Towards the end of the 15th Century, evidence suggests that there was a secret society operated in the North East of Scotland by the Lairds, led by the Earls of Huntly. This group was very involved in the politics of Scotland having been active in the assassination of the Bonny Earl of Moray in 1592. Later references in Privy Records refer to an organisation called the Band of the Boys led by Gordon of Gight, an ancestor of the notorious Lord Byron. This was an illegal group with its own set of Rules that had been in existence for quite a number of years. Regrettably throughout the generations they had become very much a law unto themselves and had essentially become a band of Upper-class outlaws.
The leader of this group in 1715 was Lord George Keith, Earl Marishal, who formed it into a very active intelligence unit to aid the Stuart cause. He also helped set up other similar organisations in both England and France, being "The Knights of St Thomas Acon" and the "Realm of Sion". He is credited by some with the re-introduction of the Knights Templar into Scotland about this time, and there is sufficient evidence linking some 18th Century Preceptories to this date to tenuously support this assertion. These organisations supplied the necessary intelligence to help plan the abortive 1745 uprising.....

In the 17th century the Prieuré Note Dame de Sion was renamed to become the Order of the Realm of Sion, and was affiliated to the Stewart Royal Society - a scientific academy in Britain. The exiled King James VII of Scots (James II of England) succeeded to the Grand Mastership in 1689, at which time the Order became exclusively Jacobite.
The Grand Mastership has been held ever since by King James's heirs, with various Regents deputizing after the Stewarts were exiled in 1688.

It is not clear when and where Keith was initiated into Freemasonry. Sources present no veritable information about his Masonic activities before coming to Russia or after his appointment as the Provincial Grand Master during his stay in London from February 1740 till May 1741: on 28 March 1740 James Keith, "Esq; Lieutenant General in the Service of Russia" was present at the meeting "with the Masters and Wardens of fifty-eight lodges in the Devils's Tavern [when] John Keith, Earl of Kintore, was elected the Grand Master."

there is better agreement that Freemasonry in Russia began with the flamboyant Lord James Keith (1696 - 1758), a descendent from Scottish nobility, banished in 1715 for his support of the Stuart Pretender. He served in the Spanish Army, before moving to Russia in 1728 with the recommendation of Phillip V, and by the early 1740's was a leading Russian (sic) Army General. The Russian Empress Anna appointed him as the military governor of the Ukraine. But, importantly for our story, Keith was made Provincial Grand Master of Russian Freemasonry in 1740 by the Grand Master of England who also happened to be Keith's Cousin. Captain John Phillips had been appointed to this office for Russia in 1731, but there is no evidence to suggest he ever exercised it.
The minutes of the premier Grand Lodge of England for 24 June 1731 record:
"Then the Grand Master and his General Officers signed a Deputation for our Rt. Worshipful Brother John Phillips Esqr. to be Grand Master of free and accepted Masons within the Empires of Russia and Germany and Dominions and Territories thereunto belonging, and his health was drank wishing Prosperity to the Craft in those parts" (Batham, Transactions, p.34).

"When all was concluded they rose to separate, but just before leaving,the grand vizier suddenly went to Marischal Keith and, taking him cordially by the hand, declared in the broadest Scotch (sic) dialect that it made him ’unco’ happy to meet a countryman in his exalted station.

Judging, however, that his rewards were not commensurate with his merits, he in 1747 offered his services to Frederick II of Prussia, who at once gave him the rank of field marshal, in 1749 made him governor of Berlin, and soon came to cherish towards him, as towards his brother, the 10th Earl Marischal, a strong personal regard.

A plot, centuries old, Employing the Knights Templar and Masons, with the intention of crowning a single King over all of Europe and the world.
I thought this was the forum for conspiracy research threads? You need to start somewhere, but if I start at the beginning people would get lost along the way.
So I'm beinning at the point where the leaders of Freemasonry in the largest nations of Europe are all family with a special relationship. The Great Marischal[Marshall], in Scotland, was second only to the King. It is this duality of the monarchy that allowed the plot to progress so far for so long.
Before King James, the so-called Pretender, was forced into exile preparations were already underway for him and his ancestors to go through all of Europe killing off the competing monarchies.

