THE DUKE OF THECROSS AND CROZIER |
Welcome to the homepage of the hereditary Duke of the Cross and Crozier. I was first made a Baron and later elevated in rank to Duke by the Patriarch of the Apostolic Orthodox Church. Traditionally there have been three recognized fons honorum or sources with the authority to grant noble titles: The sovereign or former sovereign, the State, and the Patriarchs of the Christian Churches. My title is ecclesiastical and honorific in nature.
Look what the well respected Almanach de Bruxelles has written about Ecclesiastical nobility. Read especially the last paragraph.
