At the end of the summer of 1970, four intrepid souls got in General Eisenhower, my 1950 Dodge Coronet, and headed West. At four o’clock in the morning as we crossed the Rockies, my beloved Dodge blew an oil seal. No one could drive, but me. I had not slept in twenty-four hours. As we descended into the desert near Winnamucca, I pulled Eisenhower over to the side of the road as the sun rose, and told my fellow wayfarers;
“This far, and no further!”
James Harkins, Robert ‘No Doz’ Delano, and Rena Christsensen, could not comprehend what had happened. Eisenhower was consuming three quarts of oil every fifty miles. No way could we make it to Nebraska where we would drop off Rena so she could go to college, and, we three artists head on to Boston. After pooling our money together, we put our beautiful Muse in the dog. In defeat, we headed back to Oakland. We had rendered works of art to sell so we could buy gasoline.
Two months later, James and I are living in a flat in Roxbury with four hippies. We are buying our food wholesale and picking it up at the Mel Lyan commune on Fort Hill. Mel married Jessie Benton, the daughter of the famous artist, Thomas Hart Benton, the cousin of Garth Benton, my ex-brother-in-law. Christine Rosamond Benton met Garth through my father’s private lender, Lawrence Chazen, a financial advisor for the Getty family, who I am kin to through Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor.
Chazen is a CEO of Noble Oil. He tried to become the executor and take over Christine’s artistic and litery legacy. There was a plan to make a movie. I did battle with Garth and Chazen who were good friends. I sent the probate court cryptic letters informing this court I was a Grail Scholar studying the Knight Templars and authoring a book on this subject. That was 1997. I would find out later Dan Brown and his wife were lurking in the background of several yahoogroups I belonged to where I began to look at the family names Rosamond and Rougemont. I revealed my ‘Rose Line’ in 1998.
Several years ago I proved the Templars owned the Shroud of Turin, and the Rougemonts were Templars at the core of much Templar history. I own much credibility for my discovery. To be able to connect the Rougemont name to Talac de Rougemont, a Knight of the Round Table and rival of King Arthur, is to own most of what Dan Brown borrowed in his book ‘The Davinci Code’
I rescued Rena Victoria Easton. I was her knight in shining armor. Later, I rescued Dottie Witherspoon, who I met through Michelle, whom I rescued from Boston’s Mafia. I was introduced to the mayor of Boston by my attorney after we defeated the Mafia in court. Whitey Bolger is on trial in a Boston Courtroom as I type.
Last night I had a two-hour dinner conversation with Marilyn, my first Muse. I told her about the call I got from a woman in Bozeman Montana who said she did know Rena, but had lost contact with her. She said she may be able to reconnect with her in two days. She dug for more information from me, she not getting the name of this blog. I gave it to her. I asked Marilyn this question;
“Do you think this woman has already made contact with Rena, who wants to check me out via my blog.”
“Sounds like it!”
Another possibility is this woman is going to censor me, not tell Rena I am trying to communicate with her – if she finds me odd, or, dangerous. If she wants to talk with Marilyn, I will give her the number.
In 1992, Christine called our mother from the Getty abode in New York where she and Garth were spending the night. She said this;
“Mother. I am calling you from the Getty residence where I a spending the night. I have it all, fame, fortune, and the support of the very wealthy. But mother, I don’t know who I am anymore!”
Above is a photo of Christine looking at the painting I did of Rena. In Boston I had done another. Rena is walking in the snow in her green cape. Everyone who saw this work fell in love with her, my Muse, and the Muse of Christine Rosamond Benton. We are talking about a Artistic Dynasty that I have enjoined to the Knight Templars and the Shroud of Turin, that some say is a fake, a work of art that is a forgery. That this bloody shroud was held in the hands of those whom I share genetic material, is profound, for it had to have concealed the white bones of a skeleton. What became of those bones? Here is the Phantom of the Templars!
All roads lead to Rome……and the Rose! I beg Rena to come forth and tell the world her story, so that millions can know who they are in regards to the Quest of the Holy Shroud and Grail. Is there a Muse of the Holy Shroud?
What is the name of the King of Jerusalem who wears a mask? This is not a game. Many American embassies have been closed due to radical Muslims who believe the U.S. launched a new crusade. They did, but, the wrong people launched it for all the wrong reasons.

1208 – Pons de la Roche presents to Amadeus de Tramelay, Archbishop of Besançon, the Shroud that his son Othon de la Roche, Latin Duke of Athens, had sent him from Constantinople.
In 1418, Humbert of Villersexel, Count de la Roche, Lord of Saint-Hippolyte-sur-Doubs, moved the shroud to his castle at Montfort, France to provide protection against criminal bands, after he married Charny’s granddaughter. It was later moved to Saint-Hippolyte-sur-Doubs. After Humbert’s death, canons of Lirey fought through the courts to force the widow to return the cloth, but the parliament of Dole and the Court of Besançon left it to the widow, who travelled with the shroud to various expositions, notably in Liege and Geneva.
“I am a member in good standing of the State Bar of California and an attorney
on record for 50% interest in Shannon Rosamond. In my 16 years as a member of
the State Bar California, I have never experienced a more deliberate fraud on
any court or more reckless and calculated attempt to fraudulently take control
of a probate estate at the exclusion of the lawful heirs and total manipulation
of a tester’s intent that the present efforts of Attorney’s Robin Beare,
Lawrence J. Chazen and Garth Benton, the descendants former spouse.”
“Over the specific argument of Ms. Beare, Judge Silver refused to appoint Mr.
Chazen. Neither Ms. Beare nor Mr. Chazen disclosed to the court the very
critical fact that Mr. Chazen has the largest single creditor’s claim against
the estate and is a former business partner and business associate of Garth
Benton who the court had removed as Special Administer just moments before.”
In separate interviews, broker Charles H. Oliver Jr. and San Francisco investor
Lawrence Chazen angrily objected to the cross-fire of publicity and politics
surrounding a 4-year-old loan to Mattie Aikens and her son Wilbert. Oliver and
Chazen said they’ve been the target of abusive telephone calls. Oliver operates
Homeowners Resources Corp. of Hayward along with his wife and partner, Cindy
Oliver. The Olivers said they are outraged that U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development officials publicly said, before investigating, that they
believed Aikens’ case was an example of predatory lending practices. He compared
himself to Richard Jewell, widely suspected of planting a bomb during the
Olympics in Atlanta until the Justice Department conceded it lacked sufficient
evidence.