An old instance of this isamusingly recounted by Edward Keith-Roach in his memoir, Pasha of Jerusalem: on Yom Kippur in 1928 the rabbis set up a male/female division at the Western Wall. The Arabs complained to the governor that they had no right to do so, and he removed the structure (plus rabbis clinging to it).

Rumors were spread that the Jews had killed Arabs in Jerusalem, that the Jews had burned down the Al-Aqsa mosque (supposedly this was documented with a fake photo) or that the Jews were planning to build a synagogue near the wailing wall.

"What occurred in the upper chambers of Slonim's house could be seen when we found the twelve-foot-high ceiling splashed with blood. The rooms looked like a slaughterhouse. When I visited the place in the company of Captain Marek Schwartz, a former Austrian artillery officer, the blood stood in a huge pool on the slightly sagging stone floor of the house. We stood silently contemplating the scene of slaughter when the door was suddenly flung open by a British soldier. In strolled Mr. Keith Roach, governor of the Jaffa district, followed by a colonel of the Green Howards battalion of the King's African Rifles. They took a hasty glance around that awful room, and Mr. Roach remarked to his companion, 'Shall we have lunch now or drive to Jerusalem first?'"

AD: Battle of Teutonberg Forest: King Arminius of the Chatti kills a Roman general and escapes into the Teutonberg forest. Rome sends an army, calvary, and ships over German lakes and discover bleached bones of dead Roman soldiers in forest groves. The Roman army moves toward Gaule, where they think Arminius is, and are killed by quicksand and drowning. Surviving soldiers are paid off, sent home, and honored with a feast of bravery. The losing Roman general is poisoned.
Professor Waddell in his map of Eastern Asia gives western Media as the home of the Guti or Catti, which name we have seen is a derivation of Gadil or Gad, and therefore either men of Gad or Judah or both, as we have seen they formed the backbone of the growing power of Media.

This was the period of Zoroaster or Zarathustra, who was undoubtedly a Catti ro Israelite and who introduced the Bel-fire worship of the Catti from the Phoenician homeland into Ariana, the Persia of later days. Zoroaster taught the existence of one God, the cretor of all things, to whom all things belong. Zoroaster ’ s faith was a religion of righteousness or “ Asha, ” from which is derived the word Asia. Like the Phoenicians, he and his followers worshiped God through His visible symbol, the Sun, from which the Parsee religin developed which stillsurvives in India until today.

The Order of Masonry was instituted by Godfrey de Bouillon, in Palestine, in 1330, after the defeat of the Christian armies, and was communicated only to a few French Masons, some time afterwards, as a reward for the services which they had rendered to the English and Scottish Knights. From these latter true Masonry is derived. Their Mother Lodge is situated on the mountain of Heredom, where the first Lodge in Europe was held, which still exists in all its splendor. The Council General is always held here, and it is the seat of the Sovereign Grand Master for the time being. This mountain is situated between the West and the North of Scotland, sixty miles from Edinburgh.

These include a fine early seventeenth century monument to the Anderson family, spiro-form carvings on the exterior of the Ogee window of possible Rosicrucian significance, and the unidentified tombstone of a crusading knight. It is possible that this is a memorial to Sir William Keith, a companion of the Sir James Douglas on his campaign to take the heart of Robert the Bruce to the Holy Land. Upon the failure of that mission Keith brought back the heart of Bruce to Melrose Abbey, and the body of Douglas to St. Bride's Church, Douglas.
The Franks emerged into recorded history in the 3rd century AD as a Germanic tribe living on the east bank of the lower Rhine River. Linguistically, they belonged to the Rhine-Weser group of Germanic-speakers. At this time they were divided into three groups: the Salians, the Ripuarians, and the Chatti, or Hessians. These branches were related to each other by language and custom, but politically they were independent tribes. In the mid-3rd century the Franks tried unsuccessfully to expand westward across the Rhine into Roman-held Gaul. In the mid-4th century the Franks again attempted to invade Gaul, and in 358 Rome was compelled to abandon the area between the Meuse and Scheldt rivers (now in Belgium) to the Salian Franks. During the course of these drawn-out struggles the Franks were gradually influenced by Roman civilization. Some Frankish leaders became Roman allies (foederati) in the defense of the Roman frontier, and many Franks served as auxiliary soldiers in the Roman army.

