Chapter 12 The Tribe of Dan
In his desire to divorce Catherine of Aragon and remarry, Henry
VIII lobbied the Pope on grounds of whether a man could marry his
brother's widow. To strengthen his case, Henry sent the secret agent
Richard Croke to Venice in 1529 to consult with the Jewish Rabbis and a
Christian Cabalist theologian called Georgi. 600
The Pope declined so Henry VIII wrenched the English Church
from him and declared himself both the supreme political and spiritual
leader of England. In the ensuing cold war with the Vatican, the English
monarch sought to justify his break from Catholicism by claiming a
legitimate Davidic spiritual destiny to uphold Christianity by divine right
– known as British Imperial Christianity.
Geoffrey of Monmouth had written that the kings of Britain were
descended from the Trojan Brutus. 601 The Tudors glorified Brutus’
descendant King Arthur as the epitome of British Imperial Christianity’s
kings who rule by divine right.
John Dee was the son of one of Henry VIII's court officials. Dee
believed that he too was descended from the ancient kings of Britain. He
believed that he was a distant cousin of Queen Elizabeth I and it is true
that the Queen seemed indulge him, keeping him near as her personal
astrologer.
John Dee wove together the threads of British Imperial
Christianity from Trojan and Arthurian legends and the Hebrew Kabbalah
into the Elizabethan Rosicrucianism.
The real imperative in Elizabeth I’s time was to counter the forces
of Catholicism and finance the defense of Britain through Amsterdam’s
Jewish merchants and bankers. In 1290, Edward I had expelled the Jews
from England. To reunite the English in a common identity with the
Jews, Dee renewed the old legends of Britain’s Davidic heritage.
The first record we have of this new British-Israelite identity is
from John Sadler in 1649. In his book, Rights to the Kingdom, John
Sadler proposed that the English descended from Israel's ten lost tribes.
Sir Francis Bacon continued John Dee’s Rosicrucianism. He
discussed a new British-Jewish alliance in his book titled New Atlantis. It
was influential in having the Jews readmitted to Britain in 1664.
The Welsh Triads are among the earliest of all British records that
relate to the origins of the Celtic peoples. Although imperfect due to a
