It has been long established that the House of Brunswick has
held and protected the regional Grand Commanderies throughout Europe. The Dukes
of Brunswick have served as regional Grand Commanders, and as National Grand
Masters (and Empire wide in Prussia) over the Templars. This has remained since
the time of Henry the Lion and His son Otto IV who was Holy Roman Emperor and was
the rival King of Burgandy. For more than 900 years the Imperial Princely House
of Brunswick has been established Gothian Templar Nobility. In the year 1303 at
Süpplingenburg, Braunschweig ,Otto
von Brunswick is listed as Comte of the Knights Templars. The House
headquarters at Gottingen and later at Wolfenbuettel has served as a Grand
Priory for the Templars in Eastern and Western Europe.
