I have been appointed as a Knight Majus in the Byzantine Order of Leo the Armenian. The Order is a house order of the Dynastic House Polanie-Patrikios, whose head is the Most Revd. Prince Kermit Poling de Polanie-Patrikios. Prince Kermit is the senior living member of the San Luigi Orders, having been admitted to all three Orders by Prince-Abbot Edmond II, and traces his ancestry to several of the Byzantine Emperors.
