Karlskirche in Vienna in possession of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star

At 6:00 P.M. PST, I John Presco read the Baldwin and his wife were crowned King and Queen of Jerusalem in Bethlehem on Christmas Day. Baldwin and Alice are the great grandparents of Agnes of Bohemia, who founded the Knights of the Cross and the Red Star, which is the Star of Bethlehem. Because I am an expert in Family Trees, I found out Agnes descends from Alice, the daughter of Baldwin .The citation for the Knights of the Cross and Red Star, says this…

“Traditionally its roots were traced back to Holy Land. Nevertheless, in a parchment Breviary of the Order, dated 1356, the account of foundation contains no allusion to such a crusader lineage.[3]“

How wrong can you be – unless this order is hiding the real possibility – it is at the foundation of the Knights Templar – who may have been put up in a royal palace on Christmas Night.

“Baldwin temporarily lodged the knights in the royal palace on the Temple Mount and they became known as the Knights Templar.”

I alone discovered that the Red Cross represents the Knights Templar of Bethlehem. I declare myself the American Crusader King of Jerusalem for the reason the Knights of the Cross and the Red Star of Bethlehem considered moving to the United States.

Mt first duty is to the children who are threatened with death, and have been injured in the Israeli Hamas War. My second duty is to protect all religious peoples in Jerusalem. I’m calling for the release of all children taken hostage, and the evacuation of all children from the Gaza. They will need to be treated for PTSD. I suggest the castle of Bohemia be transformed into treatment centers.

Baldwin and his wife were crowned king and queen in Bethlehem on Christmas Day.^[125] He and the Patriarch held a general assembly at the Council of Nablus on 16 January 1120.^[123] The prelates and noblemen who attended the meeting confirmed the clergy’s right to collect the tithe and to bear arms “in the cause of defense”.^[126] The council also ordered the punishment of adulterers, pimps, sodomites and bigamists, and prohibited sexual relations between Christians and Muslims.^[126][127] Other decrees established penalties against thieves and those who falsely accused others of crimes.^[126][127] The decisions of the council were the first examples of law making in the Kingdom of Jerusalem.^[112]

A confraternity of knights established by Hugh of Payns and Godfrey de Saint-Omer to protect pilgrims in the Holy Land most probably received official recognition at the council, according to historians Malcolm Barber and Christopher Tyerman.^[128][129] Baldwin temporarily lodged the knights in the royal palace on the Temple Mount and they became known as the Knights Templar.^[128][129] He offered Nabi Samwil to the Cistercians, but Bernard of Clairvaux ceded the place to the Premonstratensians who built a monastery.^[130] Shortly after the council, Baldwin and Patriarch Warmund also sent letters to Pope Calixtus II and the Venetians, urging them to support the defense of the Holy Land.^[131] The crusaders especially needed the Venetians’ ships against the Egyptians.^[131]

The question of Baldwin I’s succession divided the barons and the prelates, according to William of Tyre.[103][105] The highest-ranking prelate, Arnulf of Chocques, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, and Joscelin of Courtenay, who held the largest fief in the kingdom, argued that Baldwin should be elected without delay to avoid an interregnum.[103][105] Others maintained that the crown should first be offered to Eustace in accordance with Baldwin I’s last will.[103][105] Some “great nobles”, whom William of Tyre did not name, were appointed to inform Eustace of his brother’s death.[105] However, shortly after their departure, on Easter Day (14 April), Baldwin was anointed.[106] His coronation was delayed for unknown reasons.[107][108] Patriarch Arnulf died two weeks after Baldwin’s anointment and his successor, Warmund of Picquigny, was only installed in August or September.[109]

Alice was the second daughter of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem and Morphia of Melitene. She had three sisters. She was an aunt of Kings Baldwin III and Amalric I. Of her other sisters, Hodierna married Raymond II of Tripoli, and Ioveta became abbess of the convent in Bethany.

Princess consort of Antioch[edit]

Baldwin II had become regent of Antioch after the defeat of the principality at the Battle of Ager Sanguinis in 1119. In 1126, the 18-year-old Bohemond, son of Bohemond I, the first prince of Antioch, arrived to claim his inheritance. Immediately after the principality was handed over to him, Bohemond was married to Alice; the marriage was likely part of the negotiations prior to Bohemond’s arrival.

