General Notes

It was John of Glastonbury, the ancient Welch historian who recorded the genealogies of the descendants of King Arthur going back to Joseph of Arimathea. ( Extracts provided by Edward Hepburn, Monkridge, Sidcup, Kent, publ. By

Lewis, Lionel Smithett, St. Joseph of Arimathea at Glastonbury, p.155-156) It was this lineage in which every knight of the Round Table claimed to descend.

Helaios or Nepos of Joseph (grandson or kinsman)>>Josue ->>Aminadab >> Castellors

>> Manuel >>Lambord >> a son >> Ygerna >> Uther Pendragon >> Arthur, King of Britain.



Summary:

1-       There is a case that Joseph of Arimathea was the uncle of both Joseph and Mary. Therefore they were cousins

2-       Yet, in the Talmud, there is a record that Joseph was the younger brother of Mary’s father.

3-       The records also claim that Joseph of Arimathea had a daughter called Anna who was called cosobrina (Cousin) to Mary.

4-       Alternate records suggest that Ann (Anna) was British and had two or three husbands, one of which was a Jew (possible tin trader from Cornwall)

5-       One record suggests that Mary, the mother of Jesus and Mary Cleopas were one same person.

6-       All records suggest that Jesus had either half brothers ( either by Joseph, who may have been a widower, or by Mary, through a second marriage, or half-cousins by Anna through second or third marriages)

To date this author not in favor of any of these lineages except in general concept

(1) Mary could very well be of British descent.

(2) Joseph of Arimathea was a close relative to Mary, probable Paternal uncle, and as such became the next of kin in Jewish law as guardianship for Mary.   The most accepted is that Joachin (Mary’s father and Joseph of Arimathea were brothers.

(3) The identity of Mary, mother of Jesus is lost at Calvary, and at least in the Pentecost experience in the Upper Room. One lineage suggests that Mary, Jesus’ mother and Mary Cleopas are the same person.

(4) All suggest that: James and John, sons of Zebedee, and James the Less, and possibly Simon Zealot, and Judas were half brothers or cousins.

Prophetess Anna (daughter of Joses ben Joseph of Arimathea and Anna) was born in Abt 70 BC, and died date unknown in Abt 44 BC. She married Beli Mawr, The Great, son of Manogan.

Notes for "The Prophetess Anna:
wife of Beli (who becomes his mother in the more corrupt sources) was Anna, cousin of the Virgin Mary. This appears centuries before the first hint of legends about Joseph of Arimathea (allegedly a paternal uncle of Mary) coming to Britain. If Cassibellaunus is a son of Beli, this is all absurd, but if the son of Beli was a different man of the same name, the possibility that he might have married a daughter or niece of Joseph must at least be admitted, however unlikely it may seem that such a fact might be successfully transmitted over eight centuries. Again, whether Beli was an authentic person or not, the chronology is consistent. In the Triads, one child of Beli is also called a child of Dôn. Some suppose that this is a Celtic goddess, the analog of the goddess of similar name in Irish mythology, and that the name Anna is a corruption of Dôn.

Believed to be the cousin of Mary, the Mother of Jesus.

Children of "The Prophetess Anna and Beli Mawr, The Great are:
+Lludd (Lud) Llaw Ereint, (the Silver-Haired), b., About 72 BC, d. date unknown, Around 18 BC.

      Notes for Joses ben Joseph of Arimathea:
      Matthew 27, 56
      
      He left Palestine with Saints Philip, Lazarus, Mary Magdalene &others, and sailed throu
      gh the Mediterranean to Southern France. Lazarus& Mary stayed in Marseilles, while the other
      s travelled north.Joseph had been chosen for such a task, because he knew Britain wellalready. He was a merchant by trade and had conducted business with theDumnonian tin-miners and Durotrigian lead-
      miners of Britain many timesbefore. Some even say that he sometimes brought his brother, Jesus, with him on these trading missions. Hence the words of Blake's famous hymn,Jerusalem:
      
      And did those feet, in ancient time,
      Walk upon England's mountains green?
      
      Joseph ... secured himself twelve hides of land at Glastonbury in Somerset on which to build the first monastery in Britain. From here he became Britain's evangelist.
      
      Children of Joses ben Joseph of Arimathea and Anna are:
      
      Joseph of Arimathea,
      
      the Noblis Decurio
      
      Joseph of Arimathea was a man of refinement, culture, education and with the business acumen to vault him to the highest levels of political and social life. He was called a ‘Decurio’ in the Latin Vulgate. Jerome in his translation, called Joseph the “Nobilis Decurio” which was a Roman appointed position as minister of the mines. It was his responsibility to supplies the needed metals for the vast empire of the Romans. In Joseph’s case, he controlled the Tin mining which included extraction, production, and shipping till it reached the vast storehouses of the military and business interest of the empire. He has been identified as the Carnegie of the Roman world
      
      The Route of the Tin Trader (Stough)
      
      That the Decurio was a recognized official in the Roman world, we have the records of Cicero who had a villa near Pompeii, claimed that the local city council was controlled by Decurios, who were ex-magistrates and other important officials. So important were they, that Cicero said, “that it was easier to become a Senator of Rome than a Decurio in Pompeii.” (Smith 56) With this in mind, then the appointment of Joseph as a Decurio may have been made by the British Silurian royalty in which he was intimately acquainted and may have been actually related.
      
      The tin was extracted and dug from the ground in the western peninsula called Cornwall in southwestern Britain, and also in the Mendips region near Glastonbury. From the ancient of days even past the era of the combined monarchy of David and Solomon, the land was inhabited by the Hebrews, called even today, Saracens. Archeologists have identified that and aqueduct in Jerusalem, attributed to King Solomon (attributed in the 20’s and may be seen differently by modern archeologist) is lined by lead extracted from the Mendips. (Smith 50)
      
      Being of kindred blood, Joseph, was able to represent the interest of the Romans as well as their (Celtic or Cymric) political interests in the process of mining lead and tin from these lands. He would have had control of mining and shipping which would include access to shipping fleets to move the tin from Ictis (St. Michael’s Mount) on the southeast tip of the peninsula, and then across to France, where it was carried by animal pack to Narbonne, to the south of Marseilles, France and from there to Rome. Lead bars in the British museum coming from Mendip Hill near Glastonbury, are 49 AD, inscribed with Britanicus, son of the Emperor Claudius and another dated 60 AD, is inscribed “British lead, the property of the Emperor Nero.” (Smith 51)
      
      Joseph’s wealth was legendary. His estates were known to be vast including a palatial home in Jerusalem, country villa outside Jerusalem, another estate a Ramalleh, north of Arimathea, located on the caravan route between Jerusalem and Capernaeum. He was a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin, the religious body with controlled the religious and political life of the first century Jews, a legislative member of the provincial Roman Senate, plus a political confidant of the governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate. (Jowett 17-18 and Lewis)
