The Order is currently a dynastic order connected to the House of Bentheim, which is considered the legal successor to the Counts of Holland. The Order is first mentioned in surviving documents in a chronicle from the beginning of the 14th century (Chronicle of Holland, of the clerk from the low countries by the sea […]). This article's objective is to see whether the current Order of Saint James is a legitimate successor of the ancient Order.

One branche of this Order, the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem, has been put in a negative light by members of other Orders, especially when it comes to the historical line of descent of the Order. This article demonstrates that these criticisms are unwarranted. By tracing their roots back to a common source and analysing the historical events that led to their eventual divergence, this study sheds light on the complex relationships among knightly orders and potentially pave the way for future collaboration.

The Knights Templar, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, became an important charity throughout Christendom, thus growing rapidly and becoming a very powerful Christian institution. The knights were prominent in international finance and were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades. In 1307, Philip IV of France arrested the Knights Templar on charges of blasphemy, idolatry, and sodomy. The investigation and trial into the alleged misdeeds of the Knights Templar took place in Rome between 1307 and 1312. On 18 March 1314, the Grandmaster and other knights of the Order were burned alive by order of King Philip. In September 2001, Barbara Frale, an Italian paleographer, found a copy of a document, known as the ‘Chinon Parchment in the Vatican Secret Archives. The document explicitly confirms that in 1308, Pope Clement V absolved Jacques de Molay and other leaders of the Order including Geoffroi de Charney and Hugues de Pairaud (Barbara Frale 2004, “The Chinon chart – Papal absolution to the last Templar, Master Jacques de Molay”, Journal of Medieval History 30 (2): 109–134). Another Chinon parchment, dated 20 August 1308 and addressed to Philip IV of France, stated that absolution had been granted to all those Templars that had confessed to heresy “and restored them to the Sacraments and to the unity of the Church” (Pierre Dupuy, Histoire de l’Ordre Militaire des Templiers Foppens, Brusselles 1751; Étienne Baluze, Vitae Paparum Avenionensis, 3 Volumes, Paris 1693. Nonetheless, the Pope suspended the order.

In particular, the article investigates to what extent these traditions have survived since Portugal became a republic in 1910.

This is in line with the spirit of their ancient and original predecessors, that also focused on protecting the vulnerable. In many cases a person of royal descent is attracted as a patron to give the Order more cachet. This article provides recommendations regarding these Royal Patrons. In a case study, the article focuses on the Orléans obedience of the Order of Saint Lazarus, although more branches of this international Order of Knighthood exist, each recognising their own Grand Master.

The guests are invited by the foreign country, which acts as the official host for the duration of the state visit. An exchange of honours took place during the state visit of the Queen to the United Arab Emirates and Oman in November 2010.
This article examines the tradition of exchanging honours in a political context and compares this tradition to the conventional requirements for the granting of official honours. The article focuses on The Netherlands, but it is reasonable to assume that its findings are applicable to many countries across Europe.

He is since then designated as GarraíEoin Brian Ó Súilleabháin MhicRaith.
This article addresses the question to what extent the claims of Dr. O’Sullivan are, from a historical and legal perspective, legitimate.
I start by addressing the nature of ancient Irish society, since this puts the older genealogy of the O’Sullivan family in a broader perspective. Then, I explain the main characteristics of Irish family history in order to understand the difficulties that Irish genealogists face. Subsequently, I describe Dr. O’Sullivan’s line of succession, which is the core of the study.
The relations between the Spanish and Irish nobility need to be mentioned in order to understand the relevance of the registration of the coat of arms of Dr. O’Sullivan by Don Alfonso de Ceballos-Escalera y Gila, Marques de la Floresta, as Chronicler of Arms for Castile and León.
The aforementioned paragraphs form the basis for the conclusions of this study.

