(Note: If the pictures do not align up on the right side of the screen, please enlarge the print by going to "View" or "Page" and then "Text Size" and choosing a larger text. Or, narrow the screen in one of several ways till the pictures are all on the right side.)

(1) No one can just assume a title of nobility, imperial or otherwise, merely because it is vacant or no one is presently using it. Such self-styled, self assuming individuals are imposters. It might help to remember that only a true sovereign, regnant or "de jure," can create, restore or rehabilitate a title or bestow upon a person a real and true knighthood. All honors must spring from a genuine, authentic source or fountain of honor otherwise it must be rejected as worthless pretense. (see "Sovereignty")

(2) The selling of so-called royal lines or noble pedigrees by unscrupulous genealogists that have no documentation for their claims immediately raises a red flag. People who do this are usually charlatans and the ancestral lines they sell are nothing more than fantasy cake. The

purchase of such deceptions will only bring ultimate disappointment unless it has some basis in fact or actual evidence to back it up.

(3) Any claim of validity whether it be for illustrious ancestors, noble or royal status, knighthood or some other title of high honor that is unsupportable, obviously, cannot be acknowledged as authentic. Certification of any kind is based on solid, sturdy evidence. If there is no substantiation to back up the claim as genuine, there can be no official recognition given.

(4) The sale of English, Welsh and Irish feudal titles created by the United Kingdom are illegal by virtue of a lawful and sovereign act of Parliament (both in England and Ireland in the 17th Century) which has been supported by case law ever since. Being legally abolished, these non-entities cannot be certified, because, by sovereign law, in other words, legally and lawfully these titles no longer exist. This law, by the way, has never been rescinded

and is still binding. Therefore, to sell them is to sell what does not exist or worthless fakes. This law does not have any impact on titles never created by the United Kingdom, such as, clan titles, nor does it impact titles that are honorific made by Letters Patent from the Crown, by a Summons to be a Member of the House of Lords or by the Chief Herald long ago when their word had the legal weight of public law.

(5) The act of legally changing one's name to add a title by deed poll or some other method does not create a legitimate or authentic title out of a make believe or phony one. Nor does a legal adoption or marriage into a noble or royal family give that person a true title, unless the head of the family, having sovereign authority, has officially and openly sanctioned and approved of it.

(6) Buying a portion of feudal land does not necessarily create a noble title, especially in England or Ireland where feudal titles have been eliminated and are null and void. Nor is it an acceptable practice to buy a small portion of shared land (i.e. a square foot as advertised on some websites) in Scotland or somewhere else and expect to legitimately become a Laird or Baron of this land, or obtain some other title. This is obviously a money-making scheme designed to rip people off and is unacceptable and has no validity.

(7) Neither a legal land registry, land certificate or a statutory declaration with an apostille (a fancy international notarization attached) from Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State can make a pretend title somehow valid and legitimate. Yet this kind of nonsense is being advertised as possible on the internet.

(8) Titles or knighthoods created by churches or commoners or ordinary people are not sovereign or noble titles. They are a fabrication. Unless such a title or knighthood is from the Roman Catholic Pope, who has actual recognized

sovereignty, or some other noble, royal or imperial sovereign authority, such titles are bogus especially when they imitate what is real and genuine. Too many imposters are out there impersonating and in some cases taking advantage of the ignorance of others through the sale of counterfeits. Unless a title, knighthood or order is created by a "de jure" or reigning sovereign, it must be rejected.

(9) Another scam that is being perpetuated is obtaining a title from a bogus order of knighthood that possesses neither true knighthood or true sovereignty. Therefore its titles are worthless and without substance. Fake princes can only create falsehoods and illusions or pretense.

(10) Titles from the so-called Byzantine Empire are counterfeit. This is because the last known heir to the Byzantine Throne sold all his Imperial rights to the French crown in 1494. There are over six so-called Imperial Byzantine

claimants none of which are authentic. Anyone who has received a title or knighthood from any of these individuals was given a falsehood. (see "Sovereignty and the Future of Nobility and Royalty" under the subchapter of "Ownership and Property Rights.")

