The Roman White Rose of Bohemian and Savoy

How fortunate I am, and cursed, to have read the Bible when I was forty year of age, and thus I was able to see that St. Paul was the Liar of Liars, who puts himself on trial before Queen Berenice, then her beautiful sister, Drucilla who married Felix the Roman procurator of Judea upon whose head all the sins of the Rome and the Kingdom of Judea was placed in ode to hide a pantheon truths that suffer to be reborn this very day. I have come to found another Papacy, or raise Sleeping Beauty from her tomb. There is no such thing as a Virgin Birth that renders Mary a rival Sleeping Beauty of a faux church and teaching chosen by Emperor Constantine to replace the truth that Jesus – was just a man!

No way would the Royalty of the World have a serial killer of Jewish Saints before them. Felix would have had Paul arrested, or, assassinated. Paul’s tedious self-serving teaching did not even exist. Jesus would never appear as a Ghost on The Road to anoint a murderer the head of his church, known as The Way. Is it Felix who did all the persecuting – even into Damarcus?

The painting of Paul before one of the most beautiful woman in the world – is a lie! It is Catholic Artificial Intelligence. It is a usurpation of a devout Jew who studied under Gamaliel, all of sudden being the High Priest of a new religion that is – being recognized by just the right people! Who did not recognize Jesus? Bull!

What if…..THE REAL JESUS….appeared before Drucilla and Felix, and it is they who found no fault in him, and his teaching. To find this name in my family tree….VICTOR EMANUEL FELIX STUTTMEISTER….suggests the Stuttmeisters are a cadet branch of the House of Savoy. My great uncle said Stuttmeister was not their real name. Did Drucilla have children by Felix?

Julia Drusilla (Greek: Δρούσιλλα; born AD 38) was a daughter of Herod Agrippa, King of Judaea and Cypros and the sister of BereniceMariamne and Herod Agrippa II. Her son, Agrippa, was one of the few people known by name to have died in the Vesuvius eruption.

Life[edit]

First marriage[edit]

Her father had betrothed her to Gaius Julius Archelaus Antiochus Epiphanes, first son of King Antiochus IV of Commagene,[1] with a stipulation from her father that Epiphanes should embrace the Jewish religion,[2] but the marriage had still not been contracted on her father’s death at Caesarea Maritima in 44. According to Josephus, on Agrippa’s death, the populace “cast such reproaches upon the deceased as are not fit to be spoken of; and so many of them as were then soldiers, which were a great number, went to his house, and hastily carried off the statues of [Agrippa I]’s daughters, and all at once carried them into the brothels, and when they had set them on the brothel roofs, they abused them to the utmost of their power, and did such things to them as are too indecent to be related”.[3]

Once Drusilla’s brother, Herod Agrippa II, had been assigned the tetrarchy of Herod Philip I (along with Batanea, Trachonites and Abila) in around 49/50, he broke off her engagement and gave her in marriage to Gaius Julius AzizusPriest King of Emesa, who had consented to be circumcised.[2]

Marriage to Antonius Felix[edit]

Main article: Antonius Felix

It appears that it was shortly after her first marriage was contracted that Antonius Felix, the Roman procurator of Judea, met Drusilla, probably at her brother’s court (Berenice, the elder sister, lived with her brother at this time, and it is thought Drusilla did too). Felix was reportedly struck by her great beauty, and determined to make her his (second) wife. In order to persuade her, a practising Jew, to divorce her husband and marry him, a pagan, he sent an emissary to plead for him.

But for the marriage of Drusilla with Azizus, it was in no long time afterward dissolved upon the following occasion: While Felix was procurator of Judea, he saw this Drusilla, and fell in love with her;[4] for she did indeed exceed all other women in beauty; and he sent to her a person whose name was Simon[5] (Note: in some manuscripts, Atomos), a Jewish friend of his, by birth a Cypriot, who pretended to be a magician. Simon endeavored to persuade her to forsake her present husband, and marry Felix; and promised, that if she would not refuse Felix, he would make her a happy woman. Accordingly she acted unwisely and, because she longed to avoid her sister Berenice’s envy (for Drusilla was very ill-treated by Berenice because of Drusilla’s beauty) was prevailed upon to transgress the laws of her forefathers, and to marry Felix; and when he had had a son by her, he named him Agrippa. But after what manner that young man, with his wife [or “with the woman”], perished at the conflagration of the mountain Vesuvius, in the days of Titus Caesar, shall be related hereafter.[6]

She was about twenty-two when she appeared at Felix’s side, during St. Paul’s captivity at Caesarea – the Book of Acts 24:24 reports that “Several days later Felix came [back into court] with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess.”

