Thiago I of Normandy (French: Jacques I de Normandie, British English: James I of Normandy, German: Jakob I der Normandie, Russian: Яков I Нормандский, Italian: Giacomo della Normandia; born 12 March 1991), is the blood heir to the first English and French kings of the Angevin Empire, Julio-Claudian dynasty, Carolingian dynasty, Merovingian dynasty, Royal Dynasty of Gwynedd, Royal House of Troy, Yngling Dynasty, Capetian dynasty, Royal House of Normandy, Plantagenet dynasty, Rurik dynasty and Munsöätten dynasty, and he bears, as a royal title, the prefix "Grand Prince" with the style of Imperial Highness; as a cadet member of the branch of the llustrious Royal House of MacDonnell Lamont Couto d’ Chandos and Royal House of Neustria and Angevin which formerly ruled the Angevin Empire, England and France, is one of the last descendants by bloodlines and royal laws of Robert II of France and consequently inherited the title of prince of blood (in French: Prince du sang), official title of the ancient French monarchy from 1527, which was attributed, by the king, to the prince of blood situated just after the "Sons of France" (in French: Fils de France) and the "Grandsons of France" (in French: Petits-fils): Petits-fils de France), according to the fundamental laws of the kingdom, among these fundamental laws, the Salic law excluded women from the succession, which gave particular importance to the princes of the blood of France, who legitimately descended from the Capetian Dynasty, also called the House of France - only the agnatic descendants of Hugues Capet were called to the succession. According to the "Legitimist" faction of French royalists, all male descendants of Hugh Capet in the legitimate male line are dynasts of the Kingdom of France. In 1573 the King, Charles IX, and nine princes of the blood all signed a declaration assuring Charles' brother Henry, Duke of Anjou, who was about to assume the crown of Poland, that his rights to the French throne would not lapse, nor those of any children he may have, even though they were to be born outside France. The blood right in this instance overcame the law of aubain by which foreign-born heirs forfeited their rights of succession; that is to say, being "capable of the crown" was a unique kind of birthright which transcended all usual legal regulations. Blood heirs no matter where they were born or resided were to be regarded "tout ainsi que s'ilz estoient originaires et regnicoles." This was recorded in letters patent in Parliament. Similar letters were issued for Philip, Duke of Anjou, when he was about to assume the crown of Spain (1700), a fact which legitimises the dynastic sovereignty of Thiago I of Normandy on a cultural and historical level, protected by the United Nations

Appointed in March 2022 “HONORABLE KENTUCKY COLONEL” BY THE GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY AND THE SECRETARY OF STATE. Kentucky Colonel is the highest title of honor bestowed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Commissions for Kentucky colonels are given by the Governor and the Secretary of State to individuals in recognition of noteworthy accomplishments, contributions to Kentucky society, remarkable deeds, and outstanding service to a community, state, or the nation. The Governor of Kentucky bestows the honor of a colonel’s commission, by the issuance of letters patent.

In the Commonwealth of Kentucky, commissioned Kentucky Colonels are considered members of the Governor’s Staff and his honorary aides-de-camp, and as such are entitled to the style of ‘Honorable’ as indicated on their commission certificates. The commission and letters patent granted by the Governor and Secretary of State bestowing the title of Kentucky Colonel refers to the honoree as "Honorable". The honor has been given to a broad variety of notable people – including various celebrities, artists, writers, athletes, performers, business people, the US and foreign politicians, and members of foreign royal families – some of whom have no obvious connection to Kentucky. It has also been bestowed upon various people who are not generally considered especially notable – they have been people from “all walks of life”. In the United States since 1775 there has been no greater civilian title or honor recognized than that of the Colonel. Once conferred the honorable title the recipient is granted all the duties and privileges of the office of Kentucky colonelcy through letters patent. Kentucky Colonel, An Internationally Respected and Privileged Honorific Style.

