OK, that's highly debatable I suppose. It's big because
making it Sinclair does give a lot of people some
fairly good royal connections that Douglas does not, if
I recall correctly from when I was doing this up.

I have many differences between mine and Leo's. Most are just
simply because I stop going back into myth on a whim, and
Leo explicitly allows myths to remain if noted.
This is an interesting statement. You will not find on my website those
fabulous ancestors of Charlemange that link him to the Merovingians.
....."I explicitly allow myths to remain if noted".............where did you
get that? When something is noted, I try to investigate and try to have the
most reliable information. At times there are footnotes explaining things.
I find it offensive when you say "Leo _explicitly_ allows myths to remain if
noted".
