Members of the Orsini include popes,
• Celestine III (1191-1198)
• Nicholas III (1277-1280)
• Benedict XIII (1724-1730),
… and numerous condottieri and other relevant political and religious figures.
Princely arms of the Orsini Gravina line
Origins
According to their family lore, the Orsini are descended from the Julio-Claudian family of ancient Rome.
This is fanciful, as well as the alleged connection to the German families of Anhalt, Baden and Rosenberg sporting the same name. The Orsini also carried on a political feud with the Colonna family until by Papal Bull it was stopped in 1511; in 1571 the Chiefs of both families married the nieces of Pope Sixtus V.
The Orsini were related to the Boboni family existing in Rome in the 11th century.
The first members had in fact always doubled surname of Boboni-Orsini. This first known members is one Bobone, in the early 11th century, father of Pietro, in turn father of Giacinto dei Boboni (1110-1198), who in 1191 became pope as Celestine III.
One of the first great nepotist popes, he created cardinals two of his nephews and allowed his cousin Giovanni Gaetano (Giangaetano, died 1232) to buy the fiefs of Vicovaro, Licenza, Roccagiovine and Nettuno, who formed the nucleus of the future territorial power of the family.
The Boboni surname went lost with his children, who were called de domo filiorum Ursi. Two of them, Napoleone and Matteo Rosso the Great (1178-1246) increased considerably the prestige of the family.
The former was the founder of the first southern line, who disappeared with Camillo Pardo in 1553. He obtained the city of Manoppello, later a countship, and was Papal gonfaloniere.
Matteo Rosso, called the Great, was the effective lord of Rome from 1241, when he defeated the Imperial troops to 1243, holding the title of Senator. Two of his sons and Napoleone were also Senators.
Matteo ousted the traditional rivals, the Colonna, from Rome and extended the Orsini territories southwards up to Avellino and northwards to Pitigliano.
During his life the family entered firmly in the Guelph party. He had some ten sons, which divided the fiefs after his deaths: Gentile (died 1246) originated the Pitigliano line and the second southern line, Rinaldo that of Monterotondo, Napoleone (died 1267) that of Bracciano and another Matteo Rosso that of Montegiordano, from the name of the district in Rome housing the family’s fortress.
The most distinguished of his sons was however Giovanni Gaetano (died 1280): elected pope as Nicholas III, he named the nephew Bertoldo (died 1289) as count of Romagna and had two nephews and a brother created cardinals.
The second southern line
The rise of the Orsini did not stop after Nicholas’ death.
Bertoldo’s son, Gentile II (1250-1318), was two times Senator of Rome, podest of Viterbo and, from 1314, Gran Giustiziere (“Great Justicer”) of the Kingdom of Naples.
He married to Clarice Ruffo, daughter of the counts of Catanzaro, forming an alliance of the most powerful Calabrian dynasty. His son Romano (1268-1327), called Romanello, was Royal Vicar of Rome in 1326, and inherited the countship of Soana through his marriage with Anastace de Montfort. Romano’s stance was markedly Guelph.
After his death, his two sons divided his fiefs, forming the Pitigliano and the second southern line.
Roberto (1295-1345), Gentile II’s elder son, married to Sibilla del Balzo, daughter of the Great Senechal of the Kingdom of Naples.
Among his sons, Giacomo (died 1379) was created cardinal by Gregory XI in 1371, while Nicola (August 27, 1331 February 14, 1399) obtained the counties of Ariano and Celano. The latter was also Senator of Rome and enlarged the family territories in Lazio and Tuscany.
His second son, Raimondello Orsini del Balzo, supported Charles III’ coup d’état in Naples against Queen Joan II.
Under king Ladislas he was among the few Neapolitan feudataries who were able to maintain their territorial power afther the royal war against them.
However, at his death in 1406 the southern Orsini fiefs were confiscated. Relationships with the royal family remained cold under Joan II; however, when Raimondello’s son Giannantonio (1386-1453) sent his troops to help her against the usurpation attempt of James of Bourbon, he received in exchange the Principality of Taranto.
The links with the court increased further under Sergianni Caracciolo, Joan’s lover and Great Senechal.
A younger brother of Giannantonio one of Sergianni’s daughters. However, the Orsini changed side when Alfonso V of Aragon started his conquest of the Kingdom of Naples. Giannantonio was awarded with the duchy of Bari, the position of Great Connestable and an appanage of 100,000 ducati. Giannantonio remained faithful to Alfonso’s heir, Ferdinand I, but was killed during a revolt of nobles.
