His explanation of Christ is hilarious. We think of it as a transcription and derivative of Christos, annointed, which is a title, not a name.  He only relates it to the holy Grail Story (San Greal -> SANG REAL, royal blood) started with Eleonore of Acquitaine and Anne Boleyn.  And in relation to ANTI Christ or ANTE-christ he really goes off the deep end. And comes up with an explanation I can't find in any dictionary. But hey ... claiming is one and if there is no rebuttal, it stands right?  But he claims to be a Rosicrucian ...and that is a different can of worms.  From another source I found the Tudors were quite interested in establishing their legitimacy by even looking into Homer. Maybe Raleigh was joking when he equated his niece Elisabeth I as a beloved descendant of King Priam of Troy.  And Geoffrey of Monmouth even dedicated a book to the Aeneas roots of the Kings of Brittain, and derives Brittain from Brutus.
