As a gloss to the Historia Brittonum has it "Nulla tamen certa historia
originis Scottorum reperitur" after all sorts of confused traditions about
Brutus, Britto, the Trojans, Ham son of Noah, the Spanish, etc etc.
It is perhaps relevant to this discussion to mention the genealogy of Hywel
Dda in Harleian MS. 3859 which traces the ancestry of the Gwynedd dynasty
from Jesus' sainted Auntie Anna.
Yours aye,
