The writers Ancient Arms from Von Saxe Germany
The writer has a large number of Armigerous families (families who were officially granted their own coats of Arms) in his bloodline and Ancestry. They pass through several branches of his family tree and include many Kings Queens and Kights and other Noble houses of Europe and some who went to Britain with William of Normandie.

These later include on one branch, Robert the bruce the high King of Scotland and Empress Matilda of Angou (Empress Maud whose son founded the Angevine Empire).

We can actually through Bishop Arnold (Arnulff) De Metz trace our family all the way right back to Antiquity with some degree of rare certainty, back through names such as Flavius Devisticus, Flavius Tonantius (Narbonne Narbo martia) and the Sigur family. One of our ancient family seats was based in Narbonne (Rome's single biggest port outside Rome itself in Europe) and to the family that supplied the early church Bishops in the South of France region. this includes the churchman who became known in later generations as "SAINT SALVIUS or Saint Salvi ) who is associated very strongly with the Southern Occitanian city of Albi.

Many of my family's racines are buried inside or near to the ancient Cathedral of RODEZ in Southern France.

We also have a link to Saint DIDIER de Cahors, another medieval city in the Occitanean South.

Through the Fifth branch (the german branch) of the french hereditary House of Poitiers, I can trace my ancestry through Sigur (SIEGFRIED) and Queen Brunnhilde. (Richard Wagner's hero and heroine of "The Ring Cycle" Opera story.

Albi was also the scene and epicenter for the Albigensian Crusade against the heresy of the Cathars.