Power struggle with Baldwin[edit]

In 1130, Bohemond was killed in battle with the Danishmends, and Baldwin returned to Antioch to assume the regency, but Alice wanted the city for herself. She attempted to make an alliance with Zengi, the Seljuk atabeg of Mosul and Aleppo, offering to marry her daughter to a Muslim prince. The messenger sent by Alice to Zengi was captured on the way by Baldwin, and was tortured and executed. Alice refused to let Baldwin enter Antioch, but some of the Antiochene nobles opened the gates for Baldwin’s representatives, Fulk, Count of Anjou (Alice’s brother-in-law) and Joscelin I of Edessa. Alice at first fled to the citadel but finally flung herself on her father’s mercy and they were reconciled. She was expelled from Antioch, but was allowed to keep for herself Latakia and Jabala, the cities which had been her dowry when she had married Bohemond. Baldwin left Antioch under the regency of Joscelin, ruling for Alice and Bohemond’s young daughter Constance.

Power struggle with Fulk[edit]

Baldwin II died in 1131 and was succeeded in Jerusalem by his eldest daughter, Alice’s sister Melisende and her husband Fulk. Joscelin, also, died soon afterwards, and Alice again attempted to take control of Antioch, not wishing her young daughter to inherit the principality. The Antiochene nobles appealed to Fulk for help, and Alice allied with the rulers of the other two northern Crusader states, Pons of Tripoli and Joscelin I’s son Joscelin II. Pons would not allow Fulk to pass through the County of Tripoli, and Fulk was forced to travel to Antioch by sea. Pons and Joscelin may have feared that Fulk wanted to impose the suzerainty of Jerusalem over the northern states, although it was also rumoured that Alice had simply bribed them. Fulk and Pons fought a battle near Rugia, but peace was eventually made, and Fulk restored the regency in Antioch, placing the principality under the control of Reynald Masoier.

Marriage of Constance[edit]

Around 1135, Alice again attempted to take control of Antioch, negotiating with the Byzantine Empire for a husband for Constance; the future emperor Manuel Comnenus was a candidate. Some of the nobles of the principality, however, not wanting a Greek alliance, secretly summoned Raymond of Poitiers to marry Constance. The Patriarch, Ralph of Domfront, convinced Alice that Raymond was coming to marry her, but instead he himself performed the wedding of Raymond and the still-underage Constance.

Alice was humiliated and left Antioch, never to return. She died after 1151.^[1]

In 1233, St. Agnes of Bohemia founded a hospital fraternity of Franciscan tertiaries at her monastery in Prague. This community, inspired by the nursing military orders, was dedicated to the care of elderly, sick and other needy people. In 1235 the hospital was richly endowed by the Queen of Bohemia, Agnes’s mother, with property formerly belonging to the Teutonic Knights. A few years later, in 1237 the Order had been formally constituted under the Rule of St. Augustine by Pope Gregory IX. Despite relatively clear origins of the Order, its beginnings used to be subject of legends, especially in the Baroque period: Traditionally its roots were traced back to Holy Land. Nevertheless, in a parchment Breviary of the Order, dated 1356, the account of foundation contains no allusion to such a crusader lineage.[3]

Posted on October 28, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press

An hour ago I discovered the Cross and the Red Star. In spirit I come to Prague and indwell in the Church of Saint Francis i Prague. It is twelve midnight. I demand Israel cease killing children, and stop its bombing of the Gaza.

John The Bohemian Prophet of Prague

EXTRA! After I posted this on October 28, 2023, I played the video I made in April of 2020/ Wow! I declare the War of Armageddon has begun. Hamas was training for an attack.

The best part is, I found my cat Classy – when she was young!

“This suppression would have had fatal consequences for the Order operating at that time only in the Czech lands. In this context, the Grand Master was preparing the possible relocation of the entire Order to the United States”

Was this order going to be sponsored by the Order of Saint in Dubuque? Consider the Rosamond line to the Schwarzenberg family.