Having died withouot legitimate sons, much of his were absorbed into the Royal Chamber.
Pitigliano line
This line was initiated by Guido Orsini, second son of Romano, who inherited the county of Soana.
He and his descendants ruled over the fiefs of Soana, Pitigliano and Nola, but in the early 15th century wars against the Republic of Siena and the Colonnas caused to lost of several territories. Bertoldo (died 1417) managed to keep only Pitigliano, while his grandson Orso (died July 5, 1479) was count of Nola and fought as condottiero under the Duke of Milan and the Republic of Venice.
Later he passed to the service of Ferdinand I of Naples, but, having not took part to the Barons’ conjure, was rewarded with the fiefs of Ascoli and Atripalda. He took part to the Aragonese campaign in Tuscany and was killed in the siege of Viterbo.
The most outstanding member of the Pitigliano line was Niccola, one of the major condottieri of the time.
His son Ludovico (died January 27, 1534) and his nephew Enrico (died 1528) took part to the Italian Wars at the service of both France and Spain, often changing side with the typical ease of the Italian military leaders of the time.
Two of Ludovico’s daughter married to relevant figures: Geronima to Pier Luigi Farnese, illegitimate son of Pope Paul III, and Marzia to Gian Giacomo Medici of Marignano, an important general of the Spanish army.
The line started to decay after the loss of Nola by Ludovico, who was also forced to accept the Senese suzerainty over Pitigliano. Under his son Giovan Francesco (died May 8, 1567) the county enter in the orbit of the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
Later, the attempt of Alessandro (died February 9, 1604) to obtain the title of Monterotondo was thwarted by Pope Gregory XIII. His son Giannantonio (March 25, 1569 – 1613) sold definitely Pitigliano to Tuscany, in exchange to the marquisate of Monte San Savino.
The line became extinct in 1640 with the death of Alessandro.
Monterotondo line
This line was founded by Rinaldo, third son of Matteo Rosso the Great.
They were often involved in the baronal struggles of the Late Middle Ages Rome, at least three members of the family being elected as Senators, while others foughts as condottieri.
Francesco in 1370 took part to the war of Florence against the Visconti of Milan. Orso (died July 24, 1424) died fighting for the king of Naples in the Battle of Zagonara against the Milanese. His sons Giacomo (died 1482) and Lorenzo (1452) battled for the Papal States, Naples and Florence. One of Giacomo’s daughters, Clarice (1453-July 30, 1488) became Lorenzo de’ Medici’s wife.
Franciotto Orsini was created cardinal by Leo X in 1517.
The most important member of the Monterotondo Orsinis was Giovani Battista Orsini, who became cardinal under Sixtus IV (1483). He was probably among the promoters of the failed plot against Cesare Borgia in 1502, being assassinated as retaliation, together with numerous members of the family.
The Tower of Raimondello Orsini in Taranto, c. 1880
The line decayed from the late 16th century, when several members were assassinated or lost their lands for various reasons.Its last representatives Enrico (died September 12, 1643) and Francesco (1592 – September 21, 1650) sold Monterotondo to the Barberini in 1641.
Bracciano line
Napoleone, another son of Matteo Rosso the Great, received Bracciano, Nerola and other lands in what is now northern Lazio.
In 1259 he was Senator of Rome. Thanks to the strategic positions of their fiefs, and to their famous castle built in Bracciano in 1426, they were the most powerful Orsini line in the Lazio.
Count Carlo (died after 1485), son of another Napoleone (died October 3, 1480), was Papal Gonfaloniere.
By his marriage with a Francesca Orsini of Monterotondo was born Gentile Virginio Orsini, one of the most relevant figures of Italian politics in the late 15th century. After Carlo’s death, he enlarged the family’s tenure with lands inherited by his wife, another Orsini from Salerno, and most of all he was amongst the favorites of Ferdinand I of Naples, who appointed him as Great Connestable of Naples.
Together with his cousin, the Cardinal Giovanni Battista, he was among the fiercest opposers of popes Innocent VIII and Alexander VI. In 1492 Gentile Virginio bought the county of Anguillara from Franceschetto Cybo.
