considered as completely adhering to reality. To do this, we need to start from the fact that

Pierre Plantard made Saint-Clair with a surname, then Plantard de Saint-Clair, and this can

also be ascertained from personal documents, including the death certificate. In addition to

this, it must be said that the surname Plantard originates from a noble family and that our
tradition always tells us that the surname Plantard derives from a nickname given to Sigibert

IV Plant-Ard "Rejeton" Ardent Prince - Ermite Comte de Rhédae, who in 681 inherited from

his uncle the titles of Count de Rhédae and Duke de Razès. Subsequently to Sigisberto IV,

which among other things is precisely the link between San Dagobert II and the alleged

Merovingian descent of the so-called "Rois perdus", hence, the surname Plantard originates,

from the nickname "Plant-Ard", next to the name of the ancient noble, which was precisely

called Sigisbert IV "Plant-Ard" or "dit le Plantard". In reality, this name concealed two

hidden meanings that refer to a "Plant" (Plant) that has strong origins, understood as deep or
distant, therefore (Ard); with deep it can be alluded to a deep knowledge, precisely from the

deep roots, at the same time, the allusion can refer to the antiquity of the roots understood as a

family from the ancient origins or as antiquity of the deposit of knowledge. To conclude this

parenthesis it is good to specify that we therefore believe in a certain continuity between the

noble Plantard, the Saint-Clair, and Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair, although we admit that the

actual requirements in possession of Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair, to be legally considered

noble, are uncertain about the current documentation, and that, although there are
documents, where Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair is actually reported as "Comte de Saint-Clair

et Comte de Rhédae", we admit that they are not enough to demonstrate that he has been in

possession of the actual legal requirements.

It is also appropriate to remember that in modern times this is part of the "trademark" and

the charm of the Priory of Sion: an important right that exists in spite of the rule. This is

explained because this is an esoteric area, where the value lies in the initiatory deposit and in

knowledge, things that have no relation with the technicalities of noble law. Pierre Plantard

has tried several times to clarify this difference regarding the type of legitimacy he claimed,
but has continued to be misunderstood by many until today.

Returning instead to the Saint Clair, originally they were a French noble family, and their

name derives from Sancto Claro, the name of a locality in the Duchy of French Normandy of

which they are native; later moved to Scotland, the family name, from Saint-Clair, will become

Sinclair, from the end of the XVIth Century and a branch of the Clan of the Sinclair, are

actually the Sinclair of Roslin, baronial where the famous Chapel of Rosslyn, whose symbolism

is full of Templar and Masonic influence, traditions deeply linked to the history and the
initiatory deposit of the Priory of Sion.

Our oral tradition connects the Saint-Clair to the

Merovingian Dynasty, which we consider to be the means of a

primordial tradition, which came from Babylon and earlier

from Atlantis, through them, as well as being the dynasty that

actually gave originated from France, ferrying it out of the

barbarian era. The Merovingians are linked to the Priory of

Sion, as it is precisely their ancestral tradition that the Priory

has inherited, and Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair, has also
been heir to that deposit initiatory and that transmission as well as a certainly very diluted,

Merovingian descent through the Saint-Clair.

The intent of the past Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair, was

therefore solely to emphasize a myth, to represent something true. For all these reasons, we
