Note: In his old age Noah shared the world with his sons: for Ham he intended the western region, for Japheth the northern region, but for Shem the southern region, with those parts which will hereafter be marked out in the division of the earth into three parts. In the time that the sons of these men were in the world, then increased forthwith the desire for riches and power, from the fact that they knew many crafts that had not been discovered before, and each one was exalted with his own handiwork; and so far did they carry their pride, that the Africans, descended from Ham, harried in that part of the world which the offspring of Shem, their kinsman, inhabited.
-- The Prose Edda: Prologue, by Snorre Sturleson 1178-1241

Note: In his old age Noah shared the world with his sons: for Ham he intended the western region, for Japheth the northern region, but for Shem the southern region, with those parts which will hereafter be marked out in the division of the earth into three parts. In the time that the sons of these men were in the world, then increased forthwith the desire for riches and power, from the fact that they knew many crafts that had not been discovered before, and each one was exalted with his own handiwork; and so far did they carry their pride, that the Africans, descended from Ham, harried in that part of the world which the offspring of Shem, their kinsman, inhabited.
And when they had conquered them, the world seemed to them too small, and they smithied a tower with tile and stone, which they meant should reach to heaven, on the plain called Sennar. And when this building was so far advanced that it extended above the air, and they were no less eager to continue the work, and when God saw how their pride waxed high, then he sees that he will have to strike it down in some way.
And the same God, who is almighty, and who might have struck down all their work in the twinkling of an eye, and made themselves turn into dust, still preferred to frustrate their purpose by making them realize their own littleness, in that none of them should understand what the other talked; and thus no one knew what the other commanded, and one broke what the other wished to build up, until they came to strife among themselves, and therewith was frustrated, in the beginning, their purpose of building a tower. And he who was foremost, hight Zoroaster, he laughed before he wept when he came into the world; but the master-smiths were seventy-two, and so many tongues have spread over the world since the giants were dispersed over the land, and the nations became numerous.
In this same place was built the most famous city, which took its name from the tower, and was called Babylon.
And when the confusion of tongues had taken place, then increased the names of men and of other things, and this same Zoroaster had many names; and although he understood that his pride was laid low by the said building, still he worked his way unto worldly power, and had himself chosen king over many peoples of the Assyrians. From him arose the error of idolatry; and when he was worshiped he was called Baal; we call him Bel; he also had many other names.
But as the names increased in number, so was truth lost; and from this first error every following man worshiped his head-master, beasts or birds, the air and the heavenly bodies, and various lifeless things, until the error at length spread over the whole world; and so carefully did they lose the truth that no one knew his maker, excepting those men alone who spoke the Hebrew tongue,---that which flourished before the building of the tower,---and still they did not lose the bodily endowments that were given them, and therefore they judged of all things with earthly understanding, for spiritual wisdom was not given unto them. They deemed that all things were smithied of some one material.

Note: One source has the following details:
The lineage of Jobab remained in the Middle East, while his clan cousins wer swept into China by the band of Nimrod. The clan of Jobab, which was accompanied by many Shemite people including the Medes, fled into Tibet, (where many Chou people still reside today) and when the Medes migrated north, back to their original homelands just south of the Caspian Sea, the Chou migrated into China to join their blood cousins, the Shang, who by now were well established in China.
The name Jesharelah means "Upright towards God." Jesharelah [son of Hoshaiah, son of Jobab] lived during this time and was then the patriarch of the Chou. Many stories were written about him, due to this, and preserved by a Hamite-Shemite population of people. While in China, Jesharelah took the Chinese name Hou Chi, which means Holder of the Mandate of Jehovah God. Ian, the Mede [son of Madai son of Japheth] became Yan and all Medes in China acquired the Chinese family name of Chiang.

During Cealwin's reign, Pope Gregory sent missionaries to England and, in 591, Columba went to the Picts in Scotland. In 593 there was a great slaughter of Britons at Wanborough and after having been driven from his kingdom, Caelwin died."

He is conjectured to have married a daughter of Ethelbert II, King of Kent (RIN 6599). See, for example, Wagner's "Pedigree and Progress," pedigree 29. If correct, this would open up a bona fide Merovingian descent via the kings of Kent.

Subject: Re: Egbert of England:
. "I know that in this I am being more conservative than most, but I have also wondered about the connection between Egbert and Ine. That his father Eahlmund was King of Kent makes me wonder if this wasn't a new dynasty from Kent that gained control of Wessex and grafted its ancestors onto a known younger brother of a native King four generations before (as is often the case with such grafts)."

30 Dec 1998 sbald@@@@auburn.campus.mci.net (Stewart Baldwin), posted to
the same thread:
. ". . . but there is a serious problem that is often overlooked, and that is that there is no good evidence that Egbert of Wessex was the son of Eahlmund of Kent. That claim has been repeated an unknown number of times, but the actual evidence is as follows:
. 1. The West Saxon genealogies give a certain Eahlmund as the name of Egbert's father.
. 2. A certain Eahlmund appears as a sub-king in Kent in some documents of the late eighth century.
. Other than the fact that they had the same name at roughly the same time, there is no known evidence that the two individuals were identical, so this is a good example of the old "name is the same" problem.
. Another problem with the above theory is that the number of generations back to the suggested "graft" is relatively small, increasing the danger that the supposed lie would be caught by contemporaries.
(There was only 76 years between the death of Ine and the accession of Egbert.)" [note: Ine is the supposed brother of INGLID, Ealhmund's great grandfather.]