The tradition began in 1813 during the second term of Governor Isaac Shelby after he returned from leading the Kentucky Militia on a highly successful “War of 1812” campaign. He named one of his officers, Charles Todd, as an “aid-de-camp” on the Governor’s staff with the rank and grade of Colonel. Later governors commissioned Colonels to act as their protective guards; they wore uniforms and were present at most official functions. (Today’s Colonels are not required to perform such service.) Other governors continued this practice, and by the 1920s the Colonels’ ranks had grown considerably. The honorary title is warranted through letters patent which grants them the title "Colonel" recognizing them as "Honorable" through a commission as an officer on the governor's staff. Colonels optional duties are de facto and extra officio responsibilities of promoting tourism, economic development, participation in community service, fostering the general prosperity of the Commonwealth and projecting Kentucky's image abroad on behalf of the State and the Governor.

Today, commissions for Kentucky Colonels are given by the Governor and the Secretary of State to individuals in recognition of noteworthy accomplishments and outstanding service to a community, state or nation. Among the ranks of the Kentucky Colonels are distinguished leaders such as Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Ronald Reagan, English Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Saint (Pope) John Paul II, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Robert Plant (LED ZEPPELIN), Dave Mustaine (MEGADETH), John Lennon (THE BEATLES), Tommy Thayer (KISS) and Zakk Wylde (OZZY OSBOURNE) and singer Rob Halford, volunteer firemen and teachers – people from all walks of life who have performed in an extraordinary manner. The Governor serves as Commander-in-Chief of the Honorable Order. The foundation values of the Kentucky Colonel are goodwill, authenticity, integrity, trust and honor.

Received the Apostolic Blessing by the Holy Father Pope Francis of the Catholic Church and current Head of State of the Vatican City State in August 2022.

Dynastic rights by royal bloodlines and royal laws:

Prince (of blood): In the 16th century, all descendants of French kings by male line (and who could therefore become heirs or ancestors of heirs if the king or dauphin had no sons) who were not sons of the king or dauphin were equated with peers of the realm and called "princes of blood", the king's brother being the "first prince of blood", although they were usually also dukes or had other titles. This meaning was adopted even more widely in Russia from the 18th century onwards: all descendants, even distant ones, of the imperial family were entitled to be called "prince" (kniaz) and the title was also granted especially to certain families, bringing the number of Russian princes to over two thousand. Meanwhile, the brothers, sons and other direct descendants of the reigning tsar were distinguished with the title grand prince or velikiy knyaz, a title also translated as "grand duke", while the heir was the Tsesarevich (female Tsesarevna), literally "son of the Caesar (emperor)".

Code of Laws of the Russian Empire, before the aforesaid date, had the uncontestable right to be admitted to the Russian Nobility.” In addition, the ancient nobility (Russian: Древнее дворянство) was recognised, descendants of Rurik, Gediminas and historical boyars and knyazes, e.g., the Shuyskies, Galitzins, Naryshkins, Khilkoffs, Gorchakovs, Belosselsky-Belozerskys and Chelyadnins. Kniaz continued as a hereditary title of Russian nobility patrilineally descended from Rurik (e.g., Belozersky, Belosselsky-Belozersky, Repnin, Gorchakov) or Gediminas (e.g., Galitzine, Troubetzkoy). Members of Rurikid or Gedyminid families were called princes.

In Germany, the sons and daughters of princes (Fürst), came to be called princes by blood, but by a different word in German (Prinz, feminine Prinzessin). In the 18th century, the title "prince" and "princess" was adopted in Britain for all sons and daughters of the king and male princes (although only the heir was "Prince of Wales"), but the practice was not generalised to other countries. In the Austrian Empire after 1804, similarly, the title "archduke" and "archduchess" came into use for all members of the imperial household, but only the heir was Archduke of Austria.

