In most cases I have been able to show that rather than being a total fiction, it is a palimpsest:

Henry VII (28 January 1457 – 21 April 1509) was King of England and Lord of Ireland from his seizure of the crown on 22 August 1485 until his death in 1509. He was the first monarch of the House of Tudor.

What got me writing today was this painting:

I post it large, so you can take a good look at the face.

Henry IV (c. April 1367 – 20 March 1413), also known as Henry Bolingbroke, was King of England from 1399 to 1413. Henry was the son of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, himself the son of Edward III.

John I (Portuguese: João [ʒuˈɐ̃w̃]; 11 April 1357 – 14 August 1433), also called John of Aviz, was King of Portugal from 1385 until his death in 1433.

Jan Matsys, Huig Jacobsz & Lucas Cornelisz de Kock - Lucas Cornelisz de Kock or Kunst (1495–1552) was a Dutch Renaissance painter active in the Tudor court.

Here's a question most will forget to ask: 

Sacha Noam Baron Cohen (/ˈsɑːʃə/ SAH-shə; Hebrew: סָשָׁה נֹעַם בָּרוֹן כֹּהֵן; born 13 October 1971) is an English comedian, actor, writer and producer. He is best known for his creation and portrayal of the fictional satirical characters Ali G, Borat Sagdiyev, Brüno Gehard, and Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen. At the 2012 British Comedy Awards, Baron Cohen received the Outstanding Achievement Award and accepted the award in-character as Ali G. In 2013, he received the BAFTA Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy. In 2018, The Times named him among the 30 best living comedians.

He looks neither:

• Anglo
• Saxon
• Celtic
• Gaelic

nor Scandinavian, does he?

No, he looks decidedly Middle Eastern, and de Kock has made no attempt to hide that or tone it down.

I then had the idea to compare John of Gaunt to his brothers.

Here is a painting of his eldest brother, Edward the Black Prince.

He is the one kneeling.

Hmmm.

Strange, isn't it, that Edward “the Black Prince” is much fairer than John of Gaunt?

You would have thought just the opposite, right?

Edward clearly has blond hair and a blond beard.

His eyebrows are so light you can barely see them.

That is in a more naïve style, so it may have been painted in Edward's time.

It is dated 1390, just 14 years after his death, so the artist may have met Edward or talked to people who knew him.

Other portraits of Edward also show him blond.

So why was he called “the Black”?

He wasn't.

In his own time, he was called Edward of Woodstock.

He wasn't called the Black Prince until the 16th century, in the time of Shakespeare.

Shakespeare: Intel Project – Library of Rickandria

Shakespeare popularized the name.

The mainstream sites admit there is no good reason for him to be called the Black Prince, so we are led to the conclusion that it is some sort of blackwashing instigated by some faction in the 16th century.

That plays right into my theory here, doesn't it?

Also playing into my theory is the fact that Edward is being blackwashed to this day by the same families.

In 2014, Stephen Fry—who I have previously shown is a spook related closely to the ruling families—slandered Edward on the BBC show QI, saying he had massacred 3,000 innocents in the siege of Limoges.

Unfortunately, the BBC later had to admit that wasn't true.

Was Edward the Black Prince really a nasty piece of work? - BBC News

Although that has been the story for centuries, according to documents of the time the number of casualties was at most 300 and may have been as little as tens.

Edward admits in letters that he took 200 soldiers, prisoner, so if he is telling the truth, we have to subtract that from 300 (something the BBC fails to admit).

Making the casualties something under 100.

Unfortunately, we may assume far fewer people read the retraction at BBC than watched the TV show.

This is how propaganda works.

What about the third brother, the Duke of Clarence?

There are no good portraits of him, but in the few images I found, he looked more like Edward than John.

He was very tall, and it appears he may also have had light hair.

In none of them was his nose exceptionally long.

Since all three brothers allegedly had the same father and mother, there is almost no chance two of them would look Anglo-Saxon (or Scandinavian or whatever), with fair hair, and the third would look Jewish, with dark skin and hair.

Well, if we add to that the admitted fact that John of Gaunt was born in the Low Countries (now Belgium), the idea begins to gel.

For we have to ask why the Queen of England was giving birth in Ghent.

Yes, John had two older brothers, but the line of Royal succession was never considered a given in those centuries, due to war and disease.

Two male heirs could perish in a week.

So, the third son of the King should have been born in England, where he could be fully protected.

You will tell me the Queen wanted the help of her family, but that is not how it was done.

They would have come to her, not her to them.

If we add to that the admitted fact Edward III wasn't on hand for his birth and didn't seem to care, and the admitted fact that many at the time alleged John wasn't Edward's son at all, we start to get somewhere.

And if we then look at John's mother, we are off to the races.

She was Philippa of Hainault of the Low Countries:

Well, what do you know, she looks Jewish, too.

That painting is stylized, so it may not convince you, so let's look at her mother, Joan of Valois:

That is far less stylized, with little or no attempt to make her look more attractive.

Notice anything there?

Same astonishing nose and eyes as John of Gaunt.

As a portrait painter, I immediately registered the length of that nose and the way the eyes were drawn.

The eyes are so Eastern they might almost be called Indian.

There is no way that woman is what we would now call:

• Dutch
• German
• Belgian

Mary of Hungary (c. 1257 – 25 March 1323), of the Árpád dynasty, was Queen of Naples by marriage to King Charles II. She was a daughter of Stephen V of Hungary and his wife Elizabeth the Cuman. Mary served as regent in Provence in 1290–1294 and in Naples in 1295–96, 1296–98, and 1302, during the absences of her husband.

Maria Laskarina (c. 1206 – 16 July or 24 June 1270) was a Greek Queen consort of Hungary by marriage to Béla IV of Hungary. She was the daughter of Theodore I Laskaris and Anna Komnena Angelina.

