I was not aware the Cronista de Armas was out of business.

This looks a lot like British Feudal Investments

Yes, this looks like work of unscrupulous lawyer. As I understand,
client - victim go to arbitration court with claim, that he is
"rightful lord" and of course, win.

Yes. The Chronista died a few years ago, and I haven't noted a new one
having been appointed. I remember askign Francois if he'd seen anything, but
he hadn't.

The website looks to be the venture of Juan Manuel Castro Valle,
apparently a lawyer, of La Coruna, Spain. It is stated on the site that
the outfit has an English office or partner and can meet clients in
England. If there is an English partner it is not clear who it might
be. However, the site's 'links' page fingers one single English
business: an embroiderer of heraldic pillows, apparently based at 2a
Aldebert Terrace, London, but whose website is registered to one Mark
Young, of Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

The spanisharmorial.com site very baldly asserts that it does not sell
any title; it merely provides services leading to court judgments
affirming the title--with successful outcome *guaranteed*.

Cheeky to offer a complete guarantee of success in a civil suit before
it is undertaken. Perhaps there is a judge and not merely an advocate
involved in this business?

He's dead. You can't get any more out of business than that.

Anyone knows how this works?
"(...) the Title and the Fons Honorum will be recognised and confirmed

outcome is guaranteed."
Looks impossible. http://curia.europa.eu/en/instit/presentationfr/index_cje.htm

http://www.spanisharmorial.com/FonsHonorum.html:
Fount of Honour: Ancient Titles with Fons Honorum:
We are able to offer to selected customers the possibility of
obtaining Ancient European Nobility Titles with Fons Honorum. Both the
Title and the Fons Honorum will be recognised and confirmed by a Court
Ruling issued by a European Court of Justice. Succesful outcome is
guaranteed.

This means we are able to provide our customers with the necessary
tools and the right legal frame to issue nobility titles worldwide
within a frame of strict legality.

Only people willing to identify themselves properly and make
meaningful enquiries will be taken into consideration. This is a very
exclusive service, and only people of wealth and means should apply.


Procedure:
1. Following informal agreement on the particular title you require, a
6000 EURO booking fee will be transferred to the Solicitor's Account by
BACS.
2. Signature of the Contract, Documents and Powers of Attorney
necessary to carry out the legal work on your behalf and start the
proceedings. At the signature of the contract there is to transfer
the 50% of the fees to the Solicitor's Account by BACS.
3. The remaining fees shall be settled within the end of the service,
at the end of the Judicial Activity, when the Court Ruling is issued
and ready to be delivered and Gazetted.

Here's one tried and true way:

1. Get a mate to say in the pub one evening, "That Jack, he's not the
Prince of Balderdasho!"

2. Sue him for defamation in the local court.

3. Have your mate submit an apology when it comes to the hearing,
admitting that he was wrong.

4. Get an order that he pay your legal costs (you will reimburse him,
of course).

5. Wave the judgment to the world, stating it is a court order priving
you are the Prince afterall.

6. Start a website selling fake Viscountcies to idiots.

Voila!

It may be coincidence that there appears to be an attorney of that name
at Tunbridge Wells, specializing in divorce mediation. Perhaps he's
looking to expand from that sphere into fake-title affirmation, by way
of heraldic pillows? The mind boggles.

Perhaps a European court of justice need not necessarily mean THE
European Court of Justice (Court of Justice of the European
Communities)?

Okay, so I'm a little confused: Since it has been shown by experts
that the selling of nobilty titles is a fraudulent practice - anywhere
in Europe, and that the unfortunatre people who provide [sellers] with
good sums of money are in fact victims of a scam, how is it that your
Nobility Titles can come out here and expect to be even considered as
legitimate.

I don't get it.

Enlighten me. Make me believe you.

What really puzzles me is this: I have kings, dukes, counts, earls,
knights, and even a saint in my ancestry. One ancestor held the title
"Count of Anjou." For a moment, assume there is no one holding that
title now. Now assume there is no Count of Anjou in my lineage. Why on
earth would I think having copious amounts of cash give me the right to
hold it????

Tradition. As long as the money is paid to the right person, discreetly, and
with the right rationale. At one time, it could even be blatant.

Just like to point out that I wrote none of the words quoted in William
Baldwin's message. And the point of the scam that started this thread
is that there needs be no money actually paid for the title, no
discretion, and no rationale: it's just a setup, to get an obscure
European court to release a finding that so-and-so is entitled to
such-and-such a title. What the title is, whether it was ever real, and
who held it, is irrelevant. It could as well be Count of Anjou, King of
Man, or Hereditary Sergeant of the Pastry to the King of Judea.

I hope you are not being rude about my friend, the Hereditary Sergeant


of the Pastry to the King of Judea.
