The Merovingians

The Visigoths were adherents of the Aryan, which denied the divinity of Jesus but simply viewed him as human. Their descendants founded the Merovingian dynasty, which ruled Gaul until the death of king Dagobert II.

The Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris contains a facsimile produced by the monk Lucerius of the highly reputed Fredegar's Chronicle - an exhaustive 7th-century historical work of which the original took 35 years to compile. A special edition of Fredegar's manuscript was presented to the illustrious Nebelungen court and was recognised by the state authorities as a comprehensive, official history. Fredegar, who died in the year 660, was a Burgundian scribe, and his Chronicle covered the period from the earliest days of the Hebrew patriarchs to the era of the Merovingian kings. It cited numerous sources of information of cross-reference, including the writings of St Jerome (translator of the Old Testament into Latin), Archbishop Isidore of Seville and Bishop Gregory of Tours

Christ’s descendent intermarried with the Royal Franks to found what eventually became the mystical Merovingian Dynasty. Ergo, the real mission of the Templars and Priory of Sion: to safeguard not just the treasure of the Crusades, but to preserve the Grail and the dynastic legacy of Christ.

"'Sang réal' has been traditionally interpreted as the 'Holy Grail’, that, Mary Magdalene carried to the Jewish kingdom of southern Gaul including Rennes-le-Château. Mary Magdalene was the wife of Jesus and that what she brought was not a vessel but the royal seed of David in her womb.

The Merovingians were considered in their day to be quasi-mystical warrior-kings vested with supernatural powers.

Up until recently, little was known about these longhaired kings, as they inhabited that historical epoch derided as the 'Dark Ages'. The founder of the royal line, Merovech, was said to be of two fathers - his mother, already pregnant by King Chlodio, was seduced while swimming in the ocean by a 'Quinotaur,' whatever that was, and Merovech was formed somehow by the commingling of Frankish blood and that of the mysterious aquatic creature. Like the Nazoreans of old, the Merovingian monarchs never cut their hair, and bore a distinctive birthmark - said to be a red cross over the shoulder blades or even in their belly or both. Their robes were fringed with tassels, which were said to carry magical curative powers. They were known as occult adepts, and in one Merovingian tomb was found such items as a golden bull's head, a crystal ball, and several golden miniature bees. And strangely, many skulls of these monarchs appear to have been ritually incised.

The Merovingians were 'sacred kings' who reigned but did not rule, leaving the secular governing function to chancellors known as the Mayors of the Palace. It was the one of the Mayors, Pepin the Fat, who founded the dynasty that came to supplant them - the Carolingians."

The Merovingians traced their ancestry back to the Benjamites who, according to legend, has fled from Israel to Arcadia in Greece.

One of the more mysterious footnotes in history is the story of the Principality of Septimania. Granted by Peppin III to the large Jewish population in the south of France, its first king, Theodoric, claimed descent not only from the Merovingian Kings, but lineal descent from King David himself. Both the king and the Pope acknowledged this pedigree. His son, Guillem de Gellone, was a great, almost legendary hero about whom no less than six medieval epics were written. He is closely linked with the Grail family. . His descendant, 17 generations later, was Godefroi de Bouillon, leader of the First Crusade who was, by the Pope, made King of Jerusalem."
