Manorial Court, Delegates and 
Inner Teachings

A network of selected delegates and corrispondents around the world

Participate to an international Network around shared ideals

The Lordship of Anneville stands most probably as the last remaining beacon of what is believed to be the ancient Grail Brotherhood, which once counted among its members the most illustrious knights of Normandy. With an unbroken historical lineage, Anneville not only claims a direct connection to these venerable traditions but also potentially shares its heritage with the Templars, solidifying its role as a cornerstone in the legacy of chivalric mysticism. 

As a genuine Norman seigneurie with an age-old manor and court, officially recognized and deeply connected to ancient traditions, we are uniquely positioned to propagate the best of these teachings and uphold our lineage on an international scale. To be selected as a delegate for this noble cause is a distinct honor.

In the context of spiritual or esoteric practices, an aristocratic tradition would likely involve teachings that require a high level of dedication, maturity, and even a form of initiation to access. These traditions are olny passed down through direct mentorship or within closed communities. They involve rigorous study, meditation, and other practices that demand a significant investment of time and effort. 

From every corner of the globe, some individuals are irresistibly drawn to our mission. If your ideals align with ours, consider this an urgent call to action, particularly in an era where such wisdom is not merely enlightening but absolutely essential. Born from the Grail tradition, we breathe new life into the ageless wisdom of the Norman 'Comte du Graal,' illuminating the boundless potential for human transformation. While rooted in Norman culture, the essence of these teachings transcends geographical and temporal boundaries, resonating universally.

For the Guernseyman who feels the pulse of Norman heritage coursing through his veins, understand that this is also your deepest tradition, enriched by a wealth of knowledge that spans generations.

The path to self-mastery is an ideal journey, symbolized, for instance, by the seven castles in Wachier de Denain's continuation. Each castle represents one of the 'seven primordial forces' and corresponds to stages of an ancient Grail initiation. This Norman approach is intrinsically linked to 'presence in action,' the very foundation of authentic chivalry.

The Twin Pillars of Chivalry: The Courts of Anneville and Ivanhoe in the Modern World 

The present Seigneur of Anneville also holds the distinguished title of Lord of the Manor of Ivanhoe, a manor that notably inspired Sir Walter Scott and stands as a paragon of the Chivalric Code. Registered officially in the United Kingdom, the Manor of Ivanhoe serves as the governing seat for the Order of Chivalric Merit of Ivanhoe, administered under the auspices of the Feudal Court of Ivanhoe.

In Anneville, we maintain our own distinct registries and are actively establishing global delegations of the Seigneurie. These delegations aim to bring together individuals and organizations that share our spiritual ideals, namely:

We are intent on aligning with similar organizations, such as the Templars and various Orders of Chivalry, to come together under the combined banner of Ivanhoe and Anneville.

Delegations are administered by selected individuals personally appointed by the Lord of Ivanhoe and Anneville. Criteria for selection include:

Our registries meticulously document all individuals and entities that align with our lofty ideals.

The Court of Anneville

Located in its historic setting, the Court of Anneville is one of the few remaining manorial private courts still in operation on the island of Guernsey. The Court exercises oversight over the Registers and is tasked with admitting and verifying the credentials of new chevaliers.

The Court has embarked on an ambitious international initiative to propagate the Guernsey and Norman traditions globally. Participation in the Court therefore also entails involvement in the governance of the diverse Orders, Patronages, and initiatives that we sponsor. The Court holds ultimate responsibility for the maintenance and oversight of our registries

The inner teachngs of the Norman Spiritual Tradition: The heritage of the "Comte du Graal" - Our Research Center

Our research center is a haven devoted to the exploration of ancient Norman traditions and their mystical convergence with esoteric paths like the Rose Cross alchemical tradition. The Inner Order of the Holy Grail serves as an interior society, passionately dedicated to unlocking the mysteries of the Anglo-Norman saga 'Perceval' and its sequels to further human spiritual growth.

As Seigneur I am fully entitled in creating or reviving an order of the manor.

The Order of Anneville  is more than an institution; it's a living vault that preserves the most precious principles of Western culture. Anchored in the age-old Norman traditions that gave rise to the 'Comte du Graal,' the Order acts as a vessel for imparting a unique interpretation of these enduring values.

It is a treasure trove of hidden Rosicrucian teachings that refer to the grail, as both share connection in a secret lineage of wisdom to which I am happy to give access to people that really is interested in such a practices.

Our inner Teachings

I've researched for many years on the Grail, Alchemy, and inner traditions getting to the most authentic sources. Access is granted only to those who demonstrate a profound respect for these powerful wisdoms and possess a genuine desire to bring them to life through practice.

Alchemical Coats of Arms

The actual original source of the Blasons lies in the Norman tradition. Traditionally, the Channel Islands were always independent of the heraldic authorities of the United Kingdom and each family had its own coat of arms.

We believe that because of the special legal situation of the Channel Islands, the important members of our fiefdom and the members of our court still have a right to their Blason according to ancient Norman custom. 

Alchemical Coats of Arms

Our aim is not to award generic coats of arms. We prefer to admit only persons who submit "alchemical coats of arms". This means a coat of arms that is linked to the personal development of the person, with each element having an alchemical meaning.
Here are some points about the alchemical Blazons

We have created a "Private Feudal Register of the Seigneury of Anneville" for these coats of arms .
