"In 666, probably still in Ireland, Dagobert married Mathilde, a Celtic princess." - 31:247

"The Merovingian kings were noted sorcerers in the manner of the Samaritan Magi…" - 29:171

"There was a very great 'Jewish' component among the Sicambrian Franks/Merovingians and, because they practiced polygamy (another Merovingian peculiarity) they left a great number of offspring. These aristocratic Merovingian children married into almost all of the noble families of Europe during the 5th, 6th, and 7th centuries. This has prompted more than one historian to suggest that the foundation of European nobility is Jewish!" - 261:180

"There are at least a dozen families in Britain and Europe today – with numerous collateral branches – who are of Merovingian lineage. These include the House of Hapsburg-Lorraine… Plantard, Luxembourg, Montpezat, Montesque, and various others. According to the 'Prieuré documents' the Sinclair family in Britain is also allied to the bloodline, as are various branches of the Stuarts… In many of its documents the Sion asserts that the new king, in accordance with Merovingian tradition, would 'rule but not govern'. In other words he would be a priest-king who functions primarily in a ritual and symbolic capacity; and the actual business of governing would be handled by someone else – conceivably by the Prieuré de Sion." - 31:409-10

Robert the Bruce was far more than an "early Scottish King." He was a high born Merovingian:

Priest-King of the Celtic Church

liberator of Scotland from England

Sovereign Grand Master of the Order of the Knights Templar

founder of the Order of the Rosy Cross

“When Hugues de Payens and the Knights Templar had first returned from Jerusalem in 1128, they brought with them the secrets of the Master Mason, Hiram Abiff, the builder of Solomon's Temple. However, their Jerusalem excavations had also led to other important discoveries, including some ancient documentation which enabled them to challenge certain Roman Church doctrine and New Testament interpretations, particularly in relation to the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. For this reason, the Knights Templar refused to bear the upright Latin Cross, and wore an eight-pointed, centered cross as their emblem…

"In 1307…Under the auspices of Robert the Bruce and the excommunicated clergy, the Order was restructured into a Church, with a hierarchy quite independent of Rome. The Templar Church had abbots, priests, and even bishops… The Knights began to train the army of Robert the Bruce in the hit-and-run tactics of warfare established in the Crusades… The Roman Church may have betrayed the Templars, but in Scotland they found something far more trustworthy and tangible: a sacred royal house and a Priest-King of the Celtic Church succession…

"…The King of Scots was installed as the hereditary Sovereign Grand Master, and from that time, whichever descending King held that office, he was to be known as 'Saint Germain.' A new Order was then formed, called the Elder Brothers of the Rosy Cross, and several of the Rosy Cross Knights then sailed to France for a meeting with Pope John XXII at Avignon…

"Many historians have presumed therefore that the Knights Templars must have disbanded in Scotland, but this was not the case; it was simply that Bruce had contrived the secret Order to become even more secretive. Indeed, the Order of the Knights of the Rosy Cross had been established by Bruce for Templars who had been valiant at Bannockburn, and this was a very successful cover." (Prince Michael Stewart, The Forgotten Monarchy of Scotland, pp. 60-1, 63-65)
