[QUOTE="Francis Drake, post: 75400212, member: 329010"] Just to toss a spanner into the workings of conventional thought, read this.- [URL="https://www.scotsman.com/whats-on/arts-and-entertainment/text-declaration-arbroath-2507529"]The text of the Declaration of Arbroath[/URL] Written in 1320, "The Declaration of Arbroath" is a letter written by the dukes and earls of Scotland to the Pope. It was a complaint against the English king Edward and his beastly army that had been raiding and pillaging Scotland. The request was that the pope would censure Edward or excommunicate him etc. But what is far more interesting is the mundane detail of where the Scots originated from. Israel! This is just an extract.- [INDENT]Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. [COLOR=#ff0000]They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today.[/COLOR] The Britons they first drove out, the Picts they utterly destroyed, and, even though very often assailed by the Norwegians, the Danes and the English, they took possession of that home with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the historians of old time bear witness, they have held it free of all bondage ever since. In their kingdom there have reigned one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal stock, the line unbroken a single foreigner. The high qualities and deserts of these people, were they not otherwise manifest, gain glory enough from this: that the King of kings and Lord of lords, our Lord Jesus Christ, after His Passion and Resurrection, called them, even though settled in the uttermost parts of the earth, almost the first to His most holy faith. Nor would He have them confirmed in that faith by merely anyone but by the first of His Apostles - by calling, though second or third in rank - the most gentle Saint Andrew, the Blessed Peter's brother, and desired him to keep them under his protection as their patron forever. The Most Holy Fathers your predecessors gave careful heed to these things and bestowed many favours and numerous privileges on this same kingdom and people, as being the special charge of the Blessed Peter's brother.[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