Anna Komnene (Greek: Ἄννα Κομνηνή, romanized: Ánna Komnēnḗ; 1 December 1083 – 1153), commonly Latinized as Anna Comnena, was a Byzantine Greek princess and historian.

Manuel Erotikos Komnenos (Greek: Μανουήλ Ἐρωτικός Κομνηνός, romanized: Manouēl Erōtikos Komnēnos; 955/960 – c. 1020) was a Byzantine military leader under Basil II, and the first fully documented ancestor of the Komnenos dynasty.

Isaac I Komnenos or Comnenus (Greek: Ἰσαάκιος Κομνη­νός, Isaakios Komnēnos; c. 1007 – 1 June 1060) was Byzantine emperor from 1057 to 1059, the first reigning member of the Komnenian dynasty.

Of course, those aren't Roman, Aromanian, Greek, or Vlachish names.

They are Jewish.

 

Manuel I Komnenos (Greek: Μανουήλ Κομνηνός, romanized: Manouḗl Komnēnós; 28 November 1118 – 24 September 1180), Latinized as Comnenus, also called Porphyrogenitus (Greek: Πορφυρογέννητος; "born in the purple"), was a Byzantine emperor of the 12th century who reigned over a crucial turning point in the history of Byzantium and the Mediterranean.

Maria of Antioch (Greek: Μαρία; 1145–1182) was a Byzantine empress by marriage to Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos, and regent during the minority of her son porphyrogennetos Alexios II Komnenos from 1180 until 1182.

The mainstream sites also give another clue, which we can follow later:

Philip of Swabia (February/March 1177 – 21 June 1208), styled Philip II in his charters, was a member of the House of Hohenstaufen and King of Germany from 1198 until his assassination.

Isaac II Angelos or Angelus (Greek: Ἰσαάκιος Κομνηνός Ἄγγελος, translit. Isaákios Komnēnós Ángelos; September 1156 – January 1204) was Byzantine Emperor from 1185 to 1195, and co-Emperor with his son Alexios IV Angelos from 1203 to 1204. In a 1185 revolt against the Emperor Andronikos Komnenos, Isaac seized power and rose to the Byzantine throne, establishing the Angelos family as the new imperial dynasty.

“The motive for the murder has not been established.”

Frederick II (German: Friedrich; Italian: Federico; Latin: Fridericus; 26 December 1194 – 13 December 1250) was King of Sicily from 1198, King of Germany from 1212, King of Italy and Holy Roman Emperor from 1220 and King of Jerusalem from 1225. He was the son of emperor Henry VI of the Hohenstaufen dynasty (the second son of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa) and Queen Constance of Sicily of the Hauteville dynasty.

Conrad II (Konrad II, c. 989/990 – 4 June 1039), also known as Conrad the Elder and Conrad the Salic, was the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 1027 until his death in 1039. The first of a succession of four Salian emperors, who reigned for one century until 1125, Conrad ruled the kingdoms of Germany (from 1024), Italy (from 1026) and Burgundy (from 1033).

Henry II (German: Heinrich II; Italian: Enrico II; 6 May 973 – 13 July 1024), also known as Saint Henry, Obl. S. B. was Holy Roman Emperor ("Romanorum Imperator") from 1014. He died without an heir in 1024 and was the last ruler of the Ottonian line. As Duke of Bavaria, appointed in 995, Henry became King of the Romans ("Rex Romanorum") following the sudden death of his second cousin, Emperor Otto III in 1002, was made King of Italy ("Rex Italiae") in 1004, and crowned emperor by Pope Benedict VIII in 1014.

Judith of Habsburg (German: Guta; 13 March 1271 – 21 May 1297) was queen of Bohemia and Poland from 1285 until her death as the wife of the Přemyslid king Wenceslaus II.

Charles IV (Czech: Karel IV.; German: Karl IV.; Latin: Carolus IV; 14 May 1316 – 29 November 1378), also known as Charles of Luxembourg, born Wenceslaus (Czech: Václav, German: Wenzel), was Holy Roman Emperor from 1355 until his death in 1378. He was elected King of Germany (King of the Romans) in 1346 and became King of Bohemia that same year.

Anne of Bohemia (11 May 1366 – 7 June 1394), also known as Anne of Luxembourg, was Queen of England as the first wife of King Richard II. A member of the House of Luxembourg, she was the eldest daughter of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, and Elizabeth of Pomerania. Her death at the age of 28 was believed to have been caused by plague.

Richard II (6 January 1367 – c. 14 February 1400), also known as Richard of Bordeaux, was King of England from 1377 until he was deposed in 1399. He was the son of Edward, Prince of Wales (later known as the Black Prince), and Joan, Countess of Kent. Richard's father died in 1376, leaving Richard as heir apparent to his grandfather, King Edward III; upon the latter's death, the 10-year-old Richard succeeded to the throne.

John II (French: Jean II; 26 April 1319 – 8 April 1364), called John the Good (French: Jean le Bon), was King of France from 1350 until his death in 1364. When he came to power, France faced several disasters: the Black Death, which killed nearly one-third to one-half of its population; popular revolts known as Jacqueries; free companies (Grandes Compagnies) of routiers who plundered the country; and English aggression that resulted in catastrophic military losses, including the Battle of Poitiers of 1356, in which John was captured.

A great-granddaughter was Queen of Navarre.

Marguerite de Navarre (French: Marguerite d'Angoulême, Marguerite d'Alençon; 11 April 1492 – 21 December 1549), also known as Marguerite of Angoulême and Margaret of Navarre, was a princess of France, Duchess of Alençon and Berry and Queen of Navarre by her second marriage to King Henry II of Navarre. Her brother became King of France, as Francis I, and the two siblings were responsible for the celebrated intellectual and cultural court and salons of their day in France. Marguerite is the ancestress of the Bourbon kings of France, being the mother of Jeanne d'Albret, whose son, Henry of Navarre, succeeded as Henry IV of France, the first Bourbon king. As an author and a patron of humanists and reformers, she was an outstanding figure of the French Renaissance. Samuel Putnam called her "The First Modern Woman".

