In England the term 'kings highway' is traceable to 859 AD in an Earle Land Chart (an Earl in Anglo Saxon times was the same as a Count in Anglo-Norman times and thereafter, so, for Earle read Counte or, County in modern English), The annotation says, "...'''''cyniges heiweg'''''..." (Oxford English Dictionary online accessed 15:04 gmt 25 July 2012) which throws up an interesting probability that it was asserted and protected by a secretive guild of freemasons even then (see Wikipedia article [[County surveyor]]). In Wales the term is traceable to 950 AD through the [[Laws of Hywel Dda]] cited in 'Roads and Trackways of Wales' by Richard Colyer, which throws up a likely connotation that the King they were being asserted, protected, and preserved for was the King of Kings, Jesus Christ, because we Welsh were a pious lot then, and some of us still are. I'm looking forward to being engaged in this project and a member of this august team of Highwaymen! |
