The fraudulent pedigree states that John was born a Carrington from Cheshire, son of Carrington-322 and Roos-524, descendant of fictitious Sir Michael Carrington, supposed standard bearer of Richard I. The story was that he had to flee the country because of his ties to Richard II, and that to return safely he changed his name to Smith (Smyth). Richard II was deposed in 1399 and died in 1400. This myth reached its most complex version with the publication of an enormous work compiled by Walter Copinger in 1907[2], and it was in reaction to this work that J. H. Round published his article on the "Smith Carrington imposture" in 1910.[3] | | |
