Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book proposes that Jews were present in England in substantial
numbers from the Roman Conquest forward. Indeed, there has never
been a time during which a large Jewish-descended, and later
Muslim-descended, population has been absent from England. Contrary
to popular history, the Jewish population was not expelled from
England in 1310, but rather adopted the public face of
Christianity, while continuing to practice Judaism in secret.
Crypto-Jews and Crypto-Muslims held the highest offices in the
land, including service as archbishops, dukes, earls, kings and
queens. Among those we propose were of Jewish ancestry are the
Tudor kings, William the Conqueror, and Thomas Cromwell.
Documentaton in support of this revisionist history includes
contemporary DNA studies, genealogies, church records, place names
and the Domesday Book.
Americans have learned in elementary school that their country was
founded by a group of brave, white, largely British Christians.
Modern reinterpretations recognize the contributions of African and
indigenous Americans, but the basic premise has persisted. This
groundbreaking study fundamentally challenges the traditional
national storyline by postulating that many of the initial
colonists were actually of Sephardic Jewish and Muslin Moorish
ancestry. Supporting references include historical writings, ship
manifests, wills, land grants, DNA test results, genealogies, and
settler lists that provide for the first time the Spanish, Hebrew,
Arabic, and Jewish origins of more than 5,000 surnames, the
majority widely assumed to be British. By documenting the
widespread presence of Jews and Muslims in prominent economic,
political, financial and social positions in all of the original
colonies, this innovative work offers a fresh perspective on the
early American experience.
The popular image of Scotland is dominated by widely recognised
elements of Celtic culture. But could it be that a significant
non-Celtic influence on Scotland's history has been largely ignored
or unknown for centuries? This book argues just such a case,
maintaining that much of Scotland's history and culture from 1100
forward is Jewish. The authors provide evidence that much of the
population, including several national heroes, villains, rulers,
nobles, traders, merchants, bishops, guild members, burgesses, and
ministers, was of Jewish descent. They describe how the ancestors
of these persons originated in France and Spain and then made their
way to Scotland's shores, moors, burgs and castles from the reign
of Malcolm Canmore to the aftermath of the Spanish Inquisition. It
is proposed here that much of the traditional historical account of
Scotland rests on fundamental interpretive errors, and that these
errors have been perpetuated in order to manufacture and maintain
an origin for Scotland that affirms its identity as a Celtic,
Christian society. This equation of Scotland with Celtic culture in
the popular (and academic) imagination has buried a more accurate
and profound understanding of its history. The authors'
wide-ranging research includes examination of census records,
archaeological artifacts, castle carvings, cemetery inscriptions,
religious seals, coinage, burgess and guild member rolls, noble
genealogies, family crests, portraiture, and geographic place
names.