Footnotes to the succession:
1. Serena Brunetti has a daughter by Vieri Fiori: Beatrice Fiori *1979. Serena and Vieri have a civil marriage union; Serena divorced her husband Vanni Pozzolini. Beatrice was born before her parents' civil marriage took place. Even if the marriage union of her parents were considered valid, it is doubtful if this would legitimate Beatrice in respect to the succession to the throne. Past precedent (e.g. the Duke of Lancaster and Katherine Swynford) would suggest that while marriage legitimates all children born to a couple before their marriage, this does not give these children a right to the throne.

The Hittites were known to the Assyrians as Chatti, and to the Egyptians as Kheta, and their history has been very fully recovered from the records of the XVIIIth and XIXth Egyptian Dynasties, from the Tell el-Amarna Letters, from Assyrian annals and, quite recently, from copies of letters addressed to Babylonian rulers by the Hittite kings, discovered by Dr. H. Winckler in the ruins of Boghaz-keui ("the town of the pass"), the ancient Pterium in Pontus, East of the river Halys. The earliest known notice (King, Egypt and West Asia, 250) is in the reign of Saamsu-ditana, the last king of the first Babylonian Dynasty, about 2000 BC, when the Hittites marched on the "land of Akkad," or "highlands" North of Mesopotamia.
......
The famous poem of Pentaur gives an exaggerated account of the victory won by Rameses II at Kadesh, over the allies, who included the people of Carchemish and of many other unknown places; for it admits that the Egyptian advance was not continued, and that peace was concluded. A second war occurred later (when the sons of Rameses II were old enough to take part), and a battle was then fought at Tuneb (Tennib) far North of Kadesh, probably about 1316 BC. The celebrated treaty between Rameses II and Chattusil was then made, in the 21st year of the first named. It was engraved on a silver tablet having on the back the image of Set (or Sutekh), the Hittite god of heaven, and was brought to Egypt by Tar-Tessubas, the Hittite envoy. The two "great kings" treated together as equals, and formed a defensive and offensive alliance, with extradition clauses which show the advanced civilization of the age. In the 34th year of his reign, Rameses II (who was then over 50 years of age) married a daughter of Chattusil, who wrote to a son of Kadashman-Turgu (probably Kadashman-burias) to inform this Kassite ruler of Babylon of the event. He states in another letter that he was allied by marriage to the father of Kadashman-Turgu, but the relations between the Kassite rulers and the Hittites were not very cordial, and complaints were made on both sides. Chattusil died before Rameses II, who ruled to extreme old age; for the latter (and his queen) wrote letters to Pudukhipa, the widow of this successful Hittite overlord. He was succeeded by Dudhalia, who calls himself "the great king" and the "son of Pudukhipa the great queen, queen of the land of the city of the Chatti."
......
A second invasion by the Aryans occurred in the reign of Rameses III (about 1200 BC) when "agitation seized the peoples of the North," and "no people stood before their arms, beginning with the people of the Chatti, of the Kati, of Carchemish and Aradus." The invaders, including Danai (or early Greeks), came by land and sea to Egypt, but were again defeated, and Rameses III--the last of the great Pharaohs--pursued them far north, and is even supposed by Brugsch to have conquered Cyprus. Among the cities which he took he names Carchemish, and among his captives were "the miserable king of the Chatti, a living prisoner," and the "miserable king of the Amorites."

In 831 BC Qubarna, the vassal king of the Chattinai in Syria, was murdered by his subjects, and an Assyrian tartanu or general was sent to restore order.
In 709 BC Sargon states the king of Ashdod was deposed by "people of the Chatti " who set up Azuri instead. In 673 BC, Esar-haddon speaks of "22 kings of the Chatti and near the sea." Tarku, Tarkhan, in Hittite names parallels Mongol dargo and Turkish tarkhan, "tribal chief." Sil "ruler" Akkadian; naz is an element in Hittite and Kassite (Iranian) names

""The [northern] Hittites [Chatti] seem to have had a special fancy for combining parts of different animals into strangely composite and sometimes grotesque forms" (Dictionary of the Bible, vol.2 article, "Hittites") He goes on to say that they were responsible for bringing the double headed eagle into Europe. They have even found in Turkey, where the ancient Hittes lived, the same symbol found in Europe, the double headed eagle.

