ON THIS DAY MARCH 22, 563 YEARS AGO THE SAVOY FAMILY BOUGHT
THE SHROUD OF TURIN. This is a little bit of Shroud History.
From the time period of 1350 is very well documented. The
Savoy Family kept very good records of most everything did with the Shroud
April 15, 1452, Leonardo da Vinci was born on in a farmhouse
nestled amid the undulating hills of Tuscany outside the village of Anchiano in
present-day Italy.
September 13, 1452: Margaret de Charny shows the Shroud at
Germnolles (near Macon) in a public exposition at the Castle (In France)
You can go on google and see the Castle, it is a huge white
castle.
She was acting as
owner of The Shroud even though the Lirey Church believed the Shroud was their
possession and a court battle takes place between them in this time period to
obtain legal ownership. It is well documented)
March 22, 1453: Margaret de Charny SELLS THE SHROUD TO THE
SAVOY FAMILY,
The Savoy Family were a rich and powerful family who were
rulers of Italy. (Note Da Vinci was not even 1 year of age yet)
Margaret de Charny at Geneva, receives from Duke Louis I of
The Savoy Family the castle of Varambon and revenues of the estate of Miribel
near Lyon for 'valuable services'.
Now the Savoy Family
owns the Shroud, called THE HOLY SHROUD OF OUR LORD
Go look at the Castle of Verambon, we are talking about a
multi million dollar piece of real estate.
So Margaret De Charny loses the Shroud but gains a million
dollar castle and revenues from the estate of Miribel. Now she is a
millionaire.
Note: Although there
is not a exact amount of money mentioned here, The Savoy Family paid what would
be the equivalent of several million dollars today for what they call QUOTE A
disgraced painting, a obvious painting in this video. No such words were ever
used to describe the Shroud in this time period. They just made that up in this
video.
Note: Does anyone out there really think the Savoy Family
would pay over a million dollars for a disgraced and obvious looking forgery?
They gave away a castle for a painting? And revenues from the Estate of
Miribel?!
1457: Margaret de Charny is threatened with excommunication if
she does not return the Shroud to the Lirey Chruch, On 30 May the letter of
excommunication is sent
Note: In plain English the Lirey Church is very pissed off
that she has not returned the Shroud
February 6, 1464: By an accord drawn up in Paris, Duke Louis
I of the Savoy Family agrees to pay the Lirey Church an annual rent, to be
drawn from the revenues of the castle of Gaillard, near Geneva, as compensation
for their loss of the Shroud. (This is the first surviving document to record
that the Shroud has become Savoy property)
The accord
specifically notes that the Shroud had been given to the church of Lirey by
Geoffrey de Charny, lord of Savoisy and Lirey, and that it had then been
transferred to Duke Louis by Margaret de Charny.
I will stop here.
Now the Savoy Family
has to pay an annual rent to the Lirey Church for the what was called The Holy
Shroud of the Lord at that time
Does this sound like something that was not looked upon as
being extremely valuable?
Like some kind of disgraced painting as it is called in this
video?!
Who would give away millions of dollars worth of real estate
and pay a annual rent for some stupid, disgraceful looking painting of Jesus?
We can conclude that the Savoy Family believed The Shroud
was genuine.
They would never give up millions of dollars for something they did not believe was genuine.
They would never give up millions of dollars for something they did not believe was genuine.