The Book of Acts gives no further information on her subsequent life, but Josephus states that they had a son named Marcus Antonius Agrippa. Their son perished with most of the populations of Pompeii and Herculaneum in the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Josephus says “σὺν τῇ γυναικὶ”, which has been interpreted as “with his wife”, or alternatively “with the woman”, namely Drusilla.[7]

FELIX (ANTONIUS FELIX):

By: Richard GottheilSamuel Krauss

Procurator of Judea. Felix, who was a freedman of the empress Antonia, was administrator of Samaria, and probably of Judea proper also, as early as the time of the procurator Cumanus (Tacitus, “Annales,” xii. 54; Josephus, “Ant.” xx. 7, § 1). The two procurators almost went to war with each other during the conflict that broke out between the Samaritans and the Galileans; but Cumanus was recalled. Felix was thereupon appointed sole procurator of Judea by Claudius (52 C.E.) on the suggestion of the high priest Jonathan, who had gone to Rome with other nobles on account of the Samaritan disturbances (Josephus, “B. J.” ii. 11, § 6; “Ant.” xx. 8, § 5). Felix was also entrusted with the entire military command, as Suetonius (“Claudius,” § 28) and Victor (“Epit.” § 4) distinctly point out. Felix exercised, as Tacitus says, “the royal prerogative in a slavish sense, with all manner of cruelties and excesses”; it was he who excited the bitter feelings of the Jewish patriots to the highest pitch, and for this even his patron Jonathan reproached him in the end.

Related to Claudius by a former marriage, Felix, immediately on entering office, alienated the affections of the Jewish princess Drusilla, sister of Agrippa II., from her husband, King Azizus of Emesa (Josephus, “Ant.” xx. 7, § 2; comp. Acts xxiv. 24). He sent the chief of the Zealots, Eleazar b. Dinai, in chains to Rome, while taking relentless measures against his followers, whom he denounced as robbers, crucifying them in countless numbers (“B. J.” ii. 3, § 2; “Ant.” xx. 8, § 5). On the other hand, he tolerated the much more formidable Sicarii, and used them for his own purposes, as, for instance, in the murder of Jonathan (ib.). He also proceeded rigorously against the would be prophets that were disturbing the peace with their fanaticism, especially against an Egyptian Jew who, with several thousand followers, attempted to drive the Roman garrison from Jerusalem, but who was defeated (“B. J.” ii. 13, §§ 4-5; “Ant.” xx. 8, § 6; comp. Acts xxi. 38; Eusebius, “Hist. Eccl.”ii. 21). His term of office was practically a reign of anarchy; for even the high-priestly families were at war with the lower priests (“Ant.” xx. 8, § 8; “Vita,” § 3).

During his term, the apostle Paul was taken prisoner at Cæsarea (Acts xxiii.-xxiv.). A fierce contest arose at that time between the Jewish and Syrian citizens of Cæsarea, and as Felix acted unjustly toward the Jews, he was recalled by Nero about 60 C. E. (“Ant.” xx. 8, §§ 7-9; “B. J.” ii. 12, § 7). At the intercession of Pallas he escaped punishment (“Ant.” l.c.). He is mentioned in rabbinical sources (Krauss, “Lehnwörter,” ii. 459).

Princess Maria Beatrice Este

Marriage and issue[edit]

Margherita’s family announced her engagement to Robert, Archduke of Austria-Este on 20 October 1953.[1] They married on 28 December 1953 in Bourg-en-BresseAin, France (civilly) and 29 December 1953 (religiously), in Royal Monastery of Brou.[2][3] He was the second son of former Emperor Charles I of Austria and Zita of Bourbon-Parma. Robert was 38, and Margherita was 23. As the royal couple arrived for the first ceremony, hundreds of Austrians and Italians stood outside the town hall where the marriage was held.[2] The wedding was also attended by former King Umberto II of Italy and Robert’s older brother Otto of Habsburg, the claimant to the Austrian throne.[2] At six feet tall, Margherita was, according to some witnesses, an impressive sight. She wore an ivory gown made out of satin with a long train hung from a diamond tiara.[3]

The couple took up residence in Paris, where Robert was a bank clerk.[3] They had five children:

After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, properties seized by the communist regime were returned to their original owners. Members of the Czech nobility who emigrated abroad returned to their estates. Some subsequently returned to public life (for example, Karel Schwarzenberg as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Member of Parliament and Senator, Michal Lobkowitz as Minister of Defense and Member of Parliament, Tomáš Czernin as Senator). Other Czech nobles devote themselves, for example, to business, culture, science, the church, or knightly orders.[10]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenberg_family

Around 1250, the Vítkovci clan settled at the Rožmberk Castle in the region of Český Krumlov, then about 1253 erected the Český Krumlov Castle. The Český Krumlov Castle thus became the residence of the Lords of Rosenbergs for the next three hundred years. It was the Rosenbergs who influenced the appearance of southern Bohemia to a great extent. The coat of arms and emblem of this family was represented by a red five-petalled rose on a silver field, which is still often seen in a considerable part of southern Bohemia.

Peter I of Rosenberg held the post of the superior chamberlain at the court of John of Bohemia. His wife was a widow of the Bohemian King Wenceslaus III.

