COUNCIL OF THE NINE | Mystery of the Iniquity
“HRH Prince Michael of Albany, President of the European Council of Princes…Grand Protector of The Imperial Royal Dragon Court and Order..’”
“Along with Zigmond, other officers of the Court were his second wife Barbara Cilli (daughter of Duke Hermann II of Styria) and their daughter Elizabeth, thereby achieving the traditional overall standard of twenty-six members (two covens of thirteen).”
“In 1408…the Dragon Court was formally reconstituted as a sovereign body at a time of wars and general political turmoil. The Court’s reemergence was instigated by Sigismund von Luxembourg, king of Hungary, a descendant of the Lusignan Dragon Kings of Jerusalem. Having inherited the legacy in 1397 he drew up a pact with twenty-three nobles who swore to observe ‘true and pure fraternity’ within the Societas Draconis (later called Ordo Draconis) — Hungarian: Sarkany Rend. The founding document…stated that members of the Court might wear the insignia of a dragon incurved into a circle, with a red cross — the very emblem of the original Rosicrucis which had identified the Grail succession from before 3000 B.C.”
“Another little known legend speaks of a hidden, hereditary group of families who have exerted great influence over European life from before the time of Jesus to the present. They call themselves ‘Rex Deus’ and claim direct descent from the twenty-four priestly families of the Temple in Jerusalem and from Jesus himself.”
The purpose of the Dragon Court is to protect the descendants of the ancient Vere family of the Merovingian bloodline, out of which will eventually come the Antichrist.
