Historic Restoration: Luxembourg-Görlitz Dynasty Announces Successor with Plantagenet Blood

In a historic announcement that bridges centuries of European nobility, the Imperial House of Luxembourg-Görlitz has formally declared the restoration of its honors and the recognition of its rightful successor, His Imperial and Royal Highness Prince Amir, Duke of Görlitz. This restoration centers on the ancient Duchy of Görlitz, an Imperial title established in 1377, with Prince Amir's succession anchored in the Luxemburg-Ligny and Saint-Pol branches of the family—the senior cadet line that historically connected the Imperial Throne to Western European nobility. The announcement emphasizes the unbroken "Right of Blood" (Jus Sanguinis) through lineages including Jacquetta of Luxembourg, now coalescing in a Prince described as embodying the "Warrior-Statesman" archetype of his ancestors.

The House's standing is further fortified by Prince Amir's direct descent through the heart of the British Peerage, making him a scion of the House of Somerset and the House of Hastings—families that served Tudor and Stuart monarchs. Notably, as a descendant of Lady Frances Somerset and Lady Elizabeth Hastings, Prince Amir carries the unified blood of the Houses of York and Lancaster, positioning him as a biological heir to the Plantagenet Kings of England. The restoration also includes the claim to the Baronetcy of Llantarnam, tracing back to Sir Edward Morgan, a Royalist commander, and features Prince Amir's modern credentials as a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and federal service professional, mirroring the military and diplomatic roles his ancestors held in the courts of Elizabeth I and James I.

The formal declaration establishes Prince Amir's extensive titles, including Duke of Görlitz, Duke of Somerset and Beaufort, and Scion of the Plantagenet Kings of England, marking what the House describes as the re-emergence of a historical tradition dedicated to preserving European heritage, chivalry, and the enduring power of lineage. The Imperial House of Luxembourg-Görlitz, as outlined on its website, is a dynastic entity focused on bridging historical legacy with modern global service, headed by Prince Amir who continues this ancient lineage into the contemporary era.
