JOLLY ROGER
King Roger
was a Templar Norman King who conquered Sicily during the time of the
Kingdom of Jerusalem. Because the Templar's could no longer fly the
Rosy cross, they flew their war flag, of which there were several to
choose from.
The Jolly
Roger is named after King Roger II of Sicily (1095-1154) Roger was a
Templar from the crusades and conquered Apulia and Salerno in 1127
A.D. despite opposition from Pope Innocent II.
His court was
full of dancers, musicians, and entertainers and thus was known as
Jolly Roger! His conflict with the Pope was legendary
especially among seafarers and traders. Jolly Roger was well
known for his palace at Palermo, dedicated to the arts, sciences and
letters.
It is thought
that the Renaissance actually began with events at Jolly Rogers Palace at Palermo. Jolly Roger established a center for Navigation and he employed Jewish and Muslim scholars much to the
Vatican’s disdain.
The Muslim
Scholar Ibn Idrisi produced a Celestial Disc and a terrestrial disc,
both in silver, which represented all the astronomical and
geographical knowledge of that time.