1208 – Pons de la Roche presents to Amadeus de Tramelay, Archbishop of Besançon, the Shroud that his son Othon de la Roche, Latin Duke of Athens, had sent him from Constantinople.
1314 – The Templars, an Order of the Crusade Knights, are sent to the stake as heretics and accused to secretly worship the Face that seems to be reproduced from the Shroud. One of them was called Geoffroy de Charny.
1349 – On March 6 during the fire of the Besançon Cathedral the Shroud disappears.
Lirey – The Chapelle (ML)
1356 – Geoffroy de Charny, a crusade knight having the same name as the previous one, deliveries the Shroud to the canons of Lirey, near Troyes in France. The precious cloth has been in his possession for at least three years. His wife, Jeanne de Vergy, is a grand-niece of Othon de la Roche.
1389 – Pierre d’Arcis, bishop of Troyes, forbids the Exhibition of the
“SUCCESSIVE OWNERS OF THE SHROUD
The first known owner of the Shroud in France in the 1350s was Geoffrey de Charney, who died in 1356; the name of Jacques de Molay’s fellow martyr was Geoffroi de Chamey. If the Shroud had been brought to France from Constantinople by the Knights Templar, who had so recently been suppressed on charges of heresy, it is understandable why the de Chameys were reluctant to declare its origins. In The Shroud and the Grail, Noel Currer-Briggs, founder member of the Association of Genealogists and Record Agents and a Fellow of the Society of Genealogists, produces proof that Geoffrey de Charney was the nephew of Jacques de Molay’s companion in death, Geoffroi de Charney, Templar Master of Normandy. He also shows that this family are intimately linked by ties of blood and marriage with the families of Brienne, de Joinville and Burgundy. Could it be that Rex Deus ensured the preservation of the Shroud in the certain knowledge that, sooner or later, it would play an important part in disclosing that Jesus came to reveal the pathway to initiation and not to make any form of redemptive sacrifice?
The last member of the de Chamey line, the 72-year-old Marguerite de Charney, was childless when, in 1453, Duke Louis of Savoy ceded to her the Castle of Varanbon and the revenues of the estate of Miribel in return for certain ‘valuable services’, which included Marguerite’s gift to the duke of the Shroud. Geoffrey II de Chamey and Marguerite’s second husband, Humbert de Villersexel, had both been created knights of the Order of the Collar of Savoy by earlier dukes 2 Marguerite de Chamey had found a noble and trusted family to ensure the preservation of this remarkable relic, as the House of Savoy were Rex Deus.
In 1418, Humbert of Villersexel, Count de la Roche, Lord of Saint-Hippolyte-sur-Doubs, moved the shroud to his castle at Montfort, France to provide protection against criminal bands, after he married Charny’s granddaughter. It was later moved to Saint-Hippolyte-sur-Doubs. After Humbert’s death, canons of Lirey fought through the courts to force the widow to return the cloth, but the parliament of Dole and the Court of Besançon left it to the widow, who travelled with the shroud to various expositions, notably in Liege and Geneva.
The widow sold the image in exchange for a castle in Varambon, France in 1453. Louis of Savoy, the new owner, stored it in his capital at Chambery in the newly built Saint-Chapelle, which Pope Paul II shortly thereafter raised to the dignity of a collegiate church. In 1464, the duke agreed to pay an annual fee to the Lirey canons in exchange for their dropping claims of ownership of the cloth. Beginning in 1471, the shroud was moved between many cities of Europe, being housed briefly in Vercelli, Turin, Ivrea, Susa, Chambery, Avigliano, Rivoli and Pinerolo. A description of the cloth by two sacristans of the Sainte-Chapelle from around this time noted that it was stored in a reliquary: “enveloped in a red silk drape, and kept in a case covered with crimson velours, decorated with silver-gilt nails, and locked with a golden key”.
Both decide in favour of Marguarite de Charny. The canons refuse to accept this judgment, and ask for the excommunication of Marguarite de Charny. In 1459 they abandon their claim in return for financial compensation. The quarrel had lasted 21 years.”

Hugh de Rougemont appears to be the missing Grand Master of the Knight Templars mentioned before Bernard Tramelay which is also Dramelay, who is then followed by Andre de Montbard, a name that is Montbéliard and Bar combined. The Rougemonts are listed as a Templar family. It is my discovery that they are the Shroud of Turin family. Here is the only evidence the Templars were a hereditary order. I may descend from the Rougemont Templars on my mother’s side. With the recent attention given to the shroud by the new Pope, Francis, I hereby found a new order and adopt the original name of the Templars the ‘Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon’.
