The Sardonica
describes the Saga as
stuffed with tales of "magical carousal"
including the miraculous and various sexploits
of St Germane and
the
Scintillating Arthorgrim, "who is said to
have fell to the ground, in the space of one
day, with seven hundred and twenty Saxons!"
The Sardonica calls the text remarkable only
for its lurid
attention to the marvelous.

About the MacThoys
It
began in 1995, as a hobby for two cousins (Killian Flynn and Og
MacThoy) researching their shared ancestors in the Clan MacThoy.
The two learned that just as Akhanaten's name
had been blotted from history, a concerted effort was made during the Puritan reforms of the 1600s to eliminate Clan MacThoy from the historical stage.
During their work, Og MacThoy found a quote in the tome,
Anglo-Sardonica. It mentioned a lost text,
Hystorica Calamitatum
(The MacThoy
Saga), referring to it more as "hyper- history"
than history (See side bar.)
Even with this information, neither
men had any idea where it would lead
on
that august day when they presented their
paper to a group of peers.

The story
of this lawless family struck a chord-- not only with
the descendants but with members of varying branches
of academia. Before the two men left the hall,
volunteers offered to assist in the recovery of this
lost history which is compiled on this web site.
It is the fervent hope of the Research Team that the information here
will prove edifying.
