FINALLY; THE END OF CONFUSION
(WHICH MEANS THIS IS MY CONCLUSION:)
MY Name, for critics to use; is Dan Bunch.
(DN =DAN NOTE)
(Please excuse the spelling, I have a good excuse, and a Doctor's note:)
As one critic said to me years ago during a rant about a particular magazine article, ( In those days there was actually print on paper! Not just bits n' bytes:) "You just love to see your name up there, don't ya?""Well...yes, that's
the whole point!"
Being a self-ordained genius is not easy, but it is much harder if you have to defend yourself. In other words, the proof should be in the pudding!
This article is not meant to deride, nor say any author or researcher is wrong about any theory of where the "Melungeon" people came from. But instead, it is my conclusion to my study of the subject. Which, until now I have not voiced, nor written for publishing.
First you want to be confident in your conclusions, based upon your correct information ingested, and your thought process is in line with your view of the world. (You have to live in the world and enjoy some of it's, sometimes shocking or cruel truths.)
By view of the world, I mean using your accepted logic. (there are thousands!)
That is why they use "Public education" as a way to get everyone on the "same page", so to speak. So they can understand one another when working together at their chosen endeavors, be that "sweat" jobs, that earn very highly these days! "Blue Collar", which is for the most part "High Tech" today. Or Management, having a tuff time implmenting new "Woke" agendas within the workforce their "Boards" demand.
Where-as the Elite get a "Private education", to seperate their little minds with a much different logic of "their world view".)
(DN: Mine is "Non-Aristolien Logic". Look that up for correct spelling and kicks:)
Then, after a long, in this case, years of running through books; articles; and the internet, as well as rechecking "facts", I waited for time to flow past, letting the controversy from people interested in this subject voice their opinions and argue their views and thoughts about about such a singular historical fact. One in which we were so affected. But in the end leaving us with almost no mention except to say; "They existed - but how?
I thought my thoughts for a few years, waiting for a real researcher or investigator of history to develope anything approaching what I thought about the subject. After all, no shy person such as I wants to stir up controversy or end up with egg on their face, having to answer hundreds of emails from my betters.
So I waited and used my time wisely. Reading about "Aliens" populating the planet with people having discriptions very similar to the "Melungeons" at discovery.
Waiting so as not to be labeled a "hieratic" and further aggravate someone to actually hang me from my own family tree. And I don't mean that less than literally! I now have a handle upon our subject (Which really means I finally have enough courage. Being very old has it's advantages, seen from my end of things.) to feel confidence in my thoughtfull studies,
There is a problem now however. Instead of just "copy and past" for your notes needed of ancient history, you have to deal with highly educated "Woke" individuals with low IQ. I am refering to my opinion of a certain website. Years ago I used it's wonderful pages of information to research many subjects, especially dealing with famous persons in history. But today, because of letting "Woke" editors from the public have the power to "add, edit or change", even deleating previous pages. We now have the ability to use the same search terms to find altered information; condensed down to one thin paragraph about a historical person as you run over the highlighted name with your mouse, and almost nothing about the sometimes cruel truth having to do with the main subject of the site!
In other words, it is, in my opinion, in the form now of "High-brow "Woke" Elitist Blueblooded" low IQ individuals working for Government. Each page now reads in fact like a travel broucher! (Laws won't allow me to mention URL in this context unless I want to spend money I ain't got on lawyers! :)
It's all still there, but having no relation to the pure unaltered simple truth, easily grasped, and having the same flavor of truth in times of brutality of the human spirit.
The wording is used to draw your eyes and mind away from the, at times, murderous doings of the ancients. A distraction of "Places to visit and things to do" while you visit this neck of the woods. Yes, travel here to this land
of 1,000 different kinds of wine, and whiterock caves growing the tastiest mushrooms in bat soil.
Ignore, if you can, your ancient family history about horrible bloodletting,
flowing like rivers to enrich the soil. Above all, you must be distracted from that, so you might see this government as brutal warlike savage rapists, plunderers, and thieves. Actually, there may not have been any government back then. But the powers that be don't like to be painted with the same brush. which is most likely done by those "dumbed down" and suffering from a "Public education" are want to do.
Now for you high-brows, a little copy n' past.

Melun (French pronunciation: [m?lœ~], local pronunciation: [møl?~]is a commune in...
History
Meledunum began as a Gaulish town; Caesar noted Melun as "a town of the Senones, (DN Senones = Gauls) situated on an island in the Seine"; at the island there was a wooden bridge,(DN: two bridges now serve, one on either side of the island. ) which his men repaired. [1] Roman Meledunum was a mutatio where fresh horses were kept available for official couriers on the Roman road south-southeast of Paris, where it forded the Seine.
(DN: interesting word; "Mutatio", isn't it?)
BUY FROM FANATICAL (DN: It was the "Geneiva" of its day, and for ages before history. )
The Normans sacked it in 845. The castle of Melun became a royal residence of the Capetian kings. Hugh Capet (See also: House of Capet) gave Melun to Bouchard, his favorite. In the reign of Hugh's son, Robert II of France, Eudes, the count of Champagne, bought the city, and the king took it back for the viscount in 999. Le Chatelain and his wife, who had sold the city, were hanged. Robert (DN: HUGH CAPET = ROBERT I?) died there in July 1031.
The région is a major tourist destination for international visitors. Of historical interest are the châteaus of Versailles, Mantes-la-Jolie, Rambouillet, Fontainebleau, Vaux-le-Vicomte, and Champs. A large Disneyland theme park in Marne-la-Vallée also is a significant tourist draw.

