The Courtenays of Rougemont Castle descend from King David The authors of the book 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail' claim that a un- named family in Devonshire Endland is a member of the Rex Deus, meaning they are a family descended from Jesus, and thus King David. I have found that family, the Courtenays, who lived in Rougemont castle in Denvonshire. In 'The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization' we read in a chapter titled the 'Digression On The Family Of Courtenay' this passage that says the Courtnays made a claim they descend from King David, and obtained the opinion of twenty lawers to prove it. The reference to "the trade of a carpenter" can only refer to Jesus. "It was not till the end of the sixteenth century, on the accession of a family almost as remote as their own, that the princely spirit of the Courtenays again revived; and the question of the nobility provoked them to ascertain the royalty of their blood. They appealed to the justice and compassion of Henry the Fourth; obtained a favorable opinion from twenty lawyers of Italy and Germany, and modestly compared themselves to the descendants of King David, whose prerogatives were not impaired by the lapse of ages or the trade of a carpenter. ^76 But every ear was deaf, and every circumstance was adverse, to their lawful claims."
