	King Leir
		But Leir is to Lear as The Taming of A Shrew is to The Taming of The Shrew as Famous Victories is to the Henry IV plays and Henry V.
		So Leir's plan is to test which daughter loves him best; when Cordella insists she does, he'll spring the insistence then that she obey him and marry according to his choosing.
		Leir is pleased, but Cordella is secretly disgusted at the smarmy flattery.

	Geoffrey of Monmouth and the History of the Kings of Britain by Sheila Brynjulfson
		In this brief summary of the early history of Britain lies the essence of Geoffrey's historical method: he is a bold and unrepentant revisionist.
		Britain's centuries-old role as doormat for any group of would-be invaders was undoubtedly humiliating.
		His nephew Mordred, to whom he had entrusted the care of Britain while he was away, had committed an act of extreme treachery by seizing the crown and taking Arthur's queen for himself.

		After the death of Porrex and Ferrex the land of Britain was divided among Rudaucus, king of Wales; Clotenus, king of Cornwall; Pinor, king of Loegria; Statorius, king of Albania; and Yevan, king of Northumberland for 48 years -- 482-434.
		To even establish themselves a foot-hold in Britain there were MANY battles, and some of the greatest military leaders in British history came forth to defeat the Romans many times.
		The famous woman military leader was "Boadicea" and there is a fine sculptured monument of her in her chariot [famous chariots with the large long "scythes" of sword blades extending out from the wheels] in London to this very day.

		Which advantage the Britains quickly spying, and on a sudden uniting what before they had disjoin'd, assail by night with all their forces that part of the Roman Army which they knew to be the weakest; and breaking in upon the Camp, surpris'd between sleep and fear, had begun some Execution.
		The Britains also not acknowledging the loss of that day to Roman Valour, but to the policy of their Captain, abated nothing of their stoutness; but arming their youth, conveying their Wives and Children to places of safety, in frequent Assemblies, and by solemn Covenants bound themselves to mutual assistance against the common Enemy.

	A summary on Dr Leir
		This matter took a new turn in 1995 when Dr Roger K. Leir, podiatric physicien and surgeon in California, accepted to extract an implant spotted by radiography in the foot of an alleged abductee, a case which was presented to him by Texan researcher Derrel Sims.
		Leir has presented that case at the conferences in Laughlin, March 2000, and MUFON Symposium of July 2001.
		When Leir first contacted Colonel Alexander, on advice of his cousin Kenneth Ring who knew him as a scientific researcher, in his words "a brillant scientists who had worked with him in the NDE field" (p 87), he reacted promptly.

		An important point of emphasis for us will be the ideological functions of the work both for Geoffrey himself and for this particular audience, who would have been eager to hear about historical precedents that legitimated their rule.
		Geoffrey’s book traces the history of Britain from its earliest settlement to the last British king, Cadwallader, in the seventh century; but it is most famous for its account of the reign of Arthur that is presented as occuring two centuries earlier.
		This historical myth has an especially potent force for the Norman rulers of England, for it implies that their defeat of the Anglo-Saxons and conquest of the island is not an invasion or a usurpation, but a reclaiming of Britain by the race of Aeneas.

		There are also in existence ancient manuscripts and records showing the genealogies of a number of our old British and Welsh families, which trace their descent through Brutus to Dardanus.
		The Cymry of Britain have sprung from the continental Kimmerians, who were once sovereigns of the Kimmerian Bosphorus (Crimea)." After the Kimmerians came the Scytbians and the Saxons who came to Britain in the fifth century A.D. were a Scythian tribe.
		There is ample evidence of the whole Anglo-Saxon peoples leaving Germany." The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles state that when the Angles and the Saxons came across to Britain they came in a body, leaving few of their kindred behind.

	Lugodoc's Guide to Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain
		The Trojan Aeneas fled with his son Ascanius and conquered Italy, and when Ascanius' son Brutus was kicked out for accidentaly killing his dad in a hunting accident he ended up in Greece where he liberated the descendants of all the other Trojans who hadn't escaped and had been enslaved by their conquerors.
		The new inhabitants settled the islands of Britain and Brutus' pagan dynasty ruled for centuries, including King Leir (as made famous by Shakespeare), until in AD 43 the islands were conquered by The Romans.
		Unfortunately this left a civilised, weakened Christian Britain ill-prepared to face the onslaught of invading barbarian pagan tribes of Irish, Scots, Picts, Norwegians and Danes.

	Brotherston (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Announced as a 'true chronicle historie' in the first quarto edition of 1608, Shakespeare's King Lear was nominally removed from the domain of history in the folio edition of 1623, seven years after the author's death, and assigned to the category 'tragedy'.
		In terms of geopolitics, this re-allocation of Lear corresponds to a more general redefinition of British that culminated in James's embodiment of the Union (1603-), shortly before the play was staged before him.
		For seen to presuppose an England that is the one of three (rather than one of three), the newly-spelt Lear in effect signifies a terminal rupture with Leir and the Celtic line that had been a mainspring of drama under the Tudors.

		She is described as on of the "three matriarchs of Britain," which may be a reference to an older triple goddess of sovereignty.
		This may also be where the Twelfth Century writer, Geoffrey of Monmouth, got the idea that the mythical King Leir of Britain, who is derived from Llyr, had three daughters.
