Our Peers and Royals

aaa
The McCurdy line of the Swope Allied Ascendancy is known historically to the mid 15th, and, it is with the marriage of a McCurdy direct to our Stewart forebear in the mid 17th that we again gain ascendancy to the peerage and too to the royalty of Scotland...thus garnering an enjoyable vehicle for the study of the medieval period and dark ages via our direct line ancestors of Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, etc. We hold direct the Scot royal house of Stewart through King Robert II Stewart [husband to the Bruce's daughter- though she is not direct to us] . Through him, we gain our most ancient assured ancestors in the form of ancient Irish [of Leinster] and Welsh [of Dyfed] Kings , have present Anglo Saxon lines [assured to the mid 8th century] and encounter Rollo, the famous Viking of the late 9th century whose ascendancy is often given but historically unknown and whose descendancy involves the Norman invasion and Norman Kings of England via William the Conqueror, present in our direct line. Charlemagne is also direct to us, although one statistical study of which I am aware remarks that it is statistically LESS likely for a western European to NOT be directly descended from Charlemagne than TO be so related. The trick is in tracing back, and relying on secure information allowing one to hold this ascendancy out. The Howard Allied Ascendancy yields to Logan and thence to allied lines involving the Peerage of Scotland and England through our immigrant ancestor James Logan, a grandson of Bertha of Dundas . Although there is an early Logan said to have married an historically unfounded daughter of Robert II of Scotland [son in law to "the Bruce"] this is fabrication and unsupported by historical research. Initially I was very excited by the possibility of Robert II King of Scotland being direct to both our Howard and Swope allied lines; Unfortunately , this is not the case. Still, James Logan's ascendancy takes us many generations back among the peerage of Scotland and England interplaying strongly with our McCurdy ascending [and Swope allied] Peers and Royals . Through careful study relying on extant primary texts and prudent
historical research and by winding back from Robert II we reach our earliest
assured ancestors in the form of several Kings of Laigin [Leinster-Ireland
relevant] of various Irish septs in the mid 5th century. Too among
these generational ascendancies is Gwerthefyr ap Aergul [Uortiporius ],
King of Dyfed [Wales relevant] contemporaneous to and older than Gildas
who wrote of him between 500-550. Questions on the dates of Gildas' writings
limit the ability to firmly afix this king's time frame, or that of his
father Aergul Lawhir [Agricola] , King of Dyfed.
