I talked to my fiancé two days ago about my discovery that her kindred were Grand Masters of Military and Hospitaller Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem and were involved in the document ‘The Larmenius Charter or Carta Transmissionis’ which some claim is a forgery. The Sinclair clan makes such a claim and asks you to look to their folks for the un-broken chain of Templar Grand Masters. Louis-Hercule Timoleon, Duc de Cosse Brissac is listed as a Grand Master with four GM of the House of Bourbon before him. Pierre de Cossé Brissac, Duke of Brissac, is listed as a GM of the Order of Lazarus that was susposed to be of the House of Bourbon, only. What is going on? That the two lists of these chivalrous orders is almost identical suggests the
‘The Larmenius Charter’ may not be a forgery, or, is based upon the Lazarus list. Then there is the Rene de Anjou connection whose court was the Mecca for the Arts.
For sure the kindred of Virginia Hambley de Bourmont are real players in an intrigue that was brought to light by the authors of ‘Holy Blood Holy Grail’ who sued Dan Brown for plagarism, his Da Vinci Code borrowing from the claim that Rene de Anjou was a Grand Master of the Priory de Sion that was employing objects of art to lead riddle-lovers to a lineage of people kin to Jesus who have been guarded by Knight Templars since their founding. I do not subscribe to this belief, but have looked at the claims as a genealogist.
Virginia said it’s time to put my book on the Sion Templar Market, and acquire some money and credibility. I told my fiancés I have chosen to give my study away for free, because, I have not yet arrived – at the truth! That may not be true anymore. Either it was by dumb-luck, or I was divinely led, to bond with a woman who appears to be ‘Of the Blood’. Virginia is kin to Adelheid Marie Beatrice Zita de Liechtenstein the great granddaughter of Empress Zita of the House of Bourbon-Palma. None of the Hambleys knew of these family ties. How about the de Bourmonts who own all those castles in France? Zita fled to America. The idea of a New Louisiana Kingdom in America is not a pipe dream. The Habsburgs ruled Mexico.

Larmenius Charter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Larmenius Charter or Carta Transmissionis (“Charter of Transmission”) is a manuscript purportedly created by Johannes Marcus Larmenius (Fr.: Jean-Marc Larmenius) in February 1324, giving in Latin a list of 22 successive Grand Masters of the Knights Templar after Jacques de Molay, ending in 1804, the name of Bernard-Raymond Fabré-Palaprat appearing last on the list (who revealed the existence of the Charter in 1804). The document is written in a supposed devised ancient Knights Templar Codex.[1] Actually in Freemason custody, the document is kept at the Mark Masons Hall in London.[1] Based on analysis of the deciphered code as well as of the circumstances of the finding of the charter, most researchers have concluded that it is a forgery.[1]
An English translation of the Larmenius Charter was published in 1830.[2]
In the document, Larmenius, then a very aged man in his 70’s, states that the Grand Mastership of the Knights Templar Order was verbally transmitted to him ten years earlier (March, 1314) by the imprisoned Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar. Larmenius was a Palestinian-born Christian who became a member of The Order of the Temple during the waning years of the Crusades. He was later the Templar Preceptor on the island domain of Cyprus after the Templar exodus from the mainland of the Holy Land to Cyprus after the fall of Acre in 1295. In this position, Larmenius was left in charge as Templar Seneschal (second highest rank in the Order) of the large remaining “exited” Templar forces in the Mediterranean in 1305 when de Molay was tricked into coming to Paris for meetings with Philip IV of France and the Pope Clement V.
In the document, Larmenius states he has become too aged to continue with the rigorous requirements of the Office of Grand Master, and “transfers” his Grand Mastership of the Templar Order to Franciscus Theobaldus, the Prior of the Templar Priory still remaining at Alexandria, Egypt.[3] With this declarative Charter, Larmenius protects the Order for perpetuity by continuing the legitimate line of Grand Masters of the Templar Order, which continues the “Second Phase” of the Order through the “Dark Period” through to its semi-private unveiling at the Convent General of the Order at Versailles in 1705 by Philippe, Duke of Orléans, elected Grand Master of the Templar Order,[3] and later also Regent of France.
History[edit]
The Charter has long been suspected to be a forgery – it was suggested it was the work of a Jesuit named Father Bonani, who assisted Philippe II, Duke of Orléans in 1705 to fabricate the document,[4][5] to re-establish the ‘Societé d’Aloyau’ (“Society of the Sirloin”), who claimed to be a continuation of the Knights Templar, and also an attempt to gain recognition with the Order of Christ in Portugal. This Order was dissolved in 1792 during the French Revolution by the death of its Grand Master, the Duke Timoléon de Cossé Brissac, massacred at Versailles. An item of his furniture was bought by Brother Ledru, the son of Cossé Brissac’s physician, whereupon he discovered the Charter of Larmenius hidden inside it, and showed it to Fabré-Palaprat in 1804.[6] Peter Partner believes the document was fabricated by Ledru.[7]
The code[edit]
While the charter actually is written in some code, a number of researchers have claimed that the codex, once deciphered, appears to be a more modern, scholarly Latin, and not ecclesiastical Latin used during the period of its supposed origin.[1]

