Considering the fact that the de Vere family were never of sovereign status, it's a little bit odd that this person has co-opted the title "Prince" with the qualification of "Royal Highness". I couldn't read his genealogical charts - he obviously scanned typewritten sheets in a font too small for HTML. I have a 27" monitor and still couldn't read them. Any idea what phantom kingdom this person is claiming? That dusty bit on Mars that's being bandied about of late as the home of the Gods, perhaps? So far this guy makes even "Prince" Michael look good! I noticed another inconsistency on this site. After going to the trouble of claimining that his order is the Dragon Order founded by Emperor Sigismund, he then turns around and says it isn't. Also the date of it's founding - 1408 - is historically incorrect. Sigismund founded the "Society of the Defeated Dragon" in 1418, after the Council of Constance. The date Mr. de Vere gives is too early. And does anyone else find it odd that he doesn't have a e-mail link on his site? I smell another attempt to re-write history for personal gain; which, IMHO, takes the Dragon Order out of the realm of serious PoS studies and consigns it to the looney bin.