"The Chatti were known to carry standards such as were seen in many Nazi parades...the swastika...Another ritual standard and the ancient Chatti ...[was] the Iron Cross..." (Twentieth Century Watch Magazine, Dec 1984, p.6).

Now what does the word "Hatti" or "Chatti" mean in the Hebrew language? Its closest derivation is the root "chathath" (Strongs - 2865). It means "to terrorize, or break down, as in war, hence a warrior or MAN OF WAR." The Chatti were therefore Men of War or Germans. The name Chatti is but the Hebrew form of the word GERMAN, THE VERY WORD which the Romans applied to the Assyrians. That means that the ancient Chatti were Assyrian -- or German -- migrants who early settled in Asia Minor. Did these Chatti or Hatti later also migrate into Western Europe, where the Germans are today? Indeed! The Chatti were the chief people who settled in modern Germany. Their descendants are the HESSIANS today! In fact, the Old High German spelling of Hesse was Hatti! The land of Hatti was the WESTERN part of the Assyrian Empire.
The ancient Assyrian Empire was divided just as the modern Germans were divided between East and West Germany and Austria. THE ANCIENT KINGS OF ASSYRIA called themselves Khatti-sars -- meaning the "Kaisers of Hatti," or "Kings of Hatti." The chief people of Hatti regarded themselves AS ASSYRIANS. The Assyrian kings wrote of the tribes of Hatti -- the ancestors of the Hessians: "AS ASSYRIANS I [ac]counted them" (D. D. Luckenbill, "Ancient Records of Assyria and Babylonia", Vol. II, § 29).

Returning to the Chatti: obviously, there were/are two types of Aryans as I have demonstrated in my book, Ancient Science where I wrote:
When one tracks back through all of the ancient "matters" and studies the different groups, trying to follow them as they moved from place to place, studying the genetic morphology in order to keep track of who is who, and comparing linguistics and myth and archaeology, one comes to the startling realization that there were significant polarities throughout space and time. I have tentatively identified these polarities as the Circle People and the Triangle - or Pyramid - People. In a general sense, one can see the broad brush of the triangle people in the Southern hemisphere, in the pyramids and related cultures and artifacts. For the most part, their art is primitive and stylistically rigid. In the northern hemisphere, one sees the circle makers, the spirals, the rough megaliths, the art of Lascaux and Chauvet and the many other caves. One can note a clear difference between the perceptions and the response to the environment between the two trends and groups.

The chief of these Phoenician inscriptions, and the first to be reported in Britain, is carved upon a hoary old stone of about 400 B.C. (see Frontispiece), dedicated to Bel, the Phoenician god of the Sun (see Fig. 1), by a votary who calls himself therein by all three titles of "Phoenic-ian," "Brit-on" and "Scot," by ancient forms of these titles; and whose personal appearance is presumably illustrated in the nearly contemporary sculpture from his homeland, Fig. 10 (p. 46). In thus preserving for us the name and titles of a "prehistoric" literate Phoenician king of North Britain upon his own original monument, it at the same time supplies a striking proof of the veracity of the ancient tradition cited in the heading, which the Eastern branch of Aryans has faithfully preserved in their famous epic, "The Great Barats" (Maha Barata), in regard to the prehistoric world- wide civilizing conquests of the Panch or "Phoenicians," the greatest ruling clan of the Aryan Barats, or Brihats, who, we shall find, were the ancestors of the "Brits" or Brit-ons, our own ancestors.

Swastika svastika (Sanskrit) An auspicious or lucky object; especially applied to the mystic symbol -- a cross with four equal arms, the extremities of which are bent sharply at right angles, all in the same direction -- marked upon persons and things in order to denote good luck, although originally the symbol had a far deeper significance. Sometimes the arms are bent to the left, sometimes to the right.
The symbol is very widespread, and extremely ancient, engraved on every rock-temple and prehistoric building in India, and wherever Buddhists have flourished, as well as in Greece, among the ancient Scandinavians, and in ancient America. It has been called the Jaina Cross; Fylfot, Mjolnir, or Thor's Hammer by the Scandinavian peoples; and in the Chaldean Book of Numbers the Worker's Hammer.
