Aeneas Lavinium is the pseudonym of British-based Counterjihad blogger [1] Chris Knowles. Knowles was suspended from his post in the children's services department of Leeds City Council in 2011 after Unite Against Fascism exposed him as a director of the well funded US-based Centre for Vigilant Freedom.[2]

Background
In a YouTube interview with Politically Incorrect, Aeneas stated "I come from a small town just outside Leeds. It's not very Islamised. There are certain parts of Leeds that are Islamised."[3]
Center for Vigilant Freedom
In an 8 July 2007 blog comment at the Lionheart blog, Aeneas invited Paul Ray to join the Center for Vigilant Freedom's blog network, stating:
- I am a member of the Center for Vigilant Freedom (CVF)/910 Group. I listened to your excellent interview on the Gathering Storm Blog Talk Radio show and wanted to make you aware of an alternative media network that was highlighted on the show.
- We are in the very early stages of developing a 24-7 media nework. Would you be interested in becoming involved.[4]
