sent the relics back to Saumur. Fulk also commissioned many buildings. From 987 to 1040, while he was count of Anjou and fighting against the Bretons and Blois, protecting his territory from Vendôme to Angers and from Angers to Montrichard, he had more than a hundred castles, donjons, and abbeys constructed. These numerous pious foundations, however, followed his many acts of violence against the church. Fulk died in 1040 in Metz. Source: Wikipedia --- Medieval Sourcebook: Chronicle of the Counts of Anjou, c. 1100 Of Fulk Nerra Fulk Nerra ... a youth of no modest build, began to defend the consulate vigorously from its many enemies. New wars were always emerging out of nowhere against the new prince. At the admonition of that most evil Landric, Odo of Champagne and Gelduin of Saumur tried to expel Fulk from Tours, thinking they could wrest Amboise and Loches from the count. The opportunities of the present time suggested this plan to them, for the treasurer Supplicius, his brother newly dead, ruled Amboise by himself, responsible only to the consul. Nor did this wise hero [Fulk] delay in hastening to expose himself to danger and to punish the enemy. When he had gathered as much of an army as he could, he boldly entered the land of his enemies, and, going beyond Blois, he arrived at Chateaudun. The inhabitants of the castle, girt with the knightly belt and protected by armor, began to prepare themselves like a garrison; gathering together quickly they assaulted the consul and his men. The Angevins held off their frequent charges until evening. When they tried to withdraw they were unable to fend off the enemy's rushes, since the men of Chateaudun were pressing at the backs of those who were trying to flee. The consul's men, since they could no longer sustain the battle nor put the others to flight, gathered together and tried to go back and fight. The men of Amboise had been sent ahead, and the Angevins now completely surrounded them and defeated them. The men of Chateaudun now were taken by fear and, scattering, tried to flee. The count, fighting in his own castle put them to flight. Many of the commoners were captured, while others were put to the sword. They rested there for the night, holding twenty knights captive, tied up with the rest of the prisoners, under guard. The next day they plundered the land and did great harm to its serfs. Having experienced the joy of victory, they returned to Amboise on the third day. At Amboise the consul besieged the house of Landric; his men gathered and beset the house so fiercely that they forced those in the house to give up all hope of resistance. Knowing they could not resist, and knowing they could not evade the punishments and death they deserved if captured, they began to negotiate via messengers: they would give up the house, if the count spared their lives. When counsel had been taken, it seemed good to all that so great a danger be removed without any risk to the besiegers. So life was granted to them and the house, once it had been handed over, was completely destroyed. Landric and his men were expelled from the castle. From there the count, crossing the Loire, stopped at a house he hasd secured, once called Caramantus, now Villa Moranni. >From there he entered Valeia, going through Semblenchiacum, which he had also secured for himself, and through the land of his vassal and friend Hugh of Alvia, who was said to be lord of the castle called Castellum and also of St.-Christophe; finally he descended into Anjou, to the displeasure of the citizens of Tours. Fulk took Mirebeau and Loudun, as well as Chinon, which belonged to Odo, as well as Saumur and Monsorellum; from there he made war on the men of L'Isle-Bouchard, and returned to Loches through the land of Guenon, which belonged to lord Noaster. Then count Fulk, having finished his business, installed a warlike man, exceptionally skilled at arms, Lisois of Basogerio (Baugé?), nephew of the viscount of St.-Susanne, at Loches and Amboise, and ordered the knights, greater and lesser alike, to obey him. This man [Lisois] had brothers, kinsmen and many relations, all of whom stayed with him of their own will. For whoever, as Boethius says, "leaves an established rank, will not have a happy end."[16] Conan, count of Brittany, wanting to exceed the bounds of his consulate,[17] scorned Fulk and, trusting in the strength of his four sons, did not cease to ravage the borders of Anjou. There was a river, the Mayenne, not last among the rivers of the west, which washed Anjou with its gentle waters, which a bridge of stone embraced, ready to suffer the waters of winter.