Another significant personage of the family was Jindřich III of Rosenberg, a son of Oldřich I of Rosenberg, who led the League of Lords, being displeased during the reign of King Wenceslaus IV.

Jindřich’s son, Oldřich II of Rosenberg, was a member of the Bohemian nobility who defended the interests of Bohemian catholic nobility and of Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor, during the times of the Hussite Wars.

A daughter of Oldřich II was Perchta of Rosenberg, who is identified with the Rosenbergs “White Lady” ghost tales, and current residents of the area still report seeing Perchta’s spirit around the castle.

The decline of the House of Rosenberg began with William and Peter Vok, the sons of Jošt III, both being raised under the guardianship of their uncle, Peter V.

William of Rosenberg is generally considered the most significant representative of the family, making the Český Krumlov area the centre of southern Bohemian cultural and political life.

After William’s death in 1592, his younger brother Peter Vok assumed the position of reigning lord. In 1601, he was forced to sell the Krumlov castle to Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor. Peter Vok transferred his residence after the sale to Třeboň, where he died in 1611. Peter Vok brought to a close the three-hundred-year-long reign of this illustrious dynasty.

Antonius Felix (possibly Tiberius Claudius Antonius Felix, in Greekὁ Φῆλιξ; born circa 5–10) was the 4th Roman procurator of Judea Province in 52–60, in succession to Ventidius Cumanus.

Life[edit]

Felix was the younger brother of the Greek freedman Marcus Antonius Pallas. Pallas served as a secretary of the treasury during the reign of the Emperor Claudius. Felix was a Greek freedman – either of Claudius, according to which theory Josephus (Antiq. xx. 7) calls him Claudius Felix, or of Claudius’s mother, Antonia Minor, a daughter of Triumvir Mark Antony to Octavia Minor and niece of Emperor Augustus. According to Tacitus, Pallas and Felix descended from the Greek Kings of Arcadia.[1]

Procurator of Judaea[edit]

Felix became the procurator by the petition of his brother. Felix’s cruelty, coupled with his accessibility to bribes (see Book of Acts 24:26), led to a great increase of crime in Judaea. The period of his rule was marked by internal feuds and disturbances, which he put down with severity.[2]

In 58, Felix hired assassins to murder Jonathan, the High Priest, shortly after the latter took office.[3] Jonathan had often criticized Felix about governing the Jewish affairs, and threatened to report to Caesar if Felix did not do well because Jonathan was the one who made recommendation to Caesar to send Felix to be the procurator of Judea. Felix persuaded one of Jonathan’s most trusted friends, Doras, a citizen of Jerusalem, to hire robbers to kill Jonathan by promising to give him a large sum of money. Doras arranged for some hired men to mingle with the worshippers in the Temple in Jerusalem, while they hid daggers under their garments. These assassins succeeded in killing Jonathan during a Jewish festival and were never caught.[3]

According to the Acts of the Apostles, after Paul the Apostle was arrested in Jerusalem and rescued from a plot against his life, the local Roman chiliarch Claudius Lysias transferred him to Caesarea, where he stood trial before Felix. On at least one further occasion Felix and his wife Drusilla heard Paul discourse, and later on frequently sent for Paul and talked with him. However, his actual desire was to receive a bribe from Paul, a request that the Apostle didn’t give into (Acts 24:24–26). When Felix was succeeded as procurator, having already detained Paul for two years, he left him imprisoned as a favor to the Jews (Acts 24:27).

Upon returning to Rome, Felix was accused of using a dispute between the Jews and Syrians of Caesarea as a pretext to slay and plunder the inhabitants, but through the intercession of his brother, the freedman Pallas, who had great influence with the Emperor Nero, he escaped unpunished.[2]

Porcius Festus succeeded him as procurator of Judea. Many historians believe that Felix may have had tuberculosis (like many other Romans), and that this was the cause of his death.[citation needed]

Felix married three times. His first wife was Drusilla of Mauretania, probably the daughter of Ptolemy of Mauretania and Julia Urania. Felix’s second wife was the Judean Drusilla of Judea, daughter of Herod Agrippa I and Cypros. Drusilla of Judea divorced Gaius Julius Azizus, King of Emesa to marry Felix. The couple had a son, Marcus Antonius Agrippa, who died, along with many of the inhabitants of Pompeii and Herculaneum, in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius on 24 August 79. Antonia Agrippina (whose name was found in graffiti in a Royal Tomb in Egypt) may have been a granddaughter from Agrippa. His third wife’s name is not attested. A man named Lucius Anneius Domitius Proculus is described in an inscription as the great-grandson of Felix, his grandmother is named as Antonia Clementiana, presumably Felix’s daughter. Another inscription names a Tiberius Claudius (with a missing cognomen) who was in some way associated with a Titus Mucius Clemens.[4]

Marcus Antonius Fronto Salvianus (a quaestor) and his son Marcus Antonius Felix Magnus (a high priest in 225) are possible descendants as well.
