re: #93 Dianna
Even Holy Blood, Holy Grail had better sense than to drag the Cathars in. Mostly because the Cathars were deeply opposed to the whole notion (at least in the abstract) of reproduction.
Oh, the Cathars were thrown into that book, not in regards to carrying the blood line, but as far as the treasue they “left” with during the siege of Montserrat was the knowledge of the bloodline.
Of course, this is junk history.