The Royal Lineage: A Legitimate Heir of the High Kings of Ireland and Kings of Scotland:

The distinguished surname Lamont came to Scotland from Normandy in the 11th century. The surname Lamont comes from the medieval given name Lagman. Lamont is a patronymic surname, which belongs to the category of hereditary surnames. Lamont is derived from the Gaelic name "MacErcharwhich" which comes from the Old Norman "Logmadr." Both words mean " the law man." The Clan's early history is linked with an ancient King of Dalriada, Comgall, who was killed in 537 AD. It is from this king that the district of Cowal received its name. The Kindred of Comgall (Clan Lamont) is mentioned in the 7th century records Senchus Fern Alban (an account of the men of Scotland) and the earliest territories of the Clan included the island of Bute and Arran.

Clan Lamont; Scottish Gaelic: Clann Laomainn [ˈkʰl̪ˠãũn̪ˠ ˈl̪ˠɯːmɪɲ]) is a Highland Scottish clan. The clan is to descend from Ánrothán Ua Néill, an Irish prince of the O'Neill dynasty, and through him Niall Noigíallach, High King of Ireland. Clan Ewen of Otter, Clan MacNeil of Barra, Clan Lachlan, and Clan Sweeney are also descendants of Ánrothán. Traditional genealogy would therefore include Clan Lamont among the descendants of Conn Cétchathach.

This history takes factual information provided by encyclopedias and other historical documents. Other reference material includes birth certificates, death certificates and census data which support the factual basis of this history. The war records and military history of individuals and their family members were also used in the determination of their contributions to the society in which they lived. Other research material included archaeogenetics, the Haplogroup Analytics feature aggregates the known haplogroups of all your ancient matching samples. This provides an estimation of your ancient family tree male and female lines - in this case all matching males will offer a Y-DNA haplogroup. The collective results are displayed and very often display one's own known haplogroups. By combining the latest archaeogenetic techniques with powerful admixture algorithms, can accurately compare anyone with a wide variety of Ancient DNA samples. Via data triangulation and clustering, one can be categorized and compared with ancestors separated by thousands of years.

Two directions of ancestry history were investigated to gain the most effective approach to the design of this history. First the genealogy of Thiago Lamont was traced to her origin of King David II of Scotland. Use of the latest Archaeogenetics test to scientifically determine direct ancestry with King David II of Scotland.

Though shrouded by the mists of time, the early records of Scotland reveal that the name Lamont is of Norman origin, introduced to the region after the Norman conquest of England in the 11th century. The earliest records of the name Lamont was found in Argyllshire (Gaelic erra Ghaidheal), the region of western Scotland corresponding roughly with the ancient Kingdom of Dál Riata, in the Strathclyde region of Scotland, now part of the Council Area of Argyll and Bute, where they were granted lands by King David. One of the first known records is of John Lamont, who, in 1296, rendered homage to King Edward I of England during the latter's brief conquest of Scotland. John Lamont is described as Chief of the Clan Lamont, son of Lagman, who was son of Gilcom M'Ferchar.

However, earlier records show a reference to a Ladhmunn who was son of King David II of Scotland, the son of King Malcolm III of Scotland. This fact was corroborated by archaeogenetics examinations, which proved that Clan Lamont is a descendant of King David II of Scotland.

🇺🇸 Honorable Kentucky Colonel: The honorable Col.

🇺🇸Goodwill ambassador of the Kentucky state.

"Kentucky Colonel, Since 1775". Kentucky Colonelcy.

Unveiling the Shield: Exploring the Riches of The Coat of Arms

Early heraldic designs were personal, used by individual noblemen (who might also alter their chosen design over time). The main element of the Royal Arms is the shield which is divided into four quarters. The elements of the royal coat of arms of Thiago I of Normandy:

Royal purple mantle and "An aquila" (Roman) is the symbol of sovereign power and reserved for royalty. The Aquila is one of the most recognizable Roman symbols. Coming from the Latin word aquila or “eagle”, the Imperial Aquila symbol is the famous perched eagle with wide-spread wings, typically used as the military standard or banner of the Roman legions. Among the ornaments painted on the "Royal purple mantle" in the original version can be seen the "Argead Star". In older references, the name "Argead Star" or "Star of the Argeadai" is used for the Sun as the possible royal symbol of the Argead dynasty of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia. There it was depicted on a golden larnax found in a 4th-century BC royal tomb belonging to either Philip II or Philip III of Macedon, the father and half-brother of Alexander the Great, respectively.

