These folks cannot pass up a good argument or mud-slinging, name-calling contest. The argument rages on about genealogical proof. By the way, Keats-Rohan has 3 new books for sale at amazon.com and at barnesandnoble.com--expensive!!! BUT I think that she will become the leading authority on medieval folks. The COEL (Continental Origins of English Landholders) database will cost about $1000 American--quite out of reach!!! Even her books will have you eating Hamburger Helper for quite a long time.

If I may be allowed to sum up, it seems possible that there are continuous lines of descent from Roman Imperial times through the middle ages, but there is not sufficient documentation for anyone to feel comfortably certain of it at this time. Regarding Joseph of Arimathea, it is again possible that he came to Britain after the crucifixion with his family, but again, there is not sufficient documentation for anyone to feel comfortably certain of it at this time.
