St.Joan of France also known as St.Joan of Valois founded the Order of the Annunciation.The sisters in France are mainly cloistered but in Beligum there is an active branch that does teaching and other work. Someone mentioned St.Elizabeth of Hungary.She was the niece of St.Hedwig of Silesea.The...

Thanks for the link I'll have to check it out.

Just browsing through some threads and saw this. I really have to agree with your assement. Don't even think she's that pretty and I wonder if he married her to in some way defy his relatives. Any of us would be a better bride.

Well I'm curious how many children Charlemagne really had and the names of these children.I might have to go to Wikipedia or Google to try to search for their names out of curiosity. As you state the royal blood would be pretty well diluted by now whether from Charlemagne or someone else.My...

The order still exists as a religious order in the Catholic Church so the later two websites you list are indeed correct. The first one not sure if its a fraud or not or rather some tribute page to the order.

german and austrian royalty and nobility I think the Almanach de Gotha on line might have have what you are looking for.There are a number of medieval armorials and other books on line.I think Siebmacher's WappenBuch ia also online too.

Well I'd buy the castle if I had the money,but I don't. I do hope they find a good use for it.

TThis woman's remark about George V being Hitler's father is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard of. Everyone knows that Adolf's father was Alois Hitler, born Alois Schikelgruber,son of Maria Schikelgruber. Later on she married a fellow by the last name of Heidler(Hitler). He never...

Now wasn't ZsaZsa's husband adopted by a Princess of Anhalt? I seem to recall reading that some place. Also as a side note, there is a small community off of Texas Hwy 46 in Comal County north of San Antonio called Anhalt.Not much really there.:whistling:
