" The man of his choice was Francesco Farnese, Sovereign Duke of Parma, Piacensa and Castro, who was one of his own knights, and in whose capital, in the ancient church of Santa Maria della Steccata, the chief Priory of the Con- stantinian Order had been established for some years past. This man, then, John Andrew appointed to suc- ceed him in a deed executed at Venice on the 27th of July, 1697, transferring to him and his heirs of the house of Farnese all the Constantinian rights and privilege...s that the house of Comnenus had hitherto enjoyed. This deed was ratified by the Emperor Leopold I. In a diploma dated August 6, 1699, and by the Pope a few weeks afterwards by the Brief " Sincerae fidei " above noted. Farnese received the reins of government in the early days of the following year. For seven-and-twenty years he administered the Order, and he set his mark upon it. The first thing he did was to revise the Emperor Isaac's 20 THE SACRED CONSTANTINIAN ORDER Rule of 1190 and bring it up to date.
