The Celtic ancestors of clan Montgomery
Here is something I discovered today and that I would like to share with you.
It is known that the founders of the Montgomery clan came from Normandy.
But how many know that the Montgomery family had Scots for ancestors ?
My demonstration :
Roger the First, Lord of Montgomery and Alençon (1020 – 1094)
His mother : Dame Josceline Torfulus de Pont-Audemer de la baronnie de Montgomery et Rouaur (1000 – 1068)
Dame Josceline's father : Thorold, seigneur de Pont-Audemer (970 – 1042)
Thorold's father : Torf, seigneur de Pont-Audemer , Harcourt et Tourville dit le Riche
Torf's father : Vicomte de Bernard de Pont-Audemer Rouen dit le Danois (880 – 955)
Bernard de Pont-Audemer's mother : Groa Thorsteinsdatter of Dublin
Now watch this ! Groa's father : Thorstein Olafsson of Dublin The Red (858 – 888)
Thorstein's mother : Auda Ketilsdatter of the Hebrides also called Djuptenkte (830 - )
And who is Auda's dad ? Huh ? : Kenneth I, king of Scotland (810 – 859)
And from there : Alpin, king of Kintyre ( - 834) and all his glorious ancestors the kings of Dalriada.
Amazing, isn't it ?
Best,
Robert