During Charles VIII of France’s descent into Italy, he managed to keep Bracciano by fighting without too much dogging against him. Ferdinand II had his fiefs confiscated and imprisoned him in Castel dell’Ovo, where he was poisoned in 1497.
The family recovered this setback under the more friendly Medici popes of the early 16th century. His son Giangiordano was Prince Assistant to the Papal Throne. His son Virginio was a famous admiral for the Papal States and France, but in 1539 he had his fiefs confiscated under the charge of treason.
Paolo Giordano was created first Duke of Bracciano in 1560. An accomplished condottiero, he was however also a ruthless figure who had his wife Isabella de’ Medici murdered. For this and other homicides he had to flee to northern Italy.
He was succeeded by Virginio, whose heir Paolo Giordano II married the princess of Piombino and was created Prince of the Holy Roman Empire.
His brother Alessandro was cardinal and Papal legate, and another brother, Ferdinando (died March 4, 1660) acquired the assets of the other line of San Gemini. In the 17th century the Dukes of Bracciano moved their residence to Rome.
This, along with a general economical decadence, damaged the dukedom, and last Duke and Prince, Flavio (March 4, 1620 ? April 5, 1698) was forced by the huge debts to sell it to the Odescalchi and others.
Gravina line
The line of Gravina, from the name of the eponymous city in Apulia, is the only existing line of the Orsini.
It descends from Francesco (died 1456), a son of Count Carlo of Bracciano. Most of his fief were located in northern Lazio, but he entered in the Neapolitan orbit when in 1418 he was called by Sergianni Caracciolo to fight against the Angevine troops, which he defeated.
By marriage, he obtained the title of count of Gravina. He was made Duke of Gravina by King Alfonso, title definitely assigned to his son Giacomo (died 1472), to which had been added the counties of Conversano, Campagna and Copertino.
Two of Francesco’s son, Marino (died 1471) and Giovanni Battista (died June 8, 1476), were respectively archbishop of Taranto and Grand Master of Knights of Rhodes.
The fourth duke, Francesco, was strangled by Cesare Borgia in 1503.
One of his nephews, Flavio Orsini, was created cardinal in 1565. The fifth duke, Ferdinando (died December 6, 1549) had all his fiefs confiscated by the Spaniards, but regained it after a 40,000 scudi payment.
After the heirless death of Duke Michele Antonio (January 26, 1627), his lands passed to his cousin Pietro Orsini, count of Muro Lucano (died 1641). The latter’s nephew Pier Francesco, who had renounced to the succession in favour to his brother Domenico to became a Dominican, was later elected pope with the name of Benedict XIII.
His successor raised Benedict XIII’s nephew, Prince Beroaldo Orsini, to the dignity of Prince Assistants to the Papal Throne (title held until 1958), after the emperor Charles VI had already, in 1724, made him a prince of the Holy Roman Empire. The last cardinal from the family was Domenico.
The family moved to Rome in the 18th century, where Duke Domenico (November 23, 1790 ? April 28, 1874), married Maria Luisa Torlonia in 1823. In 1850 he was Minister of War and General Lieutenant of the Papal Armies, and Senator of Rome as well.
The descendants of the family live in Rome, Torino, Singapore and in the United States. In the US there are a few people with the last name Orazine, the name was changed when family members emigrated to the United States due to translation difficulties.
Many members of the bloodline reside on the East coast of the United States and some still maintain the proper Orsini name.

Pepe Orsini of the Roman Maximus Clan
Pepe Orsini
He is the Grey Pope and is the King of the Holy Roman Papal Bloodlines. [Allegedly] above the Rothschilds and Rockefellers but in line and of equal stature to the Breakspear, Aldobrandini, and other Papal Bloodlines.Knight of Malta, Tom Cruise donates to the Optimum Population Trust of Manchester, England. He and his father are major depopulationists. Both are tied to the Papal bloodline Orsini family a most powerful family in complete control of the conspiracy. Pepe Orsini is the grey Pope working with his Black Pope in his Society Of Jesus.
The Orsini (Maximus / Orso) family are the Zoroastrianist shadow hierarchy of the Jesuit Order.

The “Illuminati” is only one of the six current heads that make up “the Beast” and there is a head to that beast… a woman who rides that beast, the evil Queen Hephzibah (the matriarch who is said to be the reincarnation of Semiramis).
You will never read any article about her, she is a Nephilim hybrid; a great granddaughter of Luciferhimself, and she is the Mother of the Anti-Christ, and the queen, the Pindar, and others are all afraid of her.
