The Instruments of the Order
The titles and authority of Dr. Thomas Andre Louis Maes, Grand Master of The Order of Prometheus, are documented through a heraldic expert report, ducal patents and dynastic decrees, held in the records of the House. These instruments may be authenticated by notarization and apostille for international use under the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961. Such legalization authenticates the documents as genuine instruments; it does not constitute recognition of the Order or of any dignity by any State. The Order of Prometheus confers chivalric ranks within its own jurisdiction. The heraldic report is an extrajudicial expert opinion for private use and is published here for inspection.
