It is probably a hyperbolic and anachronistic tidbit from 1933 Germany. Evola was an Italian Germanophile, and no one today can trace their full genealogy back 1000 years.

Subject: [evola_as_he_is] Evola genealogy - Hevelar
In the German translation of Imperialismo Pagano (Heidnischer Imperialismus, Armanen Verlag, Leipzig 1933) it is explained by the translator that Evola is descended from a patrician family of Nordic-Norman origin and adds: "Evola = Hevelar". (page 111)
Although Evola never regarded private details as having any significance for his works, this still has certain relevance as a form of "karmic influence" on his thoughts, regardless if he was aware of it or not.
Could Evola actually trace back his lineage to the 11th century norman conquerors of Sicily? Does anyone have further knowledge regarding this genealogical detail?
