This is the first time I have written a note/blogged on my connection to Spanish nobility. However, it is not that I only have Spanish nobility, but also, England, France, Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Persian, etc. It is more that Spain and Spanish nobility seemed to be strangely missing from my family tree. The point of this blog is the suggestion that all nobility is related, and is the tribe of Judah. So, this presents a huge amount of work for me, as now I should tie this ancestry in with a Biblical ancestry, no easy task.
