The genealogies involving Arthur get pretty wild. Taliesin was an historic bard, probably serving in the court of Rheged's King Urien, but nothing is known of his genealogy. Nevertheless, a pedigree can be found for him which makes him grandfather of Arthur, and a descendant of Frankish Kings! (As if that weren't enough, in the same fabulous genealogy, his ``wife,'' the Lady of the Lake, is shown as descended from Jesus Christ!)