In the reign of Hugh's son, Robert II of France, Eudes, the count of Champagne, bought the city, but the king took it back for Bouchard in 999. The chatelain Gautier and his wife, who had sold the city, were hanged; Eudes escaped. Robert died there in July 1031.
In July 1415, Melun was besieged by King Henry V of England, who had recently signed the Treaty of Troyes with King Charles VI of France. The town was in the hands of the Dauphin, later Charles VII of France, who had been dispossessed by the treaty. The defenders were led by Arnaud Guillaume, seigneur de Barbazan, and fought off the besiegers for fourteen weeks before capitulating.[6] The town was liberated by Joan of Arc on 17 April 1430.

(DN: By the way, I can quote parts exactly in order to discuss the article, but nothing else. This "Dumbing Down" makes it read like a Chinese travelogue.)
(DN: What they left out, from my reading long ago)
England and France were at war. A treaty, which is the ultimate end to all wars, let the English stop where they were, and own the part of France they had won. Including the isle of Melun.
King Robert I gave it to a friend. A man placed in charge and his wife took it when England was weakened by a distraction. They made themselves King and Queen of Melun Island. That made the rightful King mad! Then they "sold" their island Kingdom. The King of England died, "Long live the King!"
His son, the King, got much angrier! He sent an army to take it back. This took a while, as it is a fortified island. But it finally fell. The victors rode in and promptly hung the usurpers from a bridge.
Now that was short and sweet. My rendition due to not finding my files from long ago. But wait! something was mentioned, but not expounded upon, of the "Buyer" Eudes escaping! But how? Where to? Who else escaped?
Well we will have to use ny remembered reading of years past. By the way, did I tell you I am a genious? :) Well, that's pretty much the way my old brain works these days, due to my many medical problems:) But that is what we have to depend upon as that part seems to be missing from today's travelogue.
Ok. to quit fooling around; the "Buyer", Eudes, of the real estate known as Melun skeedadled. But not by himself! The son of the "Sellers", that is, "Party of the first part", put three or four ships into shape. These ships, loaded with people, but not much food, as that was in short supply after such a long siege, escaped and sailed somehow by sailing down river past English waters, and out into open seas!
(DN: Wait for it;...) And dissapered from history! Where did they go? No one knows.
What happened to them? No one knows.
Maybe they all sunk in a storm? Maybe that became "The lost tribe O,Isrial?
or maybe taken by Pirates and sold as slaves? After all, one of Caeser's most loyal divisions of troops were men from North Africa, which surely intermarried during years spent trying to work out terms during peace talks at Melun. A role that Melun has played for generations before Caeser, and generations after.
As a matter of fact, Melun also later became a hub of airplane engeneering and flight during a couple of World Wars or more.
The Englishmen who found some strange people after the first war with the indians of Virginia, were Adventerous, well educated, from well-connected families. Well-traveled, and very educated. To the point of speaking several languages, including latin, and knowing much of history of Kings, wars, and lands gained and lost from wars, and through treaties. These were no ordinary men. That is to say Ordinary Seaman or some other bold men. These were, for the most part "Second Sons". Sons of "Well To Do" families. Having no chance of inheratance of Castles nor "Freeholds", which by English law and custom go to the "First Born" male. But being in that position, given liberal educations, schooled in the arts, such as music; dancing; poetry, (DN: Very important in the far East, even today!.
It's time to look back at my studies to better understand what these men might have been thinking at the time. And by doing that, you may come to believe as I do. They had it right. But viewing it from our "Pudding Headed" Educators, we
may have seen it from a scewed education. Time to Copy n' Past...using my method of study.

Did you get that first line? "from Old English geon"? And do you remember we are told those strange people spoke Cherokee; old English, one generation out of favor; and another language none of the Englishmen, nor the indians with them knew.
It could have been any language on this Earth, but certainly not Germanic; Dutch; Turkish; Latin; nor Arabic, or Israeli, because that would have been understood. How about Swahilli (SP), a South African language? Nope, although not enumberated here, I'll bet some African slaves were along and would have
"picked up" on these people useing most African Languages.
Yep! I have come to the conclusion. I do think it was and is just that simple. "These people are from 'way over yonder', speaking and living as if they are from Ancient Melun, "Back in the time", before Robert II took the island back for England! "You remember those people that took ship and dissappeared? This must be them!"
Putting thought into the evidence they gathered, just as we just did, and inputting learned history, they made an educated guess! They could have been wrong.
"Yes. Way back in time; Way over yonder; From Melun...."Melungeon"!
