The Tribe of Dan

Geoffrey of Monmouth had written that the kings of Britain were descended from the Trojan Brutus. The Tudors glorified Bmtus descendant King Arthur as the epitome of British Imperial Christianity s kings who rule by divine right. 

John Dee was the son of one of Henry VIII s court officials. Dee believed that he too was descended from the ancient kings of Britain. He believed that he was a distant cousin of Queen Elizabeth I and it is true that the Queen seemed indulge him, keeping him near as her personal astrologer. 

John Dee wove together the threads of British Imperial Christianity from Trojan and Arthurian legends and the Hebrew Kabbalah into the Elizabethan Rosicmcianism. 

The real imperative in Elizabeth Ts time was to counter the forces of Catholicism and finance the defense of Britain through Amsterdam s Jewish merchants and bankers. In 1290, Edward I had expelled the Jews from England. To reunite the English in a common identity with the Jews, Dee renewed the old legends of Britain s Davidic heritage. 

The first record we have of this new British-Israelite identity is from John Sadler in 1649. In his book. Rights to the Kingdom, John Sadler proposed that the English descended from Israel s ten lost tribes.