The symbol has several variations based on its representation. Sometimes its wings are lifted high, pointing to the sky, other times they are curved. Sometimes the eagle is shown in a protective pose, guarding something below it with its wings. Nevertheless, the Aquila is always an eagle with outstretched wings.

Oriflamme (from Latin aurea flamma, "golden flame") in the centre of the shield which is divided into four quarters means:

Flags and coats of arms based on this flag were mostly used during the Middle Ages and medieval periods of the Carolingian Empire, first introduced by Charlemagne. Oriflamme was the battle standard of the kings of France. It was originally the sacred banner of the Abbey of Saint-Denis, a monastery near Paris.

The Fleur-de-lis:

Traditionally, it has been used to represent French royalty, and in that sense it is said to signify perfection, light, and life. Legend has it that an angel presented Clovis, the Merovingian king of the Franks, with a golden lily (or iris) as a symbol of his purification upon his conversion to Christianity. Others claim that Clovis adopted the symbol when waterlilies showed him how to safely cross a river and thus succeed in battle.  

Two lions:

The Duchy of Normandy grew out of the 911 Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte between King Charles III of West Francia and the Viking leader Rollo. The duchy was named for its inhabitants, the Normans. The traditional provincial flag, gules, two lions passant or, is used in both former regions of France: Lower Normandy and Upper Normandy. It is based on the design of arms which had been attributed by medieval heralds to William the Conqueror, ultimately related to the 12th-century coat of arms of the House of Anjou.  

Three lions of Angevin Empire and Angevins dynasty:

In 1340, Edward III of England adopted gules, three lions passants guardants or as the Royal Arms of England. Based on this, later attributions have associated the Angevin Empire and its territories, especially the Duchy of Normandy and the Duchy of Aquitaine with the blazon gules, a lion passant guardant or. These attributed arms are not to be confused with the historical coat of arms borne by the Capetian House of Anjou created by Louis IX of France for his brother for Charles I of Naples in 1247.

Red Rose of Lancaster:

The Red Rose of Lancaster (blazoned: a rose gules) was the heraldic badge adopted by the royal House of Lancaster in the 14th century. In modern times it symbolises the county of Lancashire. The exact species or cultivar which it represents is thought to be Rosa gallica officinalis.

The first coat of arms used by the family of the Grand Prince Thiago Lamont Couto de Chandos can be found in "The Purple Book of European Nobility 1926 / Livre du Grand Armurier 1506-1509".

Archaeogenetics: Bridging the Gap Between Past and Present

In addition to the vast catalogued documentation (genealogical books, birth and death certificates) the genealogists and history professors used a DNA sample from Thiago I of Normandy, and proved through state-of-the-art genetic science that all genealogical data is accurate and correct. About Haplogroup Analytics:

Autosomal DNA is a term used in genetic genealogy to describe DNA which is inherited from the autosomal chromosomes. An autosome is any of the numbered chromosomes, as opposed to the sex chromosomes. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (the X chromosome and the Y chromosome).A Y chromosome DNA test (Y-DNA test) is a genealogical DNA test which is used to explore a man's patrilineal or direct father's-line ancestry. The Y chromosome, like the patrilineal surname, passes down virtually unchanged from father to son.

The Haplogroup Analytics feature aggregates the known haplogroups of all your ancient matching samples. This provides an estimation of your ancient family tree male and female lines - in this case all matching males will offer a Y-DNA haplogroup. The collective results are displayed and very often display one's own known haplogroups.