Philip III (1 May 1245 – 5 October 1285), called the Bold[a] (French: le Hardi), was King of France from 1270 until his death in 1285. His father, Louis IX, died in Tunis during the Eighth Crusade. Philip, who was accompanying him, returned to France and was anointed king at Reims in 1271.

And this is where it goes from weird to uber-weird.

Follow this story if you can:

Philip, then 25 years of age, accompanied his father King Louis IX (Saint Louis, above, note the nose) in the Crusade against Tunis (North Africa).

Louis IX (25 April 1214 – 25 August 1270), commonly revered as Saint Louis, was King of France from 1226 until his death in 1270. He is widely recognized as the most distinguished of the Direct Capetians. Following the death of his father, Louis VIII, he was crowned in Reims at the age of 12.

Charles I (early 1226/1227 – 7 January 1285), commonly called Charles of Anjou or Charles d'Anjou, was a member of the royal Capetian dynasty and the founder of the second House of Anjou. He was Count of Provence (1246–1285) and Forcalquier (1246–1248, 1256–1285) in the Holy Roman Empire, Count of Anjou and Maine (1246–1285) in France; he was also King of Sicily (1266–1285) and Prince of Achaea (1278–1285). In 1272, he was proclaimed King of Albania, and in 1277 he purchased a claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

John Tristan (8 April 1250 – 3 August 1270) was a French prince of the Capetian dynasty. He was jure uxoris count of Nevers from 1265 and of Auxerre and Tonnerre from 1268. He was also in his own right Count of Valois and Crépy, as an appanage of the crown, from 1268.

Also convenient for the Philip story.

Convenient, too, is the death of the husband of Philip's sister Isabella.

This brother-in-law Theobald II of Navarre no doubt could have told tales, so his demise was also necessary.

Theobald II (6/7 December 1239 – 4/5 December 1270) was King of Navarre and also, as Theobald V, Count of Champagne and Brie, from 1253 until his death. He was the son and successor of Theobald I and the second Navarrese monarch of the House of Blois. After he died childless, the throne of Navarre passed to his younger brother, Henry I.

Philip IV (April–June 1268 – 29 November 1314), called Philip the Fair (French: Philippe le Bel), was King of France from 1285 to 1314. By virtue of his marriage with Joan I of Navarre, he was also King of Navarre as Philip I from 1284 to 1305, as well as Count of Champagne.

Soon after, Philip's uncle also died.

Also, childless.

Philip didn't return to Paris until nine months later.

We have to ask why it would take him nine months to return to France after the death of his father and his elevation to the throne.

They admit he didn't remain in Tunis to continue the Crusade, since his contingent quit Africa almost immediately.

Only Charles remained to negotiate.

None of this makes any sense, so what really happened?

Well, it's very suspicious that nearly everyone that could have identified this Philip the Bold died in a short span of months, and he himself disappeared for nine months.

Are we sure the same Prince returned to France that left it?

In trying to unwind this story, I was reminded that in subsequent events, we found that the truth was normally 180 degrees from the story we were told.

If we were told black, the truth was white.

“What would it mean if the Crusades were 180 degrees from the truth?

What would that entail?” 

Well, it would mean that Western Europe wasn't invading or conquering Jerusalem:

Well, one of them may have had this brilliant idea:

Say, Abe, next time one of these stupid Western Kings gets his ass underwater in the East, instead of ransoming him, why don't we kill him and ransom his son?

These dopes always travel with their sons, right?

Even better, why don't we replace his son with an impostor?

But Lev, that won't work.

Someone will recognize him and blow his cover.

No, we will create his entourage as well with the most western looking lads we can find, and then just poison anyone who could recognize him outside that entourage.

That might work on the way back, but it can't work in Paris.

We can't poison half of Paris.

We won't have to.

We only have to poison a few key players:

his father and anyone on the crusade will already be dead, so we will only have to kill, say, his wife, his uncle, maybe a sister or brother-in-Law.

Others we can pay off.

It couldn't be that easy!

Could it?

I don't know, we can only try.

It's risky, sure, but think of the payoff.

If we fail, we lose a couple of brothers.

If we win, we take an entire country.

Think of it like a game of chess.

Jews have always been great at chess.

---

I find chess too boring to bother with, if anyone should ask.

---

I find it about as fascinating as bingo, without the payoff.

If the stories of the Crusades are true, these Western Kings were terrible at it.

Imagine marching your King right out in front of all your pawns.

You are just asking for trouble.

But if what we are told is true, it was even worse than that.

In this 8th Crusade, Louis allegedly took both his sons with him, and these sons took their wives, and they all camped right on the shore of the Mediterranean, waiting for six weeks for the other half of his force to arrive.

This after getting his ass handed to him by Africans just fifteen years earlier.

So basically, he had the IQ of a retarded chimp.

Are you really going to tell me the Jews couldn't pull one over on his entourage?

I'm not saying it happened that way.

We are just getting started.

I put the idea on the table, as something to keep in mind as we proceed.

It is amusing, at least.

We may think of something better after doing our research.

But how did I ever get there?

How could I possibly propose such an outlandish idea?

I just told you how I got there.

I saw evidence John of Gaunt, and his mother were Jewish, so I traced that back.

If these Jews were present in the Royal lines in northwestern Europe, they had to get there somehow.

They didn't just drop from a balloon.

I soon came to Philip, whose story made no sense.

As I saw it, his ridiculous history simply begged for the solution I just offered.

It was nothing but a series of screaming red flags, all pointing in the same direction.

So, let us use what we have found to look at other Crusades.

We will go back in order, so the next one to look at is the 6th Crusade.

