It is thought that the Pope in 467AD was Pope Hilarius who was thought to be in control of the Western Roman Empire, although it was actually ruled by the Emperor and controlled by various regional governors. The Pope would not gain the political power to grant lands and other comparable privileges until centuries later. Arthur was loyal to Rome and was a devout religious person, but he had the belief that original sin did not taint human nature and that mortal will is still capable of choosing good or evil without special divine aid, which many of his subjects considered heretical. It has been suggested that the character of King Arthur was based on one Lucius Artorius Castus, a career Roman soldier of the late 2nd century or early 3rd century.

Book IV, Volume One

Decisions, decisions They often have to be made by various of our leaders. Sometimes they are right on but unfortunately some are way off the mark. Decisions that are not well thought out can be very troubling if not down right dangerous. About every generation, leaders of a country decide to enter an armed conflict such as the Civil War, the Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and most recently the War on Terror. A conflict like "war" usually pits nation against nation or allies against allies. This implies that a nation's welfare is at stake and that the nation's population is concerned enough, so that they are willing to fight for their nation's sovereignty - to go to war. This classifies those that that are willing to fight for their country are "Warriors." Not every conflict that is termed "War" means that a nation's sovereignty is at stake. Take for example the most recent conflict that is termed "War on Terror". President H. W. Bush used this term following the aircraft attack on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D. C. The problem with a statement such as that implies that "Warriors" are inflicting terror on various sovereign entities. This kind of terminology is, unintentionally, giving a "Terrorist" too much credit ' Terrorist are not "Warriors." They are, for the most part, murderers. They are common "thugs" or "criminals" and should be treated as such. Rather than calling criminals "Warriors", as the term "War on Terror" implies, shouldn't we be treating the terrorist as criminals and refer to the conflict as to what it should really be, a "Police Action?" For practicle purposes in this book, the author focuses on "Islamic Terrorist" since they are recently the most active. That is not to say that we are willing to ignore the many, many organizations and individuals who use terror as a weapon to foster their ideas about politics, religion or crazy ideas.

The purpose of this book is to tie a lot of loose ends together and focus on England's King Edward the Second who was active in conflicts with France and the beginning of the Hundred Years war in the 14th century. He was incarcerated under Guard of our supposed maternal ancestor John Maltravers. King Edward II was murdered in 1327 while under Maltravers watch. It is an interesting, historical and informative story that was put into a play by William Shakespeare's associate, Christopher Marlowe. The author was introduced to Marlowe in a freshman English class where he did a paper on the playwrite. The play is in the public domain and is included in this story after editing and bringing it up to date with modern words and spelling. Since it was scanned a long time ago, the play was difficult to read and in the editing process, some changes were made but the intent of the story is the same. My wife Vicki and I traveled by surface transport to the western Cotswold's in England in October and November of 2016 to check out some of the places where I had done research on the family.

This story has a mystery novel wrapped into it to make it more interesting and informative. The novel begins by describing the characters in Chapter 2. The main character, Henry, is one of those people who has to communicate with people in many organizations. Many of us have had trouble in dealing with an issue with some organization over the telephone. We have to wait as an automated voice tells us what we need to do next in making a call. This is after telling us to push a button on our phone to let them know in what language we want to communicate. Then we may be told to choose from a menu, telling us what button to push. We are then often advised that the wait time is going to be a number of minutes. Sometimes, the computer generated voice tell us that "due to the call volume" we may need to call back at another time. Often they just tell us to leave a message. In the story, Henry seems to understand all this. He knows that his old childhood friend who works for the CIA has become a criminal and possibly a murderer. He was getting drugs, especially the opiate variety, from an orderly who worked in a medical center. Henry's old friend whose name was Frank was repackaging the stolen drugs after diluting them which made some of the drugs very dangerous. The opioids were in greater supply due to the restriction policies of the FDA. Henry had come to Seattle at the request of Frank but, as he learned more about what was going on, he wanted no part of it. Henry found that people, including Frank, had serious character flaws that hindered his investigations .

This book on ontology was written to construct a foundation for ordering what can be known and understood in considering socioeconomic conditions (both real and abstract) over time and space. It provides the setting for elucidating the processes taking place within and between regions. It provides a way of conceptualizing time and space in a regional context and to illuminating socio-economic conditions. Its purpose is not to offer prescriptions about what should be done to correct regional problems, but to offer conceptual ways in which economic theorists and policy practitioners can examine and perhaps better explain the processes that take place within and across regions.

Edmund was thought by some to be Caleb's father rather than an older brother. Edward Franklyn Browning (EFB) wrote a book in 1908 that was titled "Brownings in America" that was a wonderful book explaining the genealogy of both the southern and northern line in America of the Browning family. EFB makes disclaimers that his book did not always have sources to back up what was printed but that he was diligent in his work and when he did not have a source, he used the best estimates available based on good reasoning. Some people jumped on that reasoning and, . based somewhat on a legal Will, claimed that Edmund was not Caleb's brother, who EFB states was born in 1734. Some say that Edmund was really Caleb's father and that Caleb was born later. Edmund was a good father however as the will indicates. He moved from his birthplace in Virginia where he became a prosperous farmer and land owner. He was married earlier in Virginia and moved to North Carolina in the latter part of the Seventeenth Century

This story is about Jess who descended from a long line of ancestors who lived in Europe, Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri. While there is a lot of speculation about his ancestors, there is also a good deal of disagreement. That is also true in the broader sense. Anyone with an interest in their family's genealogy needs to realize that a single case of infidelity or name change some place along the line can upset the apple cart. This gave Jess's son Jeb, the author of this small tome, the motivation to examine his family's ancestry more closely. He has traveled to the United Kingdom and has done research there as well as sources online. Any genealogy is suspect and has to be examined in the context of time and space. If a suspected ancestor lived at a given time and in a given place based on court and/or parish records one can be fairly certain of the likelihood of a relationship. That isn't to say that it is confirmed nor that the relationship is positive. One can only assume that there may be a relationship.

This compendium of stories is taken from 12 books of the ancestors of the author in America. Most of the stories have dialogue which makes the stories interesting. The stories are based on fact, they are historical fiction which means that when sources are not available the author kind of "ad libs" with words that are in line with the intent of the story. The author hopes that the reader enjoys it because a good time was had putting it all together.