François de Cossé-Brissac, president of the Jockey Club and grand master Emeritus of themilitary and hospital of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem ;
The name ofSaint-Lazare is often used today to denote several different organizations claiming to originalorder of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem. All are the continuatrices or the heirs of the historical order of the Hospitallers of Saint – Lazare. These two orders are subject to different articles:
Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem : hospital order creates in Jerusalem to the XIe century. This order was to allow and provide care for lepers. The French Revolution saw the confiscation of all the property of the order. Then begins a dark period that sees the last members of the order search support in 1799 with Paul i. of Russia, with Gustav IV of Sweden, and then in 1814 by Louis XVIIIin 1808. It is under the protection of this King that some claim date the end of the order history (he in squandered latest properties during his exile).
Military and hospital of Saint-Lazare : but the order is maintained in 1830 by the Board of officers that gets the support of the first patron of the melkite Greek Patriarch order. In 1835, a grand master is elected by a general chapter which was held in France. Patriarch Maximos III will accept to resume the protection of this order in 1841. Special interests will give birth to particular persuasions in the election of masters.
TheOrder of Saints-Maurice and Lazarus is also derived from theorder of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem. This order is placed under the protection of the House of Savoy.
Theroyal order of our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem is based on the personal union of the order of Saint-Lazare and of theorder of our Lady of Mount Carmel.
Theorder of Notre-Dame du Mont-Carmel is a French religious order , which existed independently in 1608.
The order was created in February 1608 by Pope Paul V at the request of the King of France Henry IV. The creation of the order, intended to “the extirpation of heresy”, had just seal the reconciliation of the King of France, converted to Catholicism in 1593, and of the Holy See. The badge of the order was a gold cross decorated with a medallion of the Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel; the cross was suspended from a Ribbon of Amaranth color (red purple-pulling).
In October 1608, Henry IV decided to merge this order with that of Saint-Lazare. As such, he named the grand master of Saint-Lazare, Philibert de Nérestang, grand-master of the Mont-Carmel.
The Holy See did not recognize the new orders of Notre-Dame du Mont-Carmel and Saint-Lazare de Jerusalem meeting, because he had no doubt to intention to merge the order of Saint-Lazare in another military order[citation needed], such as theorder of Malta. The different Grand Masters of the order were recognized only as Grand Masters of the Mont-Carmel. Finally in 1668 a bubble of the papal legate in France devoted the merger of the two orders.
The order of our Lady of Mount Carmel was abolished in 1830.
Jean Paul Timoléon de Cossé-Brissac, Duke of Brissac (7th of the name), marquis de Thouarcé and Marshal of France (b. 12 October 1698 in Paris, died 1784 in Saarlouis), was a general of Louis XV. He is best known for his action at the head of the French rearguard in the battle of Minden.

Louis Hercule Timoléon de Cossé, Duke of Brissac (14 February 1734, Paris-9 September 1792, Versailles) was a French politician and peer of France. He was the second son and heir of the general Jean Paul Timoléon de Cossé Brissac.
Life[edit]
One of the greatest men at the courts of Louis XV and Louis XVI, he was Grand Panetier of France, governor of Paris, capitaine colonel of the cent Suisses of the garde du roi, and a knight in various orders.
In 1791 he became commander in chief of the King’s Constitutional Guard. On 29 May 1792 the Assembly dissolved this corps, suspecting it of royalist and counter-revolutionary sympathies and accusing of Cosse-Brissac of encouraging this and writing a speech ordering his men to go over to the king. He was sent to prison in Orléans to await judgement by the high court before being transferred to Versailles, but the prisoners were separated from their escort and freed by a band of bandits. He was thus killed in the 9 September massacres and his body mutilated. With little spirit but much force and courage, he held off his murderers for a long time, receiving several wounds before finally being cut down by a sabre. Always distinguished for his devotion to Louis XVI, he replied to someone praising him for his conduct “I only do what I must do for my ancestors and my family”. He is mentioned in the fifth verse of Jacques Delille’s poem la Pitié and anecdotes on him are to be found in Paris, Versailles et les provinces.