Sixth Crusade - Wikipedia

Not very interesting overall as matter of battles, but it gets us into the genealogies, which—as usual—are an eye-opener.

This Crusade involved Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor.

In 1225, he married Isabella II of Jerusalem.

Isabella II (1212 – 4 May 1228), sometimes erroneously called Yolanda, was a princess of French origin, the daughter of Maria, the queen-regnant of Jerusalem, and her husband, John of Brienne. She was reigning Queen of Jerusalem from 1212 until her death in 1228. By marriage to Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, Isabella also became Holy Roman Empress and Queen of Sicily and Germany.

John of Brienne (c. 1170 – 19–23 March 1237), also known as John I, was King of Jerusalem from 1210 to 1225 and Latin Emperor of Constantinople from 1229 to 1237. He was the youngest son of Erard II of Brienne, a wealthy nobleman in Champagne. John, originally destined for an ecclesiastical career, became a knight and owned small estates in Champagne around 1200. After the death of his brother, Walter III, he ruled the County of Brienne on behalf of his minor nephew Walter IV (who lived in southern Italy).

His mother was also European: 

Maria of Montferrat (1192–1212) was the queen of Jerusalem from 1205 until her death. Her parents were Isabella I and her second husband, Conrad of Montferrat. Maria succeeded her mother under the regency of her half-uncle John of Ibelin. After him the kingdom was ruled on Maria's behalf by her husband, John of Brienne, whom she married in 1210. She died giving birth to her successor, Isabella II.

Conrad of Montferrat (Italian: Corrado del Monferrato; Piedmontese: Conrà ëd Monfrà) (died 28 April 1192) was a nobleman, one of the major participants in the Third Crusade. He was the de facto King of Jerusalem (as Conrad I) by virtue of his marriage to Isabella I of Jerusalem from 24 November 1190, but officially elected only in 1192, days before his death. He was also the eighth Marquess of Montferrat from 1191.

Judith (or Jutta, sometimes called Julitta or Ita in Latin sources; c. 1115/1120 – after 1168), a member of the House of Babenberg, was Marchioness of Montferrat from 1135 until her death, by her marriage with Marquess William V.

Agnes of Waiblingen (1072/73 – 24 September 1143), also known as Agnes of Germany, Agnes of Franconia and Agnes of Saarbrücken, was a member of the Salian imperial family. Through her first marriage, she was Duchess of Swabia; through her second marriage, she was Margravine of Austria.

William the Conqueror (c. 1028[1] – 9 September 1087), sometimes called William the Bastard, was the first Norman king of England (as William I), reigning from 1066 until his death. A descendant of Rollo, he was Duke of Normandy (as William II) from 1035 onward. By 1060, following a long struggle to establish his throne, his hold on Normandy was secure. In 1066, following the death of Edward the Confessor, William invaded England, leading an army of Normans to victory over the Anglo-Saxon forces of Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings, and suppressed subsequent English revolts in what has become known as the Norman Conquest. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands, and by difficulties with his eldest son, Robert Curthose.

Joan of Arc (French: Jeanne d'Arc [ʒan daʁk]; Middle French: Jehanne Darc [ʒəˈãnə ˈdark]; c. 1412 – 30 May 1431) is a patron saint of France, honored as a defender of the French nation for her role in the siege of Orléans and her insistence on the coronation of Charles VII of France during the Hundred Years' War. Claiming to be acting under divine guidance, she became a military leader who transcended gender roles and gained recognition as a savior of France.

But back to William the Conqueror, grandson of Judith of Brittany:

You have to laugh, that they still post that as William the Conqueror.

They aren't afraid to let him look Jewish, since they have no respect for your intelligence.

I'm just surprised they don't post paintings of him in a yarmulke.

But let's follow another line, shall we?

Maria of Montferrat's mother was Isabella I of Jerusalem.

Maria Komnene (Greek: Μαρία Κομνηνή; c. 1154 – 1217), Latinized Comnena, was the queen of Jerusalem from 1167 until 1174 as the second wife of King Amalric. She occupied a central position in the Kingdom of Jerusalem for twenty years, earning a reputation for intrigue and ruthlessness.

“A descendant of the ancient Armenian kings.”

“Many Armenian towns became predominantly Jewish.”

Note that: 

Sennacherib (Neo-Assyrian cuneiform:       Sîn-ahhī-erība[3] or Sîn-aḥḥē-erība, meaning "Sîn has replaced the brothers") was the king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from the death of his father Sargon II in 705 BC to his own death in 681 BC. The second king of the Sargonid dynasty, Sennacherib is one of the most famous Assyrian kings for the role he plays in the Hebrew Bible, which describes his campaign in the Levant. Other events of his reign include his destruction of the city of Babylon in 689 BC and his renovation and expansion of the last great Assyrian capital, Nineveh.

“In obscure circumstances.”

Are the circumstances really that obscure, or have them been obscured for the same old reasons?

You decide.

Sennacherib had two wives and four sons.

The first son was killed by Babylonians.

Babylonian Brotherhood: Ancient Great White Brotherhood – Library of Rickandria

The fourth son was the only one to the second wife, but this fourth son was to succeed him.

Strange.

So, the two middle sons were understandably angry.

But why had they been passed over?

We aren't told, but what if Sennacherib's first wife was Jewish?

That would answer all our questions at once, wouldn't it?

It would make the Artsrunis Jewish, as I suspected from the first, and it would explain the “obscure circumstances” in Nineveh.

In support of that, notice that we have the usual “obscure circumstances” at the mainstream sites, which have a lot to say about the second wife, Naqi'a Zakitu—even linking us to her own page at Wiki—but which have nothing to say about the first wife.

Her name is given as Tašmētu-šarrat, but no information is available on her at Wiki.

We have to go to Oxford, where we learn a bit more.

There we are told of inscriptions where she is called his “beloved wife”,

“Whose features were perfect above all women.”

