Insignia of the Hungarian Ordo Draconis"Zsigmond inherited the Dragon legacy in 1397, when he drew up the Ordo Draconis (Brotherhood of the Snake) with twenty- three nobles that included Vladislav Jagello; Christopher III; the kings of Poland, Denmark, and Norway; King Aragon of Lithuania; and many other important nobles of Europe. The members all wore the sign of the Rosi Crucis, and then later in 1439, the Duke of Norfolk joined the order. Zsigmond was then crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1411."
"This Dragon fraternity was resurrected to become the successor to the ancient Dragon Court of Egypt and, in particular, Heliopolis, where the Great White (Snake) Brotherhood of the Therapeutate resided. The Dragon Court was established, according to Gardner, as a Pharonic institution of science and scholarship, where the Royal Court provided for the priestly pursuits and teachings of Thoth, just as the Great White Brotherhood of Tutmosis III also did in Egypt. It was the obligation of these Masters to ensure the purity of the continuing royal bloodline that was perpetuated through the Dragon queens of the matrilineal Grail succession, just as it was in ancient Egypt." ~ Gary Wayne -Genesis 6 Conspiracy.
A Dragon Family who served as Grand Masters in Emperor Sigismund's Order of the Dragon are the Bathorys. Although most people tend to think of Dracula and his family as the rulers of Transylvania, in truth this honor belongs to the House of Bathory, who were the principle Dragon Family and rulers of Transylvania during the 16th-17th Centuries. The Bathory Dragon Family was originally founded by Briccius Bathory, a member of the Gutkeled Clan of Hungarian nobles that originated in the German Duchy of Swabia. Strategic unification between the Dragon Families of the Houses of Bathory, Lusignan and Basarab (the family of Dracula) have occurred on numerous occasions, including Vlad III’s (Dracula) first marriage to Cneajna Bathory. Thus, through their Lusignan and Basarab lines, the Bathory’s can trace their dragon origins back to the Scythian Dragons that emerged out of Central Asia. ~ Mark Amaru Pinkham, Author of “The path of the Dragon”.
Vlad Dracula, commonly known as Vlad the Impaler, was the voivode (prince) of Wallachia, a region in present-day Romania, in the 15th century. He was a member of the Order of the Dragon, having been inducted by his father, Vlad II Dracul. In addition to his membership in the Order of the Dragon, Vlad Dracula was known for his ruthless tactics against his enemies, including impalement. However, he is also credited with defending Wallachia and Western civilization against the enemies of Europe and promoting economic and cultural development in the region.
