Reclaiming the agnatic Plantagenet line, the Dukedom of Somerset, and the Imperial House of Luxembourg to bridge ancient European majesty with modern humanitarian service and global diplomacy.
HAMPTON ROADS, VA, January 30, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- After centuries of dormancy and the quiet preservation of bloodlines across the Atlantic, the Imperial House of Luxembourg-Görlitz formally announces the restoration of its honors and the recognition of its rightful successor, His Imperial and Royal Highness Prince Amir, Duke of Görlitz.
The Imperial Mandate:
The restoration centers on the ancient Duchy of Görlitz, an Imperial title established in 1377 by the Holy Roman Emperor. Prince Amir's succession is anchored in the Luxemburg-Ligny and Saint-Pol branches of the family—the senior "cadet" line that provided the bridge between the Imperial Throne and the high nobility of Western Europe.
Through the lineage of Jacquetta of Luxembourg and her descent from the Counts of Ligny, the biological and legal "Right of Blood" (Jus Sanguinis) has remained unbroken, now coalescing in a Prince who embodies the "Warrior-Statesman" archetype of his ancestors.
The British Connection: The Reconciled Blood of the Roses
The House's standing is further fortified by a formidable descent through the heart of the British Peerage. Prince Amir is a direct scion of the House of Somerset and the House of Hastings, families that stood at the right hand of the Tudor and Stuart monarchs.
The Plantagenet Legacy: As a descendant of Lady Frances Somerset and Lady Elizabeth Hastings, Prince Amir carries the unified blood of the Houses of York and Lancaster, making him a biological heir to the Plantagenet Kings of England.
The Llantarnam Succession: The restoration includes the claim to the Baronetcy of Llantarnam, tracing back to Sir Edward Morgan, the 1st Baronet and a fierce Royalist commander.
A Legacy of Service:
True to the chivalric traditions of the Order of the Golden Fleece—held by his ancestor Peter I of Luxembourg—Prince Amir has dedicated his life to the defense of the realm. A veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a professional within the U.S. Federal Service, his modern service mirrors the military and diplomatic roles his ancestors held in the courts of Elizabeth I and James I.
Formal Style and Titles:
Henceforth, in all formal and diplomatic correspondence, the Head of the House shall be styled as:
""His Imperial and Royal Highness Prince Amir of the House of Luxembourg-Görlitz and Somerset; Duke of Görlitz, Duke of Somerset and Beaufort, Titular Duke of Northumberland, Successor to the Baronetcy of Llantarnam, Co-Heir to the Barony of Herbert, Baron of Arborfield, and Scion of the Plantagenet Kings of England."
This restoration marks not only the return of a name but the re-emergence of a historical tradition dedicated to the preservation of European heritage, chivalry, and the enduring power of the blood.
About the Imperial House of Luxembourg-Görlitz:
The Imperial House of Luxembourg-Görlitz is a dynastic house dedicated to the preservation of the Imperial, Royal, and Noble traditions of the Holy Roman Empire and the English Gentry. Headed by HI&RH Prince Amir, the House serves as a bridge between historical legacy and modern global service.