On 30 Dec 1998 "Chris Bennett" posted to the same
thread:
. "You're not the only one to have doubts! The Wessex genealogy is frankly strange. Cerdic, Cynric and Ceawlin all have Celtic names, as does Caedwalla as late as 688. After Ceawlin the succession jumps all over the map. It is extremely suspicious, to my mind, that the ASC produces ancestries for all the kings up to Ine but doesn't even attempt to give a genealogy for any of the kings between Ine and Egbert beyond some vague handwaving about them being descended from Cerdic -- and Ine is the last close king to Egbert's line. Given that our major source, the ASC, was compiled by Egbert's grandson who was at least as interested in legitimising his line as he was in recording the history of
his people, the whole thing looks very suspect.
. . . There are some other items to consider. The name Egbert is characteristic of the Kentish royal family. Also, for two generations after Egbert's day Kent remained a separate kingdom ruled by members of Egbert's family, which is special treatment quite unusual amongst Saxon dynasties (though common on the continent). Finally, he appears to have been sufficiently well-born to be accepted as a royal exile at Charlemagne's court, and may even have married a relative. I agree that none of these points are conclusive, but they are consistent with the notion that he had Kentish affiliations."
. . . and continuing in onother post the next day:
. "A graft is even harder to explain if you adopt the Kentish scenario. If Egbert had in fact been a member of the Kentish royal family, then there would have been many people who knew of his Kentish origin, and that knowledge would probably have still been around later in the century, making the lie of a graft hard to get by with. Contrast this with the possibility that Egbert was a West Saxon who came to the throne with a vague claim that he was a descendant of Cerdic. In that case, such a graft would be more likely to go uncaught. So, if there was a "graft" which falsified the pedigree, an obscure West Saxon origin would be the most likely possibility, not a royal Kentish one.
. Still, even though the evidence for Egbert's pedigree back to a brother of Ine is clearly not as good as we would like, I see no clear reason to mistrust it."

Subject: re: Egbert's genealogy to Cenred:
. "First, about the manuscript tradition agreeing. There are cases where the variants of the Chronicle differ, and some of these differences are due to copyists "correcting" the version they are copying, using local source material. Since no such changes occurred (nor do we see them in the later, gaudier, 10th century Wessex genealogies), we can assume either (a) [as you point out] that there's one source, namely the ASC itself, and that's it; or (b) that the multiple sources agreed. Since there are cases where the multiple sources clearly didn't agree (viz: Creoda), establishing agreement is a useful touchpoint.
. Stewart Baldwin noted the classic reason for saying the genealogy was composed in Aethelwulf's reign -- namely the genealogy ends with him. There's even more in this case. If you look at the ASC preface and the genealogy under Aethelwulf, you'll see the preface has additional generations blatantly added as an afterthought -- the copyist simply tacked on some sentences after copying an existing genealogy. And the Aethelwulf genealogy was carefully designed to be two runs of equal or roughly equal lengths. In short, someone clearly took time to write a classic genealogy for Aethelwulf, and it was added to quickly when the
ASC was put together.
. Incidentally, we know genealogy was an interest in Aethelwulf's reign. If my memory isn't too busted, Asser records that Alfred had a book as a boy that contained histories and royal genealogies. . Finally, you raised the question of Kentish links for Ine and family. Ine was actively involved in Kentish affairs -- most historians treat the limited evidence of late 600s Wessex activities in Kent as the start of a multi-century struggle for Kent to retain its independence from its two more powerful neighbors. That said, I tried very hard to be agnostic in
my previous note about whether Ealhmund, father of Egbert, and Ealhmund, king of Kent, were the same person. It is clear that Egbert was the son of *someone* named Ealhmund. . . . Side note: If Ealhmund, father of Egbert, was the king of Kent, then the grafting issue is still hanging over our heads. However, what I believe my little analysis showed is that it had to be a skillful grafting, that met other requirements such as generation lengths -- and there's
plenty of evidence that grafting was not traditionally done with chronology constraints in mind. In short, this is either a *very* good forgery, or it is accurate. (Expressed another way, as genealogists we often have to distinguish between known fact, and "probably" and "possibly" -- in this case, given all we know, we should treat Egbert to Eafa as fact [while saying "possibly or probably" for Ealhmund's status as king of Kent], and say "probably" for Eoppa/Ingild). I think this is consistent with your thinking -- or have I missed some key point?
Thanks again for your input (esp. the point about Egbert's age)!"

Note: "As the Milesians were the last of the ancient colonists... only their genealogies, with a few exceptions, have been preserved. The genealogical tree begins, therefore, with the brothers Eber and Eremon, the two surviving leaders of the expedition, whose ancestors are traced back to Magog, the son of Japhet. The great southern chieftains, such as the MacCarthys and O'Briens, claim descent from Eber; the northern families of O'Connor, O'Donnell, and O'Neill, claim Eremon as their head. Ther are also families claiming descent from Emer, the son of Ir, brother to Eber and Eremon; as also from their cousin Lugaidh, the son of Ith. From these four sources the principle Celtic families of Ireland have sprung."