As this previous poster has said, yes there are others that you never hear about and that all information is destroyed before that it can get out. I could not give this information out if I wasn’t one who is feared by the elite myself. The real people in charge, you have never heard of them.

The Real 13 Zoroastrian Bloodlines of The Illuminati
Ptolemaic Papal bloodlines:
• Orsini
• Breakspear
• Aldobrandini
• Farnese
• Somaglia
All controlled through the Jesuit Order and their Knights of Malta & Teutonic Knights all based in missile protected Borgo Santo Spirito in Rome.
• Pepe Orsini – Italy
• Henry Breakspear – Macau, China
This is the true power finally.
• This is the Guelph and the Ghibelline power over mankind.
• The Cecil family were controlled by the powerful Jesuit family known as the Pallavicini.
• Maria Camilla Pallavicini is far more powerful than Queen Elizabeth II.
• The Queen and Prince Philip are totally subordinate to the Papal Bloodline the Breakspear Family and their Jesuit UKHQ at 114 Mount Street.
Please go and study who funded Elizabeth I that astronomical amount of money to fight the Spanish, yes Pallavicini.
The most powerful man right now in the conspiracy over this World is [allegedly] a Roman by the name of PEPE ORSINI of the powerful Roman Papal Bloodline the Orsini also known as Orso and the ancient Maximus family.
There is no one more powerful than this figure who is really the Grey Pope.
The Papal Bloodlines are the secret shadow hierarchy of the Jesuit Order even behind the Black Pope touted at the #1.
These powerful bloodlines are the,
• Breakspear
• Somaglia
• Orsini
• Farnese
• Aldobrandini
You’ll notice David Rothschild marrying into the Aldobrandini with the pretty, Princess Olimpia Aldobrandini.

Another real head of this is Henry Breakspear who resides now in Macau in China. Many of the Papal Bloodline heads now live in Asia and India. What does that tell you?The former Black Pope, Adolfo Nicholas was bought forward for the position due to the Jesuits bringing about of Asia as the next power player of the agenda. Both this Black Pope and the white Pope aren’t of Papal Bloodline, they are both commoners.
Update: The current Black Pope is Superior General Arturo Sosa Abascal
I’ve named the most powerful families on the planet. I’ve named the Grey Pope the one in-between the white and black but unseen.

This is some good info on the Black Pope:
The ‘Black Pope’, Superior Jesuit General (The President of the World), speaks at Loyola ‘Military Fortress’ University in his un-ratified 14th Amendment ‘Little Rome’ D.C United States Corporation.
A corporation under International Maritime Admiralty Law (Uniform Commercial Code) based upon Vatican Canon Law and perfected by the Roman Empire.
He lies about his power, he’s over the Pope as of 1814. He only serves and works with the shadow Jesuits being the Papal Bloodline Orsini’s, Breakspear’s, Aldobrandini’s, Farnese’s, Somalgia’s.
Adolfo is not of Papal Bloodline, some Black Pope’s have been.
The next in power beneath the Jesuits is the Bourbon, King Juan Carlos of Spain. The Roman Monarch of the World, The King of Jerusalem and SMOM Military Navigator.
This is the true World’s power system right now. Adolfo serves as a military General protecting the Zoroathrianism and Mithraism mystery schools. The Jesuits were created by the Papal Bloodline Farnese during the reign of Farnese Pope Paul III.
Loyola was commissioned by Alessandro Cardinal Farnese.
The Borgia crime family created the Jesuits!
After the terrible reign of Pope Alexander VI, the Romans were disgusted with the Spanish and vowed that there would never be another Spanish Pope.
This animosity toward the Spanish was further aggravated by the Sack of Rome in 1527 in order to prevent the divorce of Henry VIII from Catherine of Aragon.
The Borgia answer to this Spanish animosity was the creation of the order of Jesuits – a quasi religious/military strike force whose members were totally dedicated to their Spanish leader who bore the military title of general.
Like the White Pope, the general is elected for life and the Jesuit dynasty is a parallel or pseudo Papacy… Of course, the general is content to run the show from behind the scenes so as not to arouse the age-old Italian hatred for the Spanish.
The Jesuit general is referred to as the ‘”Black” Pope at the Vatican because he always dresses in black.
The Jesuits were officially founding in 1540 by Pope Paul III. Ignatius LIEola became their first general.