By combining the latest archaeogenetic techniques with powerful admixture algorithms, can accurately compare anyone with a wide variety of Ancient DNA samples. Via data triangulation and clustering, one can be categorized and compared with ancestors separated by thousands of years.

Samples are retrieved from archaelogical digs (e.g. a tooth from human remains) and the DNA is scanned in a complex process aligning the data with the human genome. Samples which are of high quality can then be processed as Ancient DNA samples.Raw samples are available to the public on online academic databases in raw format.

Samples were collected and processed from various public sources including, for example, the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information), where raw SRA files are available.

The highest authority on this advanced technology is George Church is a Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Health Sciences and Technology at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His pioneering work has contributed to the development of DNA sequencing and genome engineering technologies for which he received multiple awards including the 2011 Bower Award and Prize for Achievement in Science from the Franklin Institute and election to the National Academy of Sciences and Engineering. He co-authored over 550 publications, more than 150 patents, and a book titled “Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves”. He also initiated the Personal Genome Project and started over 20 companies.

Archaeogenetics tests have identified that Henri IV first French monarch of the House of Bourbon, is the distant grandfather of Thiago I of Normandy on the paternal line. In 2010, a multidisciplinary team led by Philippe Charlier, a medical forensic examiner at Raymond Poincaré University Hospital in Garches, confirmed that it was the lost head of Henri IV, using a combination of anthropological, paleopathological, radiological and forensic techniques, information that was published in scientific journals and by the BBC. Archaeogenic testing has also identified as distant grandparents, illustrious King Bela III Arpad Dynasty and the great The Griffin Warrior and Palace of Nestor.

After confirmation of the authenticity of Henri IV's remains his head was buried in the Basilica of Saint-Denis, following a mass and national funeral in 2011. On February 12, 2013, a constitution of the king's face was recreated and shown to the public.

Status Quo: The State of Dynastic Sovereignty Today

The royal family of Thiago I of Normandy was persecuted and exiled during the French Revolution, World War I and World War II, and forced against their will to leave their homeland (France, Russia and Germany) and go into exile in countries such as Portugal, Italy and Brazil. It is worth noting that at no time did the ancestors of Thiago I of Normandy abdicate their royal positions or accept the impositions of the usurpers.

Legitimate heir of Lord Lamont Couto d’Chandos of Normandy des grands Carolingiens von Hohestaufen of Munsöätten of Eysteinsson of Møre and Romsdal of Burgundy of Anjou, His royal highness, by the grace of God, Grand Prince of Kingdom of Neustria, Prince the Principality of Château of Saint Sauveur, 72th Grand Master of the Order and Head of the Royal House Neustria and the Royal House of MacDonnell Lamont Couto d’ Chandos. The Grand Master is supported by a Royal Deputation within the Order’s Grand Magistry in Ireland, Scotland the United Kingdom

The recognition of the Dynastic Sovereign Status of Thiago I of Normandy is based in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the principles of international law:

“It is worth mentioning also that the princely families, with the sovereign attributes, requires no recognition by the government of their country of origin, or submit any record in countries where its members settle in residence. The dynastic and political independence is based on the Sovereignty itself, which guides their social existence andregardless of any legal recognition, with respect to dynastic and private affairs. ” “Studies on Nobility Law”, by Dr. Mario Silvestre de Meroe, pg. 65

Professor Emilio Furno, an Italian advocate in the Supreme Court of Appeal, writes as follows “The Legitimacy of Non-National Orders”, Rivista Penale, No.1, January 1961, pp. 46-70:

“The qualities which render a deposed sovereign a subject of international law are undeniable and in fact constitute an absolute personal right of which the subject may never divest himself and which needs no ratification or recognition on the part of any other authority whatsoever. A reigning sovereign or head of state may use the term recognition in order to demonstrate the existence of such a right, but the term would be a mere declaration and not a constitutive act.” (Furno, op.cit.)