When a member of the higher nobility (hereafter called “prince” or “princess”, but the concept also applies to certain dukes and duchesses and even counts and countesses) marries another prince or princess, the marriage is said to be one between two people who hold the same social status by birth. When this is not the case, issues can arise with regard to the succession to the headship of the House. The same disputes arise in cases of dynastic succession in the female line. In both instances, ancient House laws play an important role.
This article shows that these House laws need to be modernized or even disabled to prevent extinction of historical dynasties. The reason is that so-called “unequal marriages”, as well as succession in the female line, are crucial for ancient dynasties to remain relevant in modern times.

The state has granted the Chief Herald the power to devise and grant new arms (personal or corporate); to register arms which have already been in use locally for many years; and to register arms previously granted by appropriate foreign authorities.
As part of the political decision-making process in recent years, it was decided to see whether the newly-established Office of the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta would attract enough interest from the public, before passing on to the next logical step and ask Parliament to pass specific legislation to formally embed heraldry in the laws of Malta. The results exceeded the expectations and draft legislative proposals were prepared, implementing comments by Malta’s National Ombudsman.
This article describes the current legal framework of the Chief Herald of Malta for issuing coats of arms.

Historical context Saigon. Le Théâtre Municipal in 1910. From 1955 to 1975 the building was used as the seat of the lower house of parliament of the republic of (south) Vietnam. Then, it became a theatre again. Since a restoration 1998 the building looks much as it did when built in 1900.

De Orde voert zijn legendarische geschiedenis terug tot keizer Constantijn de Grote en ontleent hieraan ook zijn naam. Aan het hoofd van de Orde staat een grootprior; kardinaal Marcello Semeraro, prefect van het Dicasterie voor de heiligverklaringen. De beleving van het geloof, de spiritualiteit van het kruis en caritas staan centraal. Dit artikel beschrijft de acceptatie van de Orde door andere ridderlijke orden.

The question of who would have inherited the throne if the monarchy had continued remains a topic of interest and debate. The article answers the question who can be considered the legitimate heir to this historical lineage. It uses the former legislation of the Empire as a guideline.

He is a member of the Académie des sciences morales et politiques since 1994. Tulard was one of the experts involved in verifying the heart believed to be that of Louis XVII of France, actually the Dauphin of France as the heir apparent to the throne, who died in 1795 in imprisonment. Scientists using DNA samples from Queen Anne of Romania, and her brother Andre de Bourbon-Parme, maternal relatives of Louis XVII, and from a strand of Marie-Antoinette's hair, proved the young royal's identity. Historic evidence as to the location of the heart over the decades was also considered. In a summary of the investigation in 2004, Tulard wrote: "This heart is … almost certainly that of Louis XVII. We can never be 100 per cent sure but this is about as sure as it gets". In April 2010, he became Commander of the Légion d'honneur.

De bekende Nederlandse historicus en heraldicus C.E.G. ten Houte de Lange heeft hier verandering in gebracht. In zijn laatste boek, Wapenspreuken van Nederlandse geslachten, worden op systematische en overzichtelijke wijze zo’n 430 wapens en motto’s beschreven van families die in Nederland tot de adel of het patriciaat worden gerekend.

Mijn betovergrootvader was een van de eigenaren en mijn moeder vertelde mij allerlei boeiende verhalen over deze bijzondere man. Hoewel er het een en ander geschreven is over de Drentse havezaten, is er niet al te veel bekend over de families die op de havezaten woonden. Veelal is de beschrijving beperkt tot een lijst (al dan niet compleet) met eigenaren, soms voorzien van enige achtergrondinformatie over beroep en sociale komaf. Het is echter interessant om wat meer speurwerk te verrichten naar de bewoners en hun gezinnen. Hierdoor wordt meer inzicht verkregen in de sociaal-culturele context waarin de havezate en het bezit hiervan geplaatst kan worden. Ook werpt het soms een licht op de wijze waarop het bezit van de havezate tot stand kwam.
In het licht van het voorgaande, heb ik per eigenaar een genealogisch fragment opgenomen, waar mogelijk voorzien van portretten en een familiewapen. Enige korte historische en juridische inleidingen gaan hieraan vooraf. Bij sommige personen of families is een wetenswaardigheid toegevoegd.