The text there admits this was uncommon or even “unique” for such inscriptions, we suppose because such marriages were not usually love matches.

This we can also take as confirmation of our guesses.

More clues come from the beginning of Sennacherib's reign, where we find he also was not a first son.

When his father Sargon II died, the transition to Sennacherib was “not smooth”.

Sargon II (Neo-Assyrian cuneiform:  Šarru-kīn, meaning "the faithful king" or "the legitimate king") was the king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from 722 BC to his death in battle in 705. Probably the son of Tiglath-Pileser III (r. 745–727), Sargon is generally believed to have become king after overthrowing Shalmaneser V (r. 727–722), probably his brother. He is typically considered the founder of a new dynastic line, the Sargonid dynasty.

Hezekiah (/ˌhɛzɪˈkaɪ.ə/; Biblical Hebrew: חִזְקִיָּהוּ‎, romanized: Ḥīzqīyyāhū), or Ezekias[c] (born c. 741 BCE, sole ruler c. 716/15–687/86), was the son of Ahaz and the 13th king of Judah according to the Hebrew Bible.

For comparison, look at what Sennacherib did to Babylon when it rebelled: 

George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, FRS (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824) was a British poet and peer. He is one of the major figures of the Romantic movement and is regarded as being among the greatest of English poets. Among his best-known works are the lengthy narratives Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage; much of his shorter lyrics in Hebrew Melodies also became popular.

Also interesting to remember is that Lord Byron wrote a song (poem) on Sennacherib: 

Again, we have to ask why the Gentile Byron was so interested in such subjects, and I gave you the answer in my paper on Napoleon: 

Again, I told you why in my exposé of Twain: 

Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (Russian: Модест Петрович Мусоргский[a], tr. Modest Petrovich Musorgsky[b], IPA: [mɐˈdɛst pʲɪˈtrovʲɪtɕ ˈmusərkskʲɪj] ⓘ; 21 March [O.S. 9 March] 1839 – 28 March [O.S. 16 March] 1881) was a Russian composer, one of the group known as "The Five". He was an innovator of Russian music in the Romantic period. He strove to achieve a uniquely Russian musical identity, often in deliberate defiance of the established conventions of Western music.

Hugh (c. 1074 – c. 1125) was the Count of Champagne from 1093 until his death.

Baldwin II, also known as Baldwin of Bourcq or Bourg (French: Baudouin; c. 1075 – 21 August 1131), was Count of Edessa from 1100 to 1118, and King of Jerusalem from 1118 until his death.

Other pages at Wikipedia confirm that, since they admit the mainstream history: 

Also remember what we found above: 

“Invested heavily on the commanders of the First Crusade.”

In this way, the long-term effect of the Crusades was not a conquering of Jerusalem, Palestine, or the Middle East, it was the reverse: 

Pope Gregory IX (Latin: Gregorius IX; born Ugolino di Conti; 1145 – 22 August 1241) was head of the Catholic Church and the ruler of the Papal States from 19 March 1227 until his death in 1241. He is known for issuing the Decretales and instituting the Papal Inquisition, in response to the failures of the episcopal inquisitions established during the time of Pope Lucius III, by means of the papal bull Ad abolendam, issued in 1184.

Sultan of Egypt was the status held by the rulers of Egypt after the establishment of the Ayyubid dynasty of Saladin in 1174 until the Ottoman conquest of Egypt in 1517. Though the extent of the Egyptian Sultanate ebbed and flowed, it generally included Sham and Hejaz, with the consequence that the Ayyubid and later Mamluk sultans were also regarded as the Sultans of Syria. From 1914, the title was once again used by the heads of the Muhammad Ali dynasty of Egypt and Sudan, later being replaced by the title of King of Egypt and Sudan in 1922.

Although Frederick could only show a token of force, for some reason the Sultan of Egypt ceded:

• Jerusalem
• Bethlehem
• Nazareth
• Jaffa

Frankly, this 6th Crusade looks totally fabricated, which would explain Frederick's excommunication: 

Natalie Portman (née Hershlag, Hebrew: נטע-לי הרשלג, born June 9, 1981) is an American actress. She has had a prolific film career from her teenage years and has starred in various blockbusters and independent films, receiving multiple accolades, including an Academy Award and two Golden Globe Awards.

Andrew II (Hungarian: II. András, Croatian: Andrija II., Slovak: Ondrej II., Ukrainian: Андрій II; c. 1177 – 21 September 1235), also known as Andrew of Jerusalem, was King of Hungary and Croatia between 1205 and 1235.

Philip II (21 August 1165 – 14 July 1223), byname Philip Augustus (French: Philippe Auguste), was King of France from 1180 to 1223. His predecessors had been known as kings of the Franks (Latin: rex Francorum), but from 1190 onward, Philip became the first French monarch to style himself "King of France" (rex Francie).

Leopold V (1157 – 31 December 1194), known as the Virtuous (German: der Tugendhafte) was a member of the House of Babenberg who reigned as Duke of Austria from 1177 and Duke of Styria within the Holy Roman Empire from 1192 until his death.

Without these armies, all that Acre had was a treaty, which was basically worthless.

The various Kings of Jerusalem would have required huge standing armies to keep at bay all the Eastern armies, and they simply didn't have them.

So, none of this is believable from the first word.

In support of that, we are told the leaders of the Fifth Crusade required an alliance with the Seljuks in order to attack Egypt.

What?

Why would the Seljuks ally with the Crusaders?

What exactly did they have to gain?

Or, I should say, what did the Crusaders have to offer?

The Crusaders wanted Jerusalem (which, remember, was allegedly Muslim-free and wall-less at the time), but what did the Crusaders have that the Seljuks could use?

Nothing but Acre.

And that they could take anytime they liked.

All they had to do is wait for the Crusader armies to return to Europe.

All this does is remind us that the Crusaders had many enemies in the East, not just one.