It’s accepted by International law that the sovereign attributes are indelibly connected to a family that once ruled being passed to the descendants according to that family specific laws of succession.

“. . . the king does not forfeit the character of royalty merely by the loss of his kingdom. If he is unjustly despoiled of it by an usurper, or by rebels, he still preserves his rights. . . .” (Emerich de Vattel, The Law of Nations, Book II, chapter XII, no. 196)

Professor Dr. W. Baroni Santos in his book Treaty of Heraldry declared:

“The doctrine and jurisprudence have confirmed that the territorial power is not necessary for the exercise of the dynasty, for they are inserted in the person of the sovereign, which keeps the same after the loss of the throne, passing them regularly to their heirs and successors.”

“The loss of its territory in no way diminishes its sovereign powers, because these are inherent in the person of the sovereign, transmitting it, perpetually to their descendants.” (Vol. I, 5th ed., 1978, p. 197-198)

Recent jurisprudence corroborates:

“(…) it’s irrelevant if that Imperial family is no longer ruling for centuries, because the deposition doesn’t harm the sovereign prerogatives even if the sovereign renounces, spontaneously, to the throne. In substance, in this case, the Sovereign does not cease to be King, even living in exile or in private life (without claiming his sovereignty), because his prerogatives are, itself, by birth and cannot be extinguished, but remains and may be transmitted in time, from generation to generation.”

Court sentence of the Republican Italy (Pretoria de Vico Del Gargano, Italian Republic, sentence number 217/1949)

Still according to Prof. Furno:

“The prerogatives which we are examining may be denied and a sovereign state within the limits of its own sphere of influence may prevent the exercise by a deposed Sovereign of his rights in the same way as it may paralyze the use of any right not provided in its own legislation. However such negating action does not go to the existence of such a right and bears only on its exercise.”(Furno, op.cit.)

The eminent author concludes:

“To sum up, therefore, the Italian judiciary, in those cases submitted to its jurisdiction, has confirmed the prerogatives jure sanguinis of a dethroned Sovereign without any vitiation of its effects, whereby in consequence it has explicitly recognized the right to confer titles of nobility and other honorifics relative to his dynastic heraldic patrimony.” (Furno, op.cit.)

“Neither the elapsed time, even for centuries, or non-use of the acts of sovereignty exercised by the Prince Pretender, Head of Name and Arms of his house, may be derogated, prescribed or canceled. He/She Retains these rights until the end of times ‘ ad perpetuam rei tenendam ‘ which are inserted in the person of Prince Pretender. ” Professor Dr W. Baroni Santos, Doctor D’etat (post-doctorate/ habilitation) from the University of Reims in France in his book “Treaty of Heraldry and Nobility Law” Volume II page 52

That goes in harmony with one of the forefathers of International law, Hugo Grotius who wrote:

“. . . in order that silence may establish the presumption of abandonment of ownership, two conditions are requisite, that the silence be that of one who acts with knowledge and of his own free will. For the failure to act on the part of one who does not know is without legal effect.” (On the Law of War and Peace, Book I, chapter IV, number 5).

According to another forefather of international law, Emmerich Vattel in the book “The law of Nations”:

“CHAP. XI. OF USUCAPTION AND PRESCRIPTION AMONG NATIONS”

§ 144. Claimant alleging reasons for his silence.

In cases of ordinary prescription, the same argument cannot be used against a claimant who alleges just reasons for his silence, as, the impossibility of speaking, or a well-founded fear, &c., because there is no longer any room for a presumption that he has abandoned his right. It is not his fault if people have thought themselves authorized to form such a presumption; nor ought he to suffer in consequence: he cannot therefore be debarred the liberty of clearly proving his property. This method of defense in bar of prescription has been often employed against princes whose formidable power had long silenced the feeble victims of their usurpations.”