Don Francis Borgia was the great-grandson of Pope Alexander VI, and co-founder of the Jesuits. On his mother’s side he was descended from King Ferdinand of Aragon.
The Spanish control the Vatican through the Jesuits.
For the past 500 years, the Spanish Inquisition has controlled the Vatican by means of the Jesuits. All the Jesuits answer to their general in Rome, and he in turn is content to run the show from behind the scenes, without any publicity or public acclaim so as not to arouse the age-old Italian hostility to the Spanish…
Vaticanus
Vaticanus then is a combination of Vatic + anus, just as Romanus is a combination of Rome + anus.
Therefore, vaticanus collis or vaticanus mons mean “the prophetic hill or mountain”, which can be rephrased as the hill or mountain of prophecy. The word Vatican is just a shortened form of the word Vaticanus, just like Claudian is a shortened form of Claudianus, as shown above.
This association of the Vatican with prophecy is even confirmed by this recent Catholic book:
Where does the word “Vatican” come from and what does it mean? The word derives from the Latin vates, which means “tellers of the future.”
This name was the name given to a hillside on the west bank of the Tiber River in Rome because daily lineups of fortunetellers used to hawk their “wares” there to passersby on the street.
In the fourteenth century, when the papacy was returned to Rome from Avignon (France), the present-day Vatican became the residence of the popes, and the word came to refer to the enclave in the middle of Rome that had become the seat of the Roman Catholic Church.

Ignatius Loyola
Rev 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
The above verses make clear, in even superficial reading, that the Great Red Dragon is Satan.
But there is another relationship that is not as readily apparent. Verse 4 is referring to the birth of Jesus, and Satan’s attempt to kill the infant Jesus. Satan however, did not attempt this act of murder on his own. He made his attempt through the power of one man on earth.
This man is identified:
Mat 2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
Herod the Great, the King of Judea and Palestine was the agent Satan used in his attempt to kill the infant Jesus.
It is significant to note that Herod received his office from the Roman Empire. In 37 B.C. Herod the Great conquered Jerusalem with the aid of Roman armies and made himself king.
Now notice again in Rev 12:3 that Satan is described as having seven heads, ten horns and seven crowns.
This is important because it is a key to identify Satan and his agents elsewhere in Revelation:
Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Here another agent of Satan can be found.
Although nearly identical in description, it is not Satan, because verse 2 says this beast power gets his power from the dragon – a clear reference to Satan. As we observed in Matthew, Satan used the power of the ancient Roman Empire to attempt the murder of Jesus. The dragon and Rome worked with the same mind toward the same goal.
So in Rev 13:2 we can possibly substitute Rome for the word Dragon.
In 1582, by decree of Gregory XIII (Inter Gravissimas), 10 days were dropped from the calendar, and a new system of leap years was inaugurated.
Zion – Sion – Sun (The Order Of The Black Sun)
For most people “Zion” is the name for Jerusalem as well as for the nation of Israel (Isis-Ra-El).
More specifically “Sion” is the name given to a hill of Judea on which the city of Jerusalem is built. In reality, the name “Zion” refers to “Sion”, meaning “Sun“. (Black Sun)
Therefore the name “Zionism” is actually referring to the sun-cult, the Babylon cult, and f.i. relates to secret societies like the “Priore de Sion” or “Priory of Sion” (meaning: priory of the Sun“), which lost some of its secrecy because of the fact that the Rennes le Chateau mystery became so popular among certain circles.
“The Priory of Sion is a secret society created around the Merovingian bloodline (whose ancestors [it is claimed] can be traced back to the royals of Sumer, Troy and the Greek ‘Gods’) and related to the Templars as well as the Illuminati.”
It’s particularly because of the true meaning of “Zion”, that Jerusalem’s hill has been named that way.
As for the sun-cult adepts, hills symbolize the way to get closer to their God, due to the fact that at the top of them one is closer to the sun, symbolizing their God.

This was moderately interesting until I read the complete mistranslation of the words “Israel” and “Zion” and their etymology. This is a bastardization of the Holy Scripture.
I highly recommend the book “The Expected One” by Kathleen McGowan. It is written as an adventure very much like “The Davinchi Code” by Dan Brown but you can read between the lines and know that it is truth. It takes place mostly in Southern France where the Pope’s armies were sent to kill off the Cathars. Rome and the Papacy are exposed for who they really are.