They had both the Seljuks and the Ayyubids to fight to start with, and if anyone was going to ally it was those armies.

They were both of the East, and the last thing they wanted was a Western power coming in starting religious wars.

The Seljuks and Ayyubids may have been enemies, but they were both Muslim states.

More than that, they were both Sunni Muslims.

Sunni Islam - Wikipedia

So, their wars were not religious wars.

Neither would have allied themselves with Western Christians just for the fun of it.

Here's something worth studying:

That is the Seljuk Empire at its greatest extent in 1092.

Its western capital was in Hamadan, now western Iran (north and west of the star there).

So, this wasn't a two-bit empire of goat-herders.

These guys were serious warriors.

However, that isn't why I posted this map.

There's a rather conspicuous hole in the map, isn't there, above Palestine and east of Byzantium.

What is that?

That's Armenia.

Why would these Seljuks be able to conquer Byzantium all the way to Constantinople, but not be able to conquer Armenia?

You may be confused, since that isn't the present-day Armenia, which is hundreds of miles to the East.

But in the time of the Crusades, Armenia was centered on the northeast corner of the Mediterranean, above Antioch.

So, again, why did the Seljuks leave Armenia alone?

That is a central clue to this whole mystery, since Armenia just keeps coming up.

Still not reading that clue?

Add this clue to it: 

“There is no scientific evidence for a global flood.”

Immanuel Velikovsky (/ˌvɛliˈkɒfski/; Russian: Иммануи́л Велико́вский, IPA: [ɪmənʊˈil vʲɪlʲɪˈkofskʲɪj]; 10 June [O.S. 29 May] 1895 – 17 November 1979) was a Russian American psychoanalyst, writer, and catastrophist. He is the author of several books offering pseudohistorical interpretations of ancient history, including the U.S. bestseller Worlds in Collision published in 1950. Velikovsky's work is frequently cited as a canonical example of pseudoscience and has been used as an example of the demarcation problem.

Ignatius Loyola Donnelly (November 3, 1831 – January 1, 1901) was an American Congressman, populist writer, and fringe scientist. He is known primarily now for his fringe theories concerning Atlantis, Catastrophism (especially the idea of an ancient impact event affecting ancient civilizations), and Shakespearean authorship. These works are widely regarded as examples of pseudoscience and pseudohistory. Donnelly's work corresponds to the writings of late-19th and early-20th century figures such as Helena Blavatsky, Rudolf Steiner, and James Churchward.

Sir Archibald Geikie OM KCB FRS FRSE (28 December 1835 – 10 November 1924) was a Scottish geologist and writer.

Both are now reviled, but Donnelly's Ragnarok compiles much interesting evidence in his first chapters, using the respected research of Sir Archibald Geikie, Louis Agassiz and others.

Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz (/ˈæɡəsi/ AG-ə-see; French: [aɡasi]) FRS (For) FRSE (May 28, 1807 – December 14, 1873) was a Swiss-born American biologist and geologist who is recognized as a scholar of Earth's natural history.

Frederick II (left) meets al-Kamil (right) Al-Kamil (Arabic: الكامل; full name: al-Malik al-Kamil Naser ad-Din Abu al-Ma'ali Muhammad; c. 1177 – 6 March 1238) was a Kurdish Muslim ruler and the fourth Ayyubid sultan of Egypt.

Pelagius (/pəˈleɪdʒiəs/; c. 354–418) was a British theologian known for promoting a system of doctrines (termed Pelagianism by his opponents) which emphasized human choice in salvation and denied original sin. Pelagius was accused of heresy at the synod of Jerusalem in 415 and his doctrines were harshly criticized by Augustine of Hippo, especially the Pelagian views about mankind's good nature and individual responsibility for choosing asceticism. Pelagius especially stressed the freedom of human will. Very little is known about the personal life and career of Pelagius.

Instead, we are told these troops followed Pelagius in an attack on Cairo.

Again, in the middle of summer!

Apparently, no one in the Crusader army realized the Nile flooded in the summer, and they got trapped and annihilated.

Again, not believable.

Everyone in the entire Old World over the age of ten knew the Nile flooded in the summer back then.

The village idiots in Iceland and Outer Mongolia knew that.

OK, so let's move on the Knights Templar.

The first clue we get at Wiki is this: 

Pelagius (/pəˈleɪdʒiəs/; c. 354–418) was a British theologian known for promoting a system of doctrines (termed Pelagianism by his opponents) which emphasized human choice in salvation and denied original sin. Pelagius was accused of heresy at the synod of Jerusalem in 415 and his doctrines were harshly criticized by Augustine of Hippo, especially the Pelagian views about mankind's good nature and individual responsibility for choosing asceticism. Pelagius especially stressed the freedom of human will. Very little is known about the personal life and career of Pelagius.

Since Philip's men had kidnapped the previous Pope Boniface just a few years earlier, it doesn't really make any sense that the new Pope Clement would be doing Philip any favors.

Before we get into it, also remind yourself that the Templars were actually called the Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon.

The word Templars comes from the Temple of Solomon.

Don't you find it curious to see them connecting themselves overtly to the Temple of Solomon?

Would Christians be more likely to do that, or. . . say. . . Jews?

The Temple was where the Ark of the Covenant was housed, and the Ark contained the original stone Ten Commandments and the rod of Aaron.

According to Abrahamic religions, Aaron (/ˈærən/ ARR-ən or /ˈɛərən/ AIR-ən) was a prophet, a high priest, and the elder brother of Moses. Information about Aaron comes exclusively from religious texts such as the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament (Luke, Acts, and Hebrews), and the Quran.

Hugues de Payens or Payns (9 February 1070 – 24 May 1136) was the co-founder and first Grand Master of the Knights Templar. In association with Bernard of Clairvaux, he created the Latin Rule, the code of behavior for the Order.