In other words:

“Presumption of neglect cannot justly exist, where the original owner has, by ignorance of his rights, or by deception, or personal fear, been prevented from claiming what he is entitled to. If he knew not that he had a right, he could not be supposed to relinquish it. And if fear or fraud induced his neglect, his mind could not have voluntarily consented.” (John Penford Thomas, A Treatise of Universal Jurisprudence, chapter II, no. 13, 1829, p. 34)

According to Professor Noel Cox, a world acclaimed Expert in Royalty and Nobility (letter 1/11/11):

“The broader question of usucapio, or prescription, is an interesting one. in principle international law recognises extinctive prescription, where one sovereign state loses pre-existing rights to another, through failure to assert them. However, the actual application of the principle is extremely uncertain. More importantly, while it may affect such matters as international boundaries, it would have no application over the internal state of affairs. Thus, whether an exiled ruler is still the head of State of a country is not clearly a question of prescription at all. Dynastic right may expire according to domestic law, but international law is a vague and uncertain basis for a ruling. Such examples as the recognition of the Communist Government in Peking, over the Taiwan-based Nationalists, show how difficult this can be. But these questions have little to do with the creation of nobility, or those sorts of matters…”

The organization is now in a unique position to lead by example, inspire positive change, and make a lasting difference in the world.

The nomination of the "Sov Sovereign Order of the Knights of the Lord Lamont Couto of Sct Ltd (United Kingdom)" to the United Nations' Special Consultative Status is an unprecedented endorsement of the UN's recognition of its royal stature and its unbroken connection with the Illustrious Royal House of MacDonnell Lamont Couto d’ Chandos. This distinction not only honors the rich historical heritage and royal lineages of Lord Lamont Couto but also solidifies his status as a legitimate descendant of dynasties that have significantly shaped the history of Europe and beyond.

Lord Lamont Couto, as a blood heir to the earliest royal dynasties of the Angevin English and French Empire, the Julio-Claudian, Carolingian, Merovingian dynasties, the Royal Dynasty of Gwynedd, the Royal House of Troy, the Yngling dynasty, the Capetian dynasty, the Royal House of Normandy, the Plantagenet dynasty, the Rurik dynasty, and Munsöätten dynasty, and bearing the royal title of "Grand Prince" with the style of Imperial Highness, represents a living link to historical past and the continuity of royal traditions.

This recognition by the UN, in conferring Special Consultative Status on his Order, not only validates the contemporary importance of this heritage but also reaffirms respect for royal lineages and the historical contribution of reigning families to the formation of modern civilization.

The awarding of this status to the Order is a recognition of its humanitarian mission and efforts to promote peace, justice, and sustainable development globally, aligned with the UN's objectives and principles. It reflects the understanding that leadership and influence can be inspired by nobility of character and commitment to altruistic causes, qualities that are the essence of royalty and service to humanity.

This recognition aligns with the historic declaration of 1573, a moment when Charles IX of France, along with nine princes of the blood, consolidated the notion that the right of blood is an inalienable right that surpasses traditional legal conventions. Such a principle ensured that blood heirs were considered for succession to the throne, regardless of their place of birth, establishing a precedent for understanding that royal legitimacy transcends territorial and legal limitations. This underscored the importance of blood princes within the French monarchy, whose lineages derived directly from the Capetian dynasty, also known as the House of France. Under Salic law, only direct male descendants were recognized, highlighting the uniqueness of the right of blood and its ability to connect generations through an unbroken lineage of inheritance and responsibility.

Therefore, the nomination not only celebrates the historical and cultural contribution of the dynasties to which Lord Lamont Couto is inextricably linked but also recognizes his position as a contemporary force for good, capable of uniting people through mutual respect for heritage and dedication to human progress. This act by the United Nations not only honors Lord Lamont Couto's royal lineage but also highlights the enduring relevance of royal traditions in promoting humanitarian objectives and strengthening international understanding and cooperation.