(11) Imaginary micronations are often created as kingdoms, principalities or dukedoms. They do not have real sovereignty, therefore, their titles are merely fantasy and pretence. True titles are built on absolute truth or the rock of reality.

(12) Recently, a new trick or legal gimmick (might be a bribe) has emerge where you can take a vacant, unused or straight-out phony or fictious title and have a European court recognize that it is your title and thereby, by magic, somehow, it is supposed to make it genuine. This, of course, is a scam—an act of deception and deceit. It is just another fraudulent game being played or used to make a falsehood look like it is real and authentic. It must be remembered that no falsehood can ever be certified as real or be considered legitimate in any way. Bearing such a phony title cannot be anything other than what it is, a fake or counterfeit made to look like it is something honest and unadulterated.

None of the above deceptions or schemes provide what is legitimately real and should be shunned and avoided. It is a underhanded and shady business that would be involved in or encourage any of the above scams or counterfeits. The International Commission was created to promote only what is actual, true, authentic and genuine built on solid truth or undeniable evidence. (See "Suspicious Claims")

Although the International Commission on Nobility and Royalty has not been set up to expose false nobility or make believe titles, it will list any companies or individuals who have withheld vital information that made it impossible for an applicant to be certified in the hope that this may be cleared up.

The following claims were rejected on the basis of insufficient evidence or significant contrary information. The fatal flaw or defect in each claim is identified below as well as the company or individual that appears to be at fault. This is our blacklist. Until these companies or individuals clear up their failure or right their wrongs, we will continue to publish their folly. The following were all victims of one company headed by Antonio A. Boada and Roger Pitts-Tucker & Co. assisting in the process. There are others victims of several different con games for which we have some evidence of fraud or deceit, but unfortunately the victims do not want us to involve them in any way, therefore, we cannot put these con artists onto the blacklist. However, there is ample evidence against the following offending company and the men (named above) who perpetuated the crime:

1. Client could not establish genuine fons honorum that is, that the so-called Prince of Galilee had authentic regal rights to make him a true knight. The so-called Prince of Galilee supposedly obtained his title through the Head of a Royal family–a family that is unlisted and unrecognized in the earth, through British Feudal Investments, Ltd. Contrary evidence exists showing the

claim to be without merit or adequate support because the so-called royal family no longer exists.

2. Client could not establish an authentic link or connection to an Imperial and Royal family that supposedly conveyed a title through the Trade Consult Group, Ltd. or British Feudal Investment, Ltd. Again this company would not, upon repeat requests, supply any evidence to show that this claim was valid and convincing, and formidable contrary evidence exists as to the legitimacy of the claim.

3. Client could not establish an authentic link or connection to a recognized noble of the British Isles that supposedly conveyed said title through British Feudal Investments, Ltd. This company did not supply proof that their claim was valid and contrary evidence exists in that the nobleman specified denies ever owning the title and it appears most probable that the title never actually existed in history.

4. Client could not establish an authentic link or connection to an Imperial and Royal European family that supposedly conveyed a title through the Hohenzollern Family Land Trust, Inc. and British Feudal Investment, Ltd. Again, this company did not provide any substantiation for their claim of authenticity and significant contrary evidence exists to refute it.

A new group must be added to the list. We have a lot of compelling evidence on them that they represent a falsehood. This group is called the Imperial Order of St. Mary of Zion. The Crown Prince of Ethiopia--the only legal fons honorum of Imperial Ethiopia has not authorized or confirmed that this group is acceptable. Nor is it, for sure, that any Imperial Order of Ethiopia, no matter who awards it, has the backing of the Imperial Crown Prince. This will hopefully be remedied, but, as of right now, any order awarded by Imperial Ethiopia must be considered to be void.

Any company or individual listed in this section can have their name removed simply by providing the required proof so the claim may be substantiated, or by refunding the money paid for such title or noble/royal lineage, and righting their wrongs, that is, making up for any damages caused to the individual concerned.