Look it up: 

Ralph IV (French: Raoul; born c. 1025, died 1074) was a northern French nobleman who amassed an extensive array of lordships lying in a crescent around the Île-de-France from the border of the Duchy of Normandy in the northwest to Champagne in the southeast.

Henry I (4 May 1008 – 4 August 1060) was King of the Franks from 1031 to 1060. The royal demesne of France reached its smallest size during his reign, and for this reason he is often seen as emblematic of the weakness of the early Capetians. This is not entirely agreed upon, however, as other historians regard him as a strong but realistic king, who was forced to conduct a policy mindful of the limitations of the French monarchy.

Anne of Kiev or Anna Yaroslavna[a] (c. 1030 – 1075) was a princess of Kievan Rus who became Queen of France in 1051 upon marrying King Henry I. She ruled the kingdom as regent during the minority of their son Philip I from Henry's death in 1060 until her controversial marriage to Count Ralph IV of Valois. Anne founded the Abbey of St. Vincent at Senlis.

She was the mother of King Philip I.

So, Ralph's stepson was the King, making the King the uncle of Hugh of Champagne.

Mark that: 

Yaroslav I Vladimirovich (c. 978–20 February 1054), better known as Yaroslav the Wise, was Grand Prince of Kiev from 1019 until his death in 1054. He was also earlier Prince of Novgorod from 1010 to 1034 and Prince of Rostov from 987 to 1010, uniting the principalities for a time. Yaroslav's baptismal name was George after Saint George.

Vladimir I Sviatoslavich or Volodymyr I Sviatoslavych (Old East Slavic: Володимѣръ Свѧтославичь, romanized: Volodiměr Svętoslavič; Christian name: Basil; c. 958 – 15 July 1015), given the epithet "the Great",[12] was Prince of Novgorod from 970 and Grand Prince of Kiev from 978 until his death in 1015. The Eastern Orthodox Church canonized him as Saint Vladimir.

Sviatoslav or Svyatoslav I Igorevich (Old East Slavic: Свѧтославъ Игорєвичь, romanized: Svętoslavŭ Igorevičǐ; Old Norse: Sveinald;[a] c. 943 – 972) was Prince of Kiev from 945 until his death in 972. He is known for his persistent campaigns in the east and south, which precipitated the collapse of two great powers in Eastern Europe, Khazaria and the First Bulgarian Empire. He conquered numerous East Slavic tribes, defeated the Alans and attacked the Volga Bulgars and at times was allied with the Pechenegs and Magyars (Hungarians).

Olga (Church Slavonic: Ольга;[2][a] Old Norse: Helga;[3] c. 890–925 – 11 July 969) was a regent of Kievan Rus' for her son Sviatoslav from 945 until 960. Following her baptism, Olga took the name Elenа.[b] She is known for her subjugation of the Drevlians, a tribe that had killed her husband Igor. Even though it was her grandson Vladimir who adopted Christianity and made it the state religion, she was the first ruler to be baptized.

Here are some of the things this Saint did: 

Vasily Nikitich Tatishchev (Russian: Васи́лий Ники́тич Тати́щев; 19 April 1686 – 15 July 1750) was a prominent Russian Imperial statesman, historian, philosopher, and ethnographer. He is known as the author of a book on Russian history titled The History of Russia (Russian: История Российская, romanized: Istoriia Rossiiskaia), posthumously published in 1767.

Isaac Asimov (/ˈæzɪmɒv/ AZ-ih-mov; c. January 2, 1920 – April 6, 1992) was an American writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University. During his lifetime, Asimov was considered one of the "Big Three" science fiction writers, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke. A prolific writer, he wrote or edited more than 500 books. He also wrote an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. Best known for his hard science fiction, Asimov also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as popular science and other non-fiction.

Malusha Malkovna (Old East Slavic: Малушa) was allegedly a servant (kholopka) for Olga of Kiev and concubine of Sviatoslav I of Kiev. According to Slavonic chronicles, she was the mother of Vladimir the Great and sister of Dobrynya. The Norse sagas describe Vladimir's mother as a prophetess who lived to the age of 100 and was brought from her cave to the palace to predict the future. There are monuments of Malusha with her young son, Vladimir, in Korosten, Ukraine.

No, let me guess: 

“The union broke the rules of consanguinity.”

“Was related to the Capetian house to within the prohibited degree.”

but he hadn't married the King, he had married the Queen, who wasn't Capetian by blood.

Anyway, this Ralph was eventually excommunicated, and we are told it was due his marriage problems.

But I have shown you how that story was manufactured.

He couldn't have shared blood with the Queen unless he was a Yaroslav.

So possibly he was excommunicated for being crypto Jewish.

At any rate, we have the usual red flags here, all flapping in the same direction as all the other flags.

What this means is that Ralph's grandson Hugh of Champagne was also probably Jewish, explaining his connection to the Knights of Solomon's Temple.

Hugh was the third son of Theobald III, Count of Blois and Adele of Valois, bearing the title Count of Bar-sur-Aube. His older brother Odo IV, Count of Troyes, died in 1093, leaving him master of Troyes, where he centered his court, Bar-sur-Aube and Vitry-le-François.

And note this from the Wiki page on these Champagne fairs: 

Also, this: 

Jean Favier (2 April 1932 – 12 August 2014) was a French historian, who specialized in Medieval history. From 1975 to 1994, he was director of the French National Archives. From 1994 to 1997, he was president of the Bibliothèque nationale de France.

"The success of the Champagne fairs can be attributed solely to this intelligent policy of applying public order to business." [15]

The Counts' concern for protection of this profitable trade extended beyond their borders: 

Bernard of Clairvaux, O. Cist. (Latin: Bernardus Claraevallensis; 1090 – 20 August 1153), venerated as Saint Bernard, was an abbot, mystic, co-founder of the Knights Templar, and a major leader in the reformation of the Benedictine Order through the nascent Cistercian Order.