[18] Conan and his sons wanted their consulate to extend to this river. When Conan realized that Fulk had left Anjou, he himself went to the royal court at Orléans; meanwhile he ordered his sons to hurry to Anjou and search out milder lands. When his sons heard that Fulk was absent they were overjoyed, sure they would prevail over the Angevins, whom they thought were few and unarmed. While the consuls awaited the king at Orléans, Fulk withdrew into a house to relieve himself. Conan came into the main chamber of the house, so that Fulk was separated from him only by the width of a wall, and told his men that in four days his sons would be at the gates of Angers, destroying all before them. When the count had heard this he rushed off to their aid, pretending he was going to the castle of Landonense, and rode night and day, changing horses often; he ordered those of his men whom he met on the way to follow him. At evening of the second day he entered Anjou secretly, and gathered together many knights and footmen outside the city. On the appointed day the Bretons rushed impetuously up to the gates of the city. Fulk and his men rushed swiftly down on them from hiding; they killed some, and chased after the others, whom they had put to flight. For when they [the Bretons] realized the consul had returned, the enemy no longer had the courage to resist. In this manner, being dispersed, each fled as quickly as he could. Two of Conan's sons died in the battle, and innumerable footsoldiers; the other two sons were captured, along with many knights, barons and footsoldiers. Fulk returned at once to the royal court, and, on the day the king arrived, he and one of his knights, riding the dappled horse of Alan, Conan's eldest son, dismounted before the king's hall. The Bretons asked where the horse had been gotten: the truth was made known, and announced to Conan. Then Conan bewailed his fate and wept before the king, and sought peace from the bishops; with the intervention of king Robert, and Richard duke of the Normans (who was married to Conan's daughter Judith), peace was made. Conan's eldest son Alan was redeemed, together with his brother. All the captives were freed after the payment of a fit price, and Fulk possessed in peace the consulate of the land over the Mayenne. By his wife Fulk fathered Geoffrey Martel and a daughter called Adela. Fulk, a God-fearing man, went to Rome on a pilgrimage, and, having accepted with blessings a papal letter, set out again for Jerusalem, which at that time the Gentiles held. When he got to Constantinople he met Robert duke of Normandy, who was making one and the same journey. Now Richard, duke of Normandy, had two sons by Judith, daughter of Conan count of Brittany, named Richard and Robert. Richard, the eldest, was poisoned by his brother Robert. Robert, to make satisfaction to God for this crime, set off barefoot on this journey in the seventh year of his dukedom. Before this event Robert had fathered William, the worthy man who acquired England, by a concubine. When Fulk had found Robert and joined up with him, he handed the papal letter over to the emperor. These two were then led at the emperor's order through the lands of the Saracens by the men of Antioch, who had been present there by chance and joined them. Robert died while traveling through Bithynia. Fulk came to Jerusalem under a safe-conduct. He was unable to enter the city gate, where pilgrims were vigorously urged to give up their money to gain entry. When he had paid the fee both for himself and for other Christians who were lingering in the area of the gate, unable to enter, he and these others went swiftly into the city; but the cloisters of the tombs were also closed to them. For [the Saracens], knowing him to be a man of quick temper, mocked him, and said he would never get to the tomb he wanted to see unless he were to urinate upon it and upon the holy cross. The prudent man, though unwilling, agreed to this. A ram's bladder was found, cleaned and washed and filled with the best wine and then placed between the count's thighs. Shoeless, he approached the Lord's Sepulchre, and let the wine flow forth upon it; he freely entered the tomb with his companions, and prayed there with an outpouring of many tears. Soon, when the hard stone had grown soft, he sensed the divine power, and, kissing the tomb he was able to tear out a piece of it with his teeth and hide it; unbeknownst to the gentiles, he took it away with him. Fulk, giving large gifts to the poor, was worthy of receiving a piece of the Lord's cross from the Syrians who were guarding the tomb. Returning then to Loches [i.e. in France], he built a church to the honor of the Lord's Sepulchre beyond the river A., namely at Beaulieu, and installed monks and an abbot there. At Amboise, in the church of the virgin Mary, he placed a piece of the True Cross and a pair of thongs with which Christ's hands were bound. In that church, in Fulk's time, the body of the blessed Florentinus, which had been brought from the countryside of Poitou, was placed. There he installed canons, as well as Supplicius, the treasurer of St. Martin. Men at that time were complaining about Odo of Champagne, Gelduin of Saumur and Geoffrey the young, lord of St.-Aignan, who had afflicted Fulk's land and men with many insolences during the year and a half Fulk spent abroad. Gelduin, in fact, had fortified the court of St.-Pierre of Pontlevoy as though it were his own property; there were not yet monks there. Fulk, though, went and built a fortress called Montrichard on a mountain near the river Cher, which was part of the personal estate of Gelduin and the fief of the archbishop of Tours, once the towns of Reabblus Nobilis and Nanteuil (?), which lay between Montrichard and the river, had been destroyed; both towns were part of Gelduin's fief. He set up Roger Diaboler, lord of Montresor, as guardian of Montrichard. Meanwhile Odo had gathered a great host of knights and footsoldiers in Blois to destroy Montrichard. When Fulk heard this he took his best knights and footsoldiers, joined up and allied with Herbert, consul of Le Mans, and went out to meet Odo. Odo, as was his way, trusted in the great numbers of his troops, and so crossed the Brenne River. Fulk, leaving Amboise, came to a place near Pontlevoy. Herbert rode up to the bank of the Cher and made camp there. What more is there to say? Odo, thunderstruck, stood with his heart frozen, not believing the Angevins would dare to fight with him. To his men he said briefly: "Pour out all your strength; let each one who wishes to see his homeland and his dear kinsmen, his offspring and his chambers and his abandoned goods, look to his sword ..."[19] Battle was joined. Fulk and his men were hard pressed; Fulk, falling from his horse, was heavily struck. The men of Blois had almost attained the victory, and would have if a messenger had not gone straight to Herbert and warned him that Fulk had been beaten and captured. After this rumor had run through the whole army count Herbert, an extremely fierce warrior, flew with his fellow warriors to the battlefield. There were some unexpected friends whom he had summoned, who were keeping the enemy busy on the left wing. For a long time the Angevins bore up under the blows of battle; it pleased Christ to confer strength on them, and riddle their enemies with confusion. Odo's knights could not withstand the ferocious blows of the men of Le Mans and Anjou, and were put to flight, leaving their footsoldiers in the camps to be slaughtered. When the Angevins had dismembered these men at will, they pursued the fugitives as far as they were able or dared, striking down all the knights whom they could catch. When about six thousand had been killed or captured, the remainder escaped, each one going where he could. When the enemy had been put to flight and slaughtered, the victors proceeded to despoil their castles, collected the best of the plunder and returned to Amboise, enriched by the number and ransom of their captives. The following year, when Odo of Champagne was being attacked by the duke of Lotharingia, Fulk, that modest and prudent man, built a fortress at Montboyau to put pressure on the city of Tours, which he greatly desired to possess. Odo on the other hand soon besieged this fort, bringing with him a great multitude, drawn from different peoples [gentes], with Gelduin of Saumur rushing up with all of his men as well. Fulk likewise got together as many men as he could in Valeia and, taking some good advice, since he neither dared nor was able to fight, crossed the Loire and rode the whole night; he found Saumur empty of defenders and entered it at the crack of dawn, taking the whole town up to the fortress itself. Those within the fortress had no hope for relief, no place to flee to, only the indignity of surrender. They knew the Angevin race was fierce and warlike, and that they would not give up something they had undertaken until they had gained everything they wished for. They knew further that they were utterly without mercy. Therefore they made satisfaction to the consul under the law of surrender. They said: "You must let us leave the fortress unharmed, protect us from those butchers, and let us serve you and remain alive." When he had heard this the count accepted them with the honor of liberty, and honored them with a great festival. When it became known that he had done this and that he had joined the freed men to himself, this induced others to surrender as well. When the fortress was taken and its attendants sent away, he ordered that watchful men be found to guard the castle.[20] Fulk, having gained Saumur as he had wished, later got ready to go, and went over to near Chinon, crossing the Vienne between Noaster and L'Isle Bouchard on a bridge made of boats, and besieged Montbazon. Odo withdrew from the siege of Montboyau and set his path toward Fulk's army. The clever Fulk, abandoning the siege, withdrew to Loches and made camp in a field. So each one rested, having sent his army home. When Odo was at Blois, his messenger told him that Germans, with the duke of Lotharingia, had besieged Bar-sur-l'Aube. Hastening home, Odo pursued the Germans, who had already come up into Lotharingia. He fought with them and, though gravely wounded, came out the victor; but he died on the battlefield not long after, and his son Thibaut succeeded to his lands [1037]. Menawhile Fulk besieged and captured Montbazon, and handed it to Guillaume de Mirebeau to guard. Arraud of Breteuil (?) and other traitors handed over their lord Geoffrey, prince of St.-Aignan, to Fulk; later, when Fulk was absent, the same man was strangled in prison in Loches by his betrayers. The count then gave to his seneschal Lisois as a wife the niece of Supplicius the treasurer(to whom he had given the fortress of Amboise with all its lands) and also gave him Virnullium and Maureacum and the "vicarage" of Champagne. Thus, retaining his lands, he passed them on to his son [Geoffrey] Martel. The land was quiet and in peace then up to the death of Fulk, who in truth did not live much longer [d. 1040]. The Plantagenet Chronicles Fulk Nerra or Fulk the Black is the Count in the family of Anjou, of whom legend decrees married Melusine, the daughter of Satan. From "The Crowned Lions" page 21, Geoffrey Plantagenet was not royal, but the ruling family of Anjou claimed an ancestry more awesome than that of any human royalty. The Angevins believed that they were descended from Melusine, the daughter of Satan. The family legend was that one of the earlier Counts of Anjou, Fulk Nerra or Fulk the Black, had gone on a journey and returned from his unknown destination with a wife of surpassing beauty. The Countess Melusine bore her husband four children, and made him an admirable consort in every way but one: in an age of piety she seldom attended Mass, and whenever she did so, she made sure to leave before the consecration of the bread and wine. This was highly suspect behaviour, and at last Fulk reluctanly ordered four of his knights to hold Melusine in her place the next time she attempted to leave Mass. The result was dramatic: the knights obeyed their lord, but Melusine tore herself free of them and flew out the window of the church, carrying two of her children away with her. So her identity was revealed, for no devil can endure to look upon the conserated Body and Blood of Christ. However, in her escape, Melusine had left two children behind, to provide a human link between the house of Anjou and Hell itself. The most unfortunate consequence of this legend was that the Angevins believed that any violent acts which they chose to commit were the inevintable consequences of being descendants of the Devil: hysterical rages, atrocities perpetrated in blind fury, sexual excesses, all were inescapable legacies from Satan."

Robert I (c. 865 - June 15, 923), king of France, or king of the Franks, was the younger son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, or Eudes, who became king of the western Franks in 888. Appointed by Odo ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys, Robert also secured the office of duke of the Franks, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of France when his brother died in 898; but recognizing the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles III, the Simple, he was confirmed in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern France from the attacks of the Normans. The peace between the king and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921. The rule of Charles, and especially his partiality for a certain Hagano, had aroused some irritation; and, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles into Lorraine, and was himself crowned king of the Franks at Reims on June 29 922. Collecting an army, Charles marched against the usurper, and on June 15 923, in a stubborn and sanguinary battle near Soissons, Robert was killed, according to one tradition in single combat with his rival. Robert left a son, Hugh the Great, duke of the Franks, and his grandson was Hugh Capet, king of France.

Joseph
of
Aramathea
joseph of arimathea and the legend of glastonbury One of the most charismatic episodes of Christian legend and history concerns Joseph of Arimathea and his claimed founding of the first church upon British soil. Britain had been well known to seafarers of the Mediterranean, and the island is mentioned in a Greek document circa 600 BC. It is believed that the Isles of Scilly provided harbour for ships after rounding Spain towards Britain, and a host of flora found otherwise only in the Meditteranean has been found flourishing there. The tin mines of Cornwall, on the south-west coast of England were well known to the ancients, producing vast amounts over thousands of years, the Cornish deposits being so rich that the mines only eventually closed during the twentieth century. The uncle of Jesus by the maternal line, Joseph of Arimathea was a member of the Sanhedrin, and who was responsible by bond of law for the burial of Jesus after his crucifixion. Afterwards, however, Joseph of Arimathea is held to have departed Palestine under persecution from both unsettled Jews and ever more oppressive Romans, taking the gospel to the furthest lands of the earth as commanded, which in ancient times meant Britain. According to legend, Joseph of Arimathea had a financial stake in the Cornish tin mines, and may even have taken his nephew Jesus there on his merchant travels during the boyhood of Jesus. However, after the crucifixion, Joseph of Arimathea traveled to Britain one last time, to preach and even settle Apparently in the company of Lazarus, Mary Magdelene, and the disciple of Jesus named Phillip, the group sailed from Palestine to Marseilles, where Lazarus & Mary stayed, while the others travelled on. At the English Channel, St.Philip sent Joseph, with twelve disciples, to establish Christianity in the most far-flung corner of not only the Roman Empire, but also the perceived world. English legend has it that Joseph sailed around Land's End and headed for what was to eventually become Glastonbury in Somerset. Here his boat ran ashore and, together with his followers, he climbed a nearby hill to survey the surrounding land. Having brought with him a staff grown from Christ's Holy Crown of Thorns, he thrust it into the ground where it immediately took miraculous root, and it can be seen there still on Wearyall Hill, where it blossoms every Christmas. Joseph met with the local ruler and soon secured himself twelve hides of land at Glastonbury on which to build the first place of Christian worship in Britain, a wattle church named the Vetusta Ecclesia, that Joseph declared should always be attended by twelve followers. Joseph of Arimathea is supposedly buried upon Glastonbury Tor, the name of the hill upon which the church was built. According to legend, two vials, containing Jesus' sweat and blood, can also be found there, as well as the final resting place of the Holy Grail. http://www.comparative-religion.com/articles/joseph_of_arimathea.php

Joseph of Arimathea was not only a disciple of Jesus, he was also his great-uncle, the uncle of his mother, Mary. He was a wealthy merchant with many trading ships. It is said that after the Resurrection, Joseph brought Mary Magdalene to Gaul in one of his ships, and continued on to Britain. There he settled at Glastonbury, and is said to have owned land on one of the islands off the coast of Britain. Joseph of Arimathaea, according to all four Gospels of the New Testament, a rich Jew of Arimathaea, probably a member of the Sanhedrin, the ancient Jewish court in Jerusalem, who after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, requested the body from the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate and placed it in his own tomb. According to some ancient writers he was later the founder of Christianity in Britain and of a monastery at Glastonbury; scholars, however, reject these claims. In the Arthurian cycle of romances and in late medieval legend he brings the Holy Grail into Britain. There is no known Biblical connection to show his genealogical connection to this family as of this date. ---------------------------------------- REF: "Britannia Internet Magazine": Joseph of Arimathea was a wealthy disciple of Jesus, who, according to the book of Matthew 27:57-60, asked Pontius Pilate for permission to take Jesus' dead body in order to prepare it for burial. He also provided the tomb where the crucified Lord was laid until his Resurrection. Joseph is mentioned in a few times in parallel passages in Mark, Luke and John, but nothing further is heard about his later activities. Legend, however, supplies us with the rest of his story by claiming that Joseph, accompanying the Apostle Philip on a preaching mission to Gaul, was sent to Britain for the purpose of converting the island to Christianity. The year 63 AD is commonly given for this "event", with 37 AD sometimes being put forth as an alternative. It was said that Joseph achieved his wealth in the metals trade, and in the course of conducting his business, he probably became acquainted with Britain, at least the southwestern parts of it. Cornwall was a chief mining district and well-known in the Roman empire for its tin and other metals. Some have even said that Joseph was the uncle of Jesus, and that he may have brought the young boy along on one of his business trips to the island. It was only natural, then, that Joseph should have been chosen for the first mission to Britain, and appropriate that he should come first to Glastonbury, that gravitational center for legendary activity in the West Country. Much more was added to Joseph's legend during the middle ages, and he was gradually inflated into a major saint and cult hero. For example, he is said to have brought with him either a cup, said to have been used at the Last Supper and also used to catch the blood dripping from Christ as he hung on the Cross. A variation of this story is that Joseph brought with him two cruets, one containing the blood and the other, the sweat of Christ. Either of these items are known as The Holy Grail, and were the object(s) of the quests of the Knights of King Arthur's Round Table. The legend goes on to suggest that Joseph hid the "Grail" in Chalice Well at Glastonbury for safe-keeping. There is a wide variance of scholarly opinion on this subject, however, and a good deal of doubt exists as to whether Joseph ever came to Britain at all, for any purpose. ....................................................................... Joseph of Arimathea was a wealthy disciple of Jesus, who, according to the book of Matthew 27:57-60, asked Pontius Pilate for permission to take Jesus' dead body in order to prepare it for burial. He also provided the tomb where the crucified Lord was laid until his Resurrection. Joseph is mentioned in a few times in parallel passages in Mark, Luke and John, but nothing further is heard about his later activities. Apocryphal legend, however, supplies us with the rest of his story by claiming that Joseph accompanied the Apostle Philip, Lazarus, Mary Magdalene & others on a preaching mission to Gaul. Lazarus & Mary stayed in Marseilles, while the others travelled north. At the English Channel, St. Philip sent Joseph, with twelve disciples, to establish Christianity in the most far-flung corner of the Roman Empire: the Island of Britain. The year AD 63 is commonly given for this "event", with AD 37 sometimes being put forth as an alternative. It was said that Joseph achieved his wealth in the metals trade, and in the course of conducting his business, he probably became acquainted with Britain, at least the south-western parts of it. Cornwall was a chief mining district and well-known in the Roman empire for its tin. Somerset was reknowned for its high quality lead. Some have even said that Joseph was the uncle of the Virgin Mary and therefore of Jesus, and that he may have brought the young boy along on one of his business trips to the island. Hence the words of Blake's famous hymn, Jerusalem: And did those feet, in ancient time, Walk upon England's mountains green? It was only natural, then, that Joseph should have been chosen for the first mission to Britain, and appropriate that he should come first to Glastonbury, that gravitational center for legendary activity in the West Country. Local legend has it that Joseph sailed around Land's End and headed for his old lead mining haunts. Here his boat ran ashore in the Glastonbury Marshes and, together with his followers, he climbed a nearby hill to survey the surrounding land. Having brought with him a staff grown from Christ's Holy Crown of Thorns, he thrust it into the ground and announced that he and his twelve companions were "Weary All". The thorn staff immediately took miraculous root, and it can be seen there still on Wearyall Hill. Joseph met with the local ruler, Arviragus, and soon secured himself twelve hides of land at Glastonbury on which to build the first monastery in Britain. From here he became the country's evangelist. Much more was added to Joseph's legend during the Middle Ages. He was gradually inflated into a major saint and cult hero, as well as the supposed ancestor of many British monarchs. He is said to have brought with him to Britain a cup, said to have been used at the Last Supper and also used to catch the blood dripping from Christ as he hung on the Cross. A variation of this story is that Joseph brought with him two cruets, one containing the blood and the other, the sweat of Christ. Either of these items are known as The Holy Grail, and were the object(s) of the quests of the Knights of King Arthur's Round Table. One legend goes on to suggest that Joseph hid the "Grail" in Chalice Well at Glastonbury for safe-keeping (Photo) There is a wide variance of scholarly opinion on this subject, however, and a good deal of doubt exists as to whether Joseph ever came to Britain at all, for any purpose. ----------------------------- Joseph of Arimathea All that is known for certain concerning him is derived from the canonical Gospels. He was born at Arimathea -- hence his surname -- "a city of Judea" (Luke, xxiii, 51), which is very likely identical with Ramatha, the birthplace of the Prophet Samuel, although several scholars prefer to identify it with the town of Ramleh. He was a wealthy Israelite (Matt., xxvii, 57), "a good and a just man" (Luke, xxiii, 50), "who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God" (Mark, xv, 43). He is also called by St. Mark and by St. Luke a bouleutes, literally, "a senator", whereby is meant a member of the Sanhedrin or supreme council of the Jews. He was a disciple of Jesus, probably ever since Christ's first preaching in Judea (John, ii, 23), but he did not declare himself as such "for fear of the Jews" (John, xix, 38). On account of this secret allegiance to Jesus, he did not consent to His condemnation by the Sanhedrin (Luke, xxiii, 51), and was most likely absent from the meeting which sentenced Jesus to death (cf. Mark, xiv, 64). The Crucifixion of the Master quickened Joseph's faith and love, and suggested to him that he should provide for Christ's burial before the Sabbath began. Unmindful therefore of all personal danger, a danger which was indeed considerable under the circumstances, he boldly requested from Pilate the Body of Jesus, and was successful in his request (Mark, xv, 43-45). Once in possession of this sacred treasure, he -- together with Nicodemus, whom his courage had likewise emboldened, and who brought abundant spices -- wrapped up Christ's Body in fine linen and grave bands, laid it in his own tomb, new and yet unused, and hewn out of a rock in a neighbouring garden, and withdrew after rolling a great stone to the opening of the sepulchre (Matt., xxvii, 59, 60; Mark, xv, 46; Luke, xxiii, 53; John, xix, 38-42). Thus was fulfilled Isaiah's prediction that the grave of the Messias would be with a rich man (Is., liii, 9). The Greek Church celebrates the feast of Joseph of Arimathea on 31 July, and the Roman Church on 17 March. The additional details which are found concerning him in the apocryphal "Acta Pilati", are unworthy of credence. Likewise fabulous is the legend which tells of his coming to Gaul A.D. 63, and thence to Great Britain, where he is supposed to have founded the earliest Christian oratory at Glastonbury. Finally, the story of the translation of the body of Joseph of Arimathea from Jerusalem to Moyenmonstre (Diocese of Toul) originated late and is unreliable. FRANCIS E.
