This story of Smer is starting to look/sound like the creation/documentation of the bible.
Is it fiction, non-fiction, or the truth told with an author's personal bias?
Found a couple of accidemians with THEIR take. They spend a lot of time arguing word semantics and little on facts.
Several argue that the stories of the Pendragon Clan did happen around 1000.
They also document that the stories are based in fact.
They all suggest that the recorder of these stories used a lot of leniencies
Remember that outside of the Christian Church,, 99% of the population did not read nor write. So, that fat frier in the abby creating picture books was more inclined to please the Abbot/Priorate. And the Abbot took orders from the Pope or local peerage
Reminds me of the movie The Name of the Rose (1986) with Sean Connery
I think for now I will leave the linkage and tell my kids and g-kids there may be weak points to the Grand Hertage of the Johnson Clan
