                             of the House of Saint Mary of the Teutonic House in Jerusalem
                             (in Latin: Ordo domus Sanctae Mariae Theutonicorum
                             Hierosolymitanorum [in German: Orden der Ritter (or Brüder)

                             des Haus Sankt Marien des Deutschen Hauses zu Jerusalem])

                             in the Holy Land set up by merchants from Bremen and Lübeck

                             at Crusader encampment during the siege of Akko (Acre) by 

                             Guy de Lusignan, King of Jerusalem.

 5 Mar 1198                Reorganized as a military order (on model of Templars)

                             (recognized by Pope Innocent III as such on 19 Feb 1199).

1211 - 1225                Active in Transylvania against the pagan Qypçak (Kumans).

1219 - 24 Apr 1809         Mergentheim (Marienthal) in Franconia, Germany a possession

                             of the Order.

1224                       Duke Conrad of Mazovia, appeals to the Grand Master Hermann

                             von Salza for assistance against the warlike Prussians, who
                             had periodically fought Poland. The Order promised
                             control of Courland and Livonia (see under Latvia).
1226                       Grand Master (Hochmeister) of the Teutonic Order is granted by
                             the Emperor all the privileges and (from Jun 1230) style of the
                             prince of the Empire. The knights are entitled to subject the
                             Prussians on behalf of the Empire.
1230                       Seat of the Grand Master at Montfort castle (al-Qurayn in Arabic;
                             35 km north of Haifa, originally called Castellum novum regis),
                             sold to the Order in 1228.
1256 - 1268                Lordship of the Schuf (an offshoot of the Lordship of Sidon), inland
                             from modern Saida in Lebanona, a possession of the Order.
1271                       Montfort lost, seat of the Grand Master moved to Akko/Acre.

1291                       Seat of the Grand Master moved from Akko (Akkon) to Venice

                             upon the conquest of Akko 18 May 1291.

 9 Sep 1309                Seat of the Grand Master (Hochmeister) is moved from Venice
                             to Marienburg (Malbork) in Prussia. The Grand Master takes
                             over direct administration of the Prussian branch. With the loss
                             of Marienburg 19 Oct 1466, the seat is moved to Königsberg.

1378 - 1409                During the Great Schism in the Papacy, the Order in Marienburg
                             continues to recognize the Papal court in Rome rather the rival

                             in Avignon, France.

 9 Apr 1525                The Hochmeister Albrecht Markgraf von Brandenburg-Ansbach

                             having converted to Protestantism, he becomes hereditary

                             Duke of Prussia. Order survives under the Deutschmeister Walter

                             von Cronberg.

16 Dec 1526                Seat of the Grand Master is moved to Mergentheim.

 9 Feb 1801                By the Peace of Lunéville (and Treaty of Amiens of 25 Mar 1802) its

                             sovereign possessions on the left-bank of the Rhine River were

                             distributed among the neighboring German sovereigns.

26 Dec 1805                By article 12 of the Treaty of Pressburg, between Austria and
                             France, all the possessions of the Grand Magistery at Mergentheim

                             and all those given in exchange earlier were attached to what
                             was to be a hereditary Grand Mastership, invested in the male
                             line of the Imperial House of Austria.

17 Feb 1806                Austrian Emperor Francis I acknowledged his brother Anton as Grand
                             Master of the Teutonic Order, confirming the provisions of the
                             Treaty of Pressburg, until such time as it would become an
                             hereditary dignity and also imposed some limitations on the
                             scope of the Treaty, to the detriment of the Order. The
                             sovereign status recognized in the Treaty of Pressburg was to
                             be attributed to whichever Prince of the House of Austria would
                             in future hold the title of Grand Master, but this would be a
                             limited sovereignty, subordinated to the "Headship of the
                             Imperial House of Austria."

12 Jul 1806                Formation of the Confederation of the Rhine cost the Order its

                             possession of several more commanderies granted to Baden, Bavaria

                             and Württemberg.

24 Apr 1809                Order is dissolved in German lands by Napoléon, but survives

                             in Austrian lands under Habsburg protection. Mergentheim is

                             annexed to annexed to Frankfurt (from 24 Apr 1810, Württemberg).

12 Dec 1810                Prussian secularization commission confiscates the lands of the
                             order in Prussia (only the possessions in Austria remain).

 8 Mar 1834                Emperor of Austria returns to the Teutonic knights all the rights

                             enjoyed by the Treaty of Pressburg, abrogating the limitation on

                             those rights imposed by the Decree of 17 Feb 1806. The Order was

                             declared to be an "Autonomous, Religious and Military Institute"

                             under the protection of the Emperor, with an Archduke as

                             Hoch- und Deutschmeister (confirmed by imperial patent Jun 1840).

30 Jun 1923                The last Austrian Archduke resigns as hereditary Hoch- und

                             Deutschmeister of the Oder.

27 Nov 1929                Teutonic Order is reconstituted as a purely religious order by

                             the Pope. Fratres domus hospitalis sanctae Mariae Teutonicorum

                             in Jerusalem (Teutonic Order of Saint Marys Hospital in Jerusalem

Note: In the Orthodox Church there are 15 independent (autocephalous) church units, each with its own patriarch, archbishop, or metropolitan. In the traditional order of honor amongst the Orthodox churches (that is, the order through which their primates are mentioned in the liturgy when more than 3 metropolitans are present), they are: Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, Russia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Cyprus, Greece, Poland, Albania, Czech and Slovak Republics, and America. The Church of Constantinople and its patriarch have only a status of "first among equals", nothing more (this status means nothing more that he is the president of all Orthodox conferences), but he has no kind of power over other church units, he is the leader of only his own church unit, the Church of Constantinople.

 ¹The Ecumenical Patriarch is also officially the "Spiritual Leader" of the "Autonomous Monastic State of Ayion Oros", (also styled "Athonian Republic"), that is, he is the Head of that Autonomous State, which itself is part of Greece.

 ²This is an interesting case. A faction who wanted to remove Ieremias from the throne
decided to support Kyrillos of Proussa for Patriarch, although he himself had no such aspirations. They paid good money to the Turkish officials who declared that Kyrillos 
should take the place of Ieremias as Patriarch. Subsequently, Ieremias went into hiding.
Kyrillos, however, refused to take the place of Ieremias in the Patriarchal throne, and the situation became irregular. On 28 Jan the Turks, seeing that no one came to the throne,
let Ieremias continue as Patriarch.

 ¹When Grigorios IV died in Dec 1928, the Holy Synod deadlocked, eventually splitting into two factions. The larger section elected Arsenios II (s.a.), the smaller one Alexandros III (s.a.). They reconciled briefly in 1931, the factions agreeing that both men would be considered valid patriarchs until one of them died. However, Arsenios died in 1933 and is now considered an anti-patriarch for that period. Another member of his faction, Epiphanios, was elected his successor as patriarch in 1935, but eventually resigned his title and rejoined the Holy Synod.

 ²The number X adopted by this patriarch appears to be based on a rather erroneous list showing the last holder of his name as IX. As the latter was patriarch in the 12th century, the facts are obscure; however, studies by Venance Grumel ("Les patriarches grecs d'Antioche du nom de Jean" [Echos d'Orient 1933] and "Jean ou Denys? Note sur un patriarche d'Antioche" [Revue des études byzantines 1951]) indicate that the correct number of the patriarch of 2012 would be VI or VII.
