Citing and Quoting very briefly, three key points.
SEE FULL INFO AT: (URL: https://treasure1.tripod.com/wilson.html.)
QUOTE-1: (HIGHER EDUCATION):
Cardiff University, where "he took a degree in Economics and History and also managed to study archaeology for two years and passed the exams."
(Briefly quoting from Hassell, 2003; see full article for context and additional info.)
QUOTE-2: (EMPLOYMENT OCCUPATIONS):
"Alan used his Economics qualification to work in Industry. Although History was his favorite subject and still is. He achieved managerial status and worked as an international consultant in heavy engineering and shipbuilding. ... He was the Swedish" consultant sent into the Upper Clyde shipyards in 1972 to Master plan the reconstruction after the Workers staged a famous work-in by barricading themselves in the yards and continuing to work whilst preventing the management from entering. ...
"Alan later worked in Italy on the complete rebuilding of the Riva Trigoso Warship Yards which were redesigned to build the Lupo Class of destroyers and a large class of Frigates. Alan was later transferred to Ancona where he Master planned another near total reconstruction to build Panamax ships - = maximum size ship that can go through the Panama Canal.
"Alan was skilled in organizing thousands of men in dozens of departments and in dozens of trades and industries using millions of man-hours and a huge variety of machinery and tools and services, - to get the desired result."
(Briefly quoting from Hassell, 2003; see full article.)
QUOTE-3 (FIRST LOVE, HISTORY, SOLO & COLLABORATIVE):
"About 1950 Alan started to take an interest in his own history and in doing so started a long slow process of evolution that would take him all the way back to the Dark Ages and eventually King Arthur. At first he was on his own visiting his libraries in Cardiff delving into books in search of the truth about the legendary King."
" In fact he became a regular visitor and was always on the lookout for old rare manuscripts that he used as references. One day he realized that someone else was looking for the same books as he was, that person was Baram Blackett who was told by the librarian that Alan had the book he was seeking.
"Baram introduced himself to Alan and as a result decided to pool their efforts in order to speed up things. Alan was skilled in organizing thousands of men in dozens of departments and in dozens of trades using millions of man hours and a huge variety of machinery and tools and services, - to get the desired result.

THE FOLLOWING BIO-SKETCH WAS PREPARED BY RHB (24 May 2024)
RESEARCH WEBSITE:
(URL: https://web.archive.org/web/20010203124800/http://kingarthur.fsnet.co.uk/.)
Research began in 1956 into neglected politically incorrect records. These detail King Arthur I of the late Fourth Century and King Arthur II of the Sixth Century in prolific detail. Outstanding discoveries have resulted much to the discomfort of the establishment.
INTRODUCTION:
After forty two years of historical research there have been momentous tangible discoveries. As President Harry Truman of the United States once said: "The only new thing in the world, is the History which you do not know."
"King Arthur" was never lost, nor were all the histories lost. They were simply painted over and concealed. The propaganda result of secular politics and religious politics in Britain during the 18th, 19th, and 20th Century, was the total obliteration of almost the entire ancient History of Britain. The ancient Records simply fell into oblivion, because they did not support what was deemed to be "politically correct". For the first time the stale speculations and Victorian anachronisms are appropriately left far behind.
"King Arthur" of the Mediaeval Romances was a composite figure. His feats as in the Eighth century Brut Tysillio, and in the twelfth century Brut Gruffydd ap Arthur - alias "Geoffrey of Monmouth" - illustrate him fighting and defeating the Romans in the Fouth Century AD, and also battling with the Saxons, Angles, and others, in the Sixth Century. As Polydore Vergil the court historian of King Henry VIII pointed out he was an impossible figure of 250 years old.
The discarded and abused Records, which are for political reasons ignored,tell a very different story. They very clearly and firmly accurately illustrate two well known and easily traceable Kings named Arthur who make up the foreign French, Breton, and German, impossible Romantic figure. It is not possible to "lose" major Kings in British Historical Records. Such claims are nefarious chicanery.
Arthur I son of Magnus Maximus (Mascen Wledig) and Ceindrech daughter of Rheiden, invaded Europe in AD 383, as commander of his father's armies. He did beseige Paris as in later Romances, and he did seize the Lady St Genevieve of Paris - a Guinevere figure. Arthur I then met the Roman armies at Soissons - "Sassy" in Geoffrey of Monmouth - where he defeated the Emperor Gratian, who he captured and executed at Lugdunum-Lyons. The memorial stone and grave mound are revealed.
Arthur II was son of King Meurig son of King Tewdrig son of Teithrin the Subtle son of Tathal son of Arthur I son of Magnus Maximus. This is the King who fought epic battles with Angles, Saxons, Picts, Irish, and others. He had at least two wives named Gwenhwyfawr and Gwenhwyfach This is the tragic Arthur of the Romance tales.Four inscribed stones and the grave of this monarch are known
Once we have identified these two Arthurs the task of delving through the multitudious copious detailed records, which officially are not supposed to exist, can begin.The results are extraordinary. As Professor John Morris of London said in his Age of Arthur, "the problem is not one of a shortage of information, instead there is too much information."
KNIGHTHOOD:
"British researchers working with The Welsh Cultural Endeavor have been knighted"
Posted by admin on Jun 15, 2016 in Blog, Featured, News | 0 comments
"We are pleased to announce that researchers in Britain who work closely with The Welsh Cultural Endeavor of Northeastern Pennsylvania have received high honors from a king whose own journey and plight to be recognized reflects their own.
Alan Wilson of Wales and Englishman Baram Blackett will be knighted, effective, June 29, 2016, by King Kigeli V of Rwanda. The date coincides with the king's 80th birthday. Wilson and Blackett have been at the forefront of research into the true history of Wales and Britain despite criticism from their peers and academics, and now they are being honored for it.
For nearly four years, The Welsh Cultural Endeavor has been working to preserve and propagate a lifetime's worth of research painstakingly gathered by Wilson and Blackett. In the rolling hills of Wales, the two have uncovered an ancient language, undeniable evidence of the first-century Christian church in Wales and proof that the famed King Arthur II, whose name and feats have been fictionalized and fantasized for centuries, was a warm-blooded Welshman who once traveled to America and died at the hands of attacking Native Americans in the sixth century.
"King Kigeli V recognizes the efforts of Wilson and Blackett and reflected this in a proclamation. He commended the two for their meticulous forensic investigations, which were often completed at great personal cost. King Kigeli V has conveyed to them the Grand Cross of the Royal Order of the Lion of Rwanda.
"George C. Horwatt, founder and President of The Welsh Cultural Endeavor, has been named the king's emissary to Wilson and Blackett and has worked tirelessly to coordinate their knighting. Wilson and Blackett join the ranks of African leaders to be knighted by the Rwandan king, most notably the late South African President Nelson Mandela.
QUOTE: "We only read the records. If it's not in the records we don't put it in the book. If it's not on a piece of parchment or on a stone tablet or a β¦ jug or on a grave or whatever, it doesn't go in the book. If the site isn't there on a map and you can't stand on it, it doesn't go in the book. We're not interested in extrapolating or in interpreting or speculating in our research, be weird if we didn't. It's a seminal work. Nobody else has bothered for 300 years at least. We always admit the mistake β if we've made the mistake, we've got that wrong β and it's the right way to go." ~ Alan Wilson, during a 2010 conference in Bath, England.
"Since being granted political asylum in the U.S. in 1992, King Kigeli V, who has a United Nations resolution from the 1960s calling for his return to the throne, has lived a modest life outside of Washington, D.C., and he remains devoted to serving Rwandans throughout the diaspora resulting from the tribal tensions in the 1990s.
Much like the Rwandan king, Wilson and Blackett have long been denied legitimacy in Wales. As an organization committed to preserving Welsh heritage and culture in the United States, we see the truth in their findings and feel obligated to help protect the knowledge they have gathered. As an organization committed to preserving Welsh heritage and culture in the United States, we see the truth in their findings and feel obligated to help protect the knowledge they have gathered.
""In recognition of original research, often at great personal cost, demonstrating 40 years of meticulous forensic investigations into the beginnings of ancient Britain and that the famed King Arthur was two historical individuals, His Majesty King Kigeli V of Rwanda, the last king to reign in Rwanda, has awarded the Grand Cross of the Royal Order of the Lion of Rwanda to Alan Wilson and Anthony Thomas (Baram) Blackett. Other notable historical awardees of the same Order are Sir Conrad Swan, Garter Principal King of Arms; Sir James Carlisle, Governor General of Antigua and Barbuda; His Majesty King Mwambutsa IV of Burundi; His Majesty Sir Edward Mutesa, King of Buganda; His Majesty King Hussein of Jordan; His Excellency Nelson Mandela, President of South Africa; His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia; and other awardees." ~ Statement from His Majesty's Private Secretary regarding the knighthoods for Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett.."

THE INDEPENDENT-THINKING HISTORIANS:
(1) BROADSTOCK (died first):
Asst, [Kelvin] Ross Broadstock who has been promoting the work of historical researchers and authors Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett. Wilson and Blackett suffered years of intimidation when they were publishing books about King Arthur and British history from around 1980. These historians have never been tied to any academic establishment which means they've always been free to go where others have feared to tread. Much of their work and findings you will not find being taught in school or university history lessons. Ross Broadstock has worked tirelessly over the last four years to make Wilson and Blacketts books available via the website BritainsHiddenHistory.co.uk. He has also had some of their work re-published and helped them publish new books containing research which is only now seeing the light of day. Historical claims are often difficult to verify or prove, and healthy debate continues about many of these subjects. The problem with mainstream history institutions is they refuse to look at new claims and evidence which might cause them to have to re-evaluate preconceived histories.

(2) WILSON (died second):
R.I.P. ALAN WILSON (1932-2023)
NOTE: "The sad news today (Wed 30/31 August 2023) is that Alan Wilson has passed away. He was one of the most extraordinary and intelligent people I have ever met. Many would say he was eccentric but that to my way of thinking is often a complement. As an historian (he had a degree with History and Economics) his approach was both intuitive and forensic. I think of him as the last of the Welsh bards. It's not that he was a poet but rather he championed the traditional history of these islands, a subject that few people know even exists. He, along with his faithful colleague and friend, Tony 'Baram' Blackett, made many discoveries and wrote about these in numerous books. I suspect these will, in future times, be collectors' items. I wish him well in his journey now to the great unknown. I feel sure he will be greeted there with open arms."

"Alan Wilson historian 1932-2023. It is with great sadness that we say farewell to forensic historian, mentor and friend, Alan Wilson, who passed away on the 30th of August 2023. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere condolences to the family, and to Allan's longtime colleague, Anthony Blackett. In 1956 Alan Wilson began to realize that the history of the South Wales region that was being presented to the people [was] virtually unrelated to the evidence that was lying around in abundance. In 1976 Alan Wilson and his colleagues started their research project aimed at reviving correct and accurate ancient British history. Alan Wilson viewed the history of Britain as an inalienable right and property of the British Nation. His research included uncovering The Unbroken Welsh Royal lineage from the [Trojan] Kings to Constantine the
Great and King Arthur, of whom the[y] were primary two. He also unraveled false timelines such as the actual end of the
Trojan War. Wilson revealed Madoc Mor[fren]'s actual year of escape to America. A big highlight were Alan's translations of the Egyptian holographics using the Cymric language. Alan Wilson's work deserves recognition and publicity we continue to spread the word. Rest in peace Alan Wilson we're still here.

QUOTED:
"There was not one mighty King Arthur of Britain, but two very powerful, and remarkably successful Kings both known as Arthur.
"One was Arthur son of Magnus Maximus and Ceindrech daughter of Rheiden, who was born around AD 344 and who died around AD 400.
"This Arthur conquered all of Western Europe between AD 383-388, and captured Paris, the stronghold of the Lady St Genevieve - who becomes the Lady Guinevere of the confused Romantic Arthurian tales we have all come to know.
"The other was his direct sixth generation descendant Arthur II son of King Meurig (Maurice) and Queen Onbrawst, born c AD 503 and died AD 579. Both copiously recorded.
"The deliberate mistake was to weld these two powerful kings into one 250 years old impossible "King Arthur" who fought the Romans and killed their Emperor Gratian at Soissons in AD 383, and who then fought the Jutes, Angles, Saxons, and others in the mid 6th Century.
"All this is well recorded and was well known by British scholars, but most modern academics do not grasp these simple foundation facts, because they do not read the ancient manuscripts, and have instead become indoctrinated into a belief system based on incorrect information.
"Most people read books written by modern authors and academics, most of whom cite one another without actually going back to check out the earliest sources available for themselves. It is easier for people to believe the "experts" truly know their subject, than to start from scratch by laboriously investigating all the old records themselves. Well Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett chose to do just that, and this website holds only a fraction of their research.
"This research is very unwelcome to the entrenched academic, political, and religious establishment in Britain, and should give the reader some idea of the mass array of other similar criminal frauds that English academics have dutifully perpetrated on behalf of their Political and Religious masters for three hundred years. Be sure to read the section concerning the German Hanoverians on the history page of this website, which casts more light on the origins of the problems."

PARAPHRASED, ACCORDING TO ALAN WILSON, ANCIENT BRITISH HISTORY WAS CHANGED IN 1846, JUST AS ANCIENT AMERICAN HISTORY WAS CHANGED IN 1492, NOTHING OF THE EXTANT RECORD WAS ACCEPTABLE BEFORE THAT TIME.

Two people have died in separate house fires in the last 24 hours, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service has confirmed
The two separate fires took place overnight in Newcastle and Sunderland. The first emergency call was received by TWFRS's Fire Control team last night (Thursday December 14) at 11.20pm, with a report of a house fire on Benwell Lane in Newcastle.
Three fire engines were dispatched to the scene, with a further three and an Aerial Ladder Platform dispatched as the incident developed. Firefighters entered the building and located a 64-year-old man who was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
Three fire engines were on the scene in a matter of minutes, with crews rescuing a 66-year-old man from the building. He was given oxygen and first aid, until paramedics arrived and took him to hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Stewart Nicholson, TWFRS deputy chief fire officer, said: "Our thoughts go out to the families of both men during this incredibly difficult time. Any death in the region is a tragedy and we are working hard alongside Northumbria Police in a joint investigation into the circumstances of each fire.
"We would also like to pass on our thoughts to the emergency service crews who attended the fires, and for their efforts in rescuing the causalities."
A spokesperson for Northumbria Police said: "These are two very tragic incidents and our thoughts are with the loved ones of both men at this difficult time. We remain committed to establishing the causes of both fires and officers are working together with investigators from Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service at this time." The next of kin for the deceased have been informed of their passing.