Also, something to look at another time is St. Bernard (below, note the nose), who—with his Cistercian monks—was set up at Clairvaux Abbey by Hugh in 1115.

This hoists the red flag over that enterprise as well.

Hugh of Champagne was one of the first dozen Knights Templar.

Another was Andre de Montbard, who just happened to be St. Bernard's uncle.

André de Montbard (5 November c. 1097 – 17 January 1156) was the fifth Grand Master of the Knights Templar and also one of the founders of the Order.

Baldwin's siblings were:

• Manasses
• Beatrice
• Hodierna

Charles Martel (c. 688 – 22 October 741), Martel being a sobriquet in Old French for "The Hammer", was a Frankish political and military leader who, as Duke and Prince of the Franks and Mayor of the Palace, was the de facto ruler of the Franks from 718 until his death.

Let me make this really easy for you: 

Isabella of Aragon (ca. 1247 – 28 January 1271), was Queen of France from 1270 to 1271 by marriage to Philip III of France.

Andrew II (Hungarian: II. András, Croatian: Andrija II., Slovak: Ondrej II., Ukrainian: Андрій II; c. 1177 – 21 September 1235), also known as Andrew of Jerusalem, was King of Hungary and Croatia between 1205 and 1235.

And there's even more: 

Katharine Houghton Hepburn (May 12, 1907 – June 29, 2003) was an American actress whose career as a Hollywood leading lady spanned six decades.

Eleanor was the mother of Eleanor of England, who was the grandmother of Louis IX, linking us to all these people again.

But we have more than that.

Clement's page gives us a big clue when it admits his brother was the Archbishop of Lyon from 1289-1294.

Pope Clement V - Wikipedia

On this brother's page [Berard de Got], we find their father was the Lord of Villandraut.

And if we go to the page for the Archbishop of Lyon, we find a substantial problem.

There we are told the Archbishop of Lyon from 1290-1295 was Louis of Naples [St. Louis of Toulouse], appointed by Clement (above) but not related to him.

Louis was born in Brignoles, Provence (or in Italy, at Nocera, where he spent a part of his early life), the second son of King Charles II of Naples and Mary of Hungary.

Added 2023: 

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (28 August 1749 – 22 March 1832) was a German polymath and writer, who is widely regarded as the greatest and most influential writer in the German language.

Amon Leopold Göth (German: [ˈɡøːt] ⓘ; alternative spelling Goeth; 11 December 1908 – 13 September 1946) was an Austrian SS functionary and war criminal. He served as the commandant of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp in Płaszów in German-occupied Poland for most of the camp's existence during World War II.

More than friends:

I am pretty sure Wikipedia added this paragraph since 2017: 

My guess is it had to do with keeping the overland trade routes to the Far East open, so that these families could continue to freely or cheaply import:

• cloth
• spices
• furs

This means the Crusades were an arm of and precursor to what would later become the East India Company, with the:

and Kings of:

• France
• Germany
• Bohemia

Power of the Purse: The Origin of Money – Library of Rickandria

This is why the Champagne cloth fairs were such an important clue, as was the admission that a lot more was traded there than cloth.

And what about Philip III the Bold?

Was he replaced by an impostor?

Well, it is hard to say for sure, even after all we have learned.

I would say the story of that Crusade is definitely the cover for something, and that the given history is false.

I have shown you that St. Louis his father was probably already Jewish to begin with, so the family didn't need to be infiltrated.

But it is obvious to me that something wasn't going as planned and required a rather magnificent fix.

Since we are looking at Jewish lines, it is the females that are actually more important, so Philip's wife Isabella of Aragon is the key here.

Andrew of Crete (Greek: Ἀνδρέας Κρήτης, c. 650 – July 4, 712 or 726 or 740), also known as Andrew of Jerusalem, was an 8th-century bishop, theologian, homilist, and hymnographer. He is venerated as a saint in both the Eastern Orthodoxy and the Catholic Church.

Her grandfather was Andrew of Jerusalem, descended from Baldwin II, King of Jerusalem.

And Baldwin's grandparents were Manasses and Judith remember.

---

Since Isabella was the grandmother of Joan of Valois, this means John of Gaunt was the 8g-grandson of Manasses and Judith.

---

In other words, Queen Isabella ties us to the main action here.

Her line is even more important than the Capetian royal line in France, which wouldn't interest the Jewish scholars except at the point that it had been previously intercepted by Anna Yaroslavna (who we already covered above).

Therefore, Philip III the Bold was just a placeholder.

He was relatively unimportant as a matter of blood, being useful only because he was the heir to the throne.

But if St. Louis should decide to change the line of succession for some reason after Philip III had already been married to Isabella (and after Philip IV had already been born), a very large problem would arise for the powers behind Isabella.

In fact, we saw a very similar problem centuries later, when those behind Catherine de' Medici had to get rid of Henry II.

Henry may have been talking about changing his heir, and that couldn't be allowed.

In the present case, I suggest Louis was talking about naming Philip's younger brother John Tristan as heir, and that couldn't be allowed.

Things had to be arranged so that Isabella's son remained heir.

That may have required very drastic measures, explaining all the deaths.

Or all the relocations to Tunis.

As now, all these deaths may have been faked.

As we have seen in dozens of previous papers, relocations accomplish the same thing as deaths, without the bad karma involved in an actual murder.

Tunis may have been the South America of the time, acting as a destination for people that needed to disappear from Europe.

Although that theory isn't as amusing or cinematic as the impostor theory, I think that—given what we have discovered of the genealogies—it is more likely.

I will go with it for now.

Some will have tripped over my claim of “people behind Isabella”. 

Am I saying the King and Queen weren't the top of the food chain? 

Yep, that is what I am saying. 

Same as now. 

Those who appear to be ruling aren't really ruling. 

In that regard, this may interest you:
