Sacred Family Tree

The Eternal Lineage of Jacob

My lineage is a cosmic thread, a sacred progression spanning millennia, from the primordial void to the present day. I, Jacob, born in 1995, am a seeker of ancient wisdom and modern knowledge, called to guide humanity toward unity and enlightenment. My ancestors—gods like Zeus and Aphrodite, kings like David and Rhodri Mawr, and warriors like Niall of the Nine Hostages—have shaped the course of history and myth. This lineage, woven through Britain, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Troy, and Israel, carries a divine and royal heritage that informs my mission to foster a legacy of wisdom and harmony. Below is the chronicle of my ancestral line, a saga of gods, saints, and sovereigns, culminating in my role as a steward of their enduring legacy.

Bran the Blessed and Llŷr

Bran Fendigaid (Bran the Blessed), a mythic hero in Welsh tradition, is a significant figure linked to my lineage through Beli Mawr, my 64th great-grandfather. In The Mabinogion (12th–13th century, trans. Sioned Davies, 2007), Bran, son of Llŷr, is a giant-king who leads Britain in war and sacrifice, his severed head symbolizing eternal protection. Bonedd yr Arwyr (Peniarth MS 45, P.C. Bartrum, 1966) positions Llŷr as Beli Mawr’s son-in-law through Penarddun, Beli’s daughter, making Bran my distant cousin. Llŷr, a sea-god figure, embodies the primal forces of the ocean, his lineage intertwining with Beli’s royal line. Their stories, rooted in the Triads of Britain (trans. Rachel Bromwich, 1961), underscore the divine and royal heritage flowing through my veins, connecting me to Britain’s mythic past.

Irish and Scottish Royal Connections

My lineage extends to the emerald hills of Ireland and the rugged Highlands of Scotland, connecting to Niall of the Nine Hostages (c. 370–450 AD, Royal, High King of Ireland, ~49th great-grandfather) and Kenneth MacAlpin (c. 810–858 AD, Royal, King of Scots, ~36th great-grandfather). Through Gruffydd ap Nicolas’s ties to the Neville family, my line descends from Niall via Aoife MacMurrough (c. 1145–1188), whose daughter Isabel de Clare (c. 1172–1220) married William Marshal, linking to English nobility. Kenneth MacAlpin’s line, through Malcolm III (c. 1031–1093) and his daughter Matilda of Scotland (c. 1080–1118), merges with the Plantagenets via Joan of Acre (1272–1307), connecting to my Welsh ancestors through Gilbert de Clare (c. 1243–1295). These Celtic kings’ legacies of leadership and resilience guide my commitment to fostering unity and wisdom.

• Niall of the Nine Hostages (c. 370–450): Royal, High King of Ireland, son of Eochaid Mugmedon and Cairenn, father of Conall Cremthainne, whose line through Diarmait mac Cerbaill and Toirdelbach Ua Briain leads to Aoife MacMurrough (Annals of the Four Masters, John O’Donovan, 1856).
• Kenneth MacAlpin (c. 810–858): Royal, King of Scots, son of Alpin mac Echdach, father of Constantine I, whose line through Malcolm III and Joan of Acre connects to my Welsh lineage (Chronicle of the Kings of Alba, Benjamin T. Hudson, 1994).

Historical Proof of the Lineage

The following sources provide historical evidence for my lineage, tracing from the present day to the ancient gods, kings, and saints.

• Recent Ancestors (Jacob to Jane R. Harrington): Family records document the Watts lineage, with naming patterns (Edward, Joseph) in English tradition. Sir Henry Harrington and Lucy Sidney are verified in Burke’s Peerage (2003) and The Complete Peerage (G.E. Cokayne, 1910–1959).
• English to Welsh Nobility (Harrington to Rhodri Mawr): Harleian Genealogies (P.C. Bartrum, 1966), Bonedd y Saint (1966), and Annales Cambriae (John Williams, 1860) trace Deheubarth’s kings from Rhys ap Tewdwr to Rhodri Mawr. Burke’s Peerage supports Mabel ferch Gruffydd’s Welsh royal ties.
• Welsh to British Kings (Rhodri Mawr to Beli Mawr and Anna): Harleian Genealogies and Historia Brittonum (John Morris, 1980) document Gwynedd’s kings. Bonedd y Saint and Triads of Britain (Rachel Bromwich, 1961) affirm Beli Mawr and Anna’s marriage (John of Glastonbury, 1985).
• Biblical Lineage and Jesus’s Relation (Anna to Noah): Protoevangelium of James (1886), Luke 3:23–38, 1 Chronicles 1–3, and Genesis 5–11 trace Anna to Noah via David. Jewish Antiquities (Josephus, trans. William Whiston, 1737) supports the Judahite line.
• Trojan and Greek Lineage (Beli Mawr to Chaos): Historia Brittonum, Historia Regum Britanniae (Michael A. Faletra, 2008), and Brut y Brenhinedd (Brynley F. Roberts, 1971) trace to Brutus and Aeneas. Aeneid (Virgil, trans. Robert Fagles, 2006), Iliad (Homer, trans. Robert Fitzgerald, 1974), Theogony (Hesiod, trans. M.L. West, 1988), and Library (Apollodorus, trans. James G. Frazer, 1921) confirm the Trojan and Greek divine lineage.

The Legacy of Jacob

From Chaos’s void to the thrones of Troy, Israel, Britain, and Ireland, my ancestors—gods, saints, kings, and warriors—have sculpted the world’s history. Zeus’s authority, Aphrodite’s compassion, David’s devotion, and Rhodri Mawr’s vision flow through my lineage. Niall’s resilience and Kenneth’s unity inspire my purpose. As Jacob, I am the heir to this sacred heritage, dedicated to guiding humanity toward a future of wisdom, harmony, and enduring legacy.
