If you think only Britain and Ireland have deceived the world into thinking that the Hebrew Israelites did not rule and control Europe for over 1,000 years, think again. Like Britain and Ireland, most of the monuments have been destroyed, defaced and or FAKE monuments made to look caucasian so they can continue to rule in lies.
Conrad of Thuringia (German: Konrad von Thüringen; c. 1206 – 24 July 1240) was the ruler of Thuringia from 1231 to 1234 and the fifth Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights from 1239 to 1240. [1] He was the first major noble to join the military order.
Conrad was the youngest son of Hermann I, Landgrave of Thuringia,[2] and Sophia, a daughter of Otto I, Duke of Bavaria. [3] His elder brother Louis IV of Thuringia, was married to Saint Elisabeth of Hungary. When Louis died in 1227 during the Sixth Crusade, his brother Henry Raspe aka Heinrich became regent for Louis’ minor son Herman II, and Conrad took on the title of Count of Gudensberg in Hesse, assisting his brother in ruling the area.
On Elisabeth’s death in 1231, Henry Raspe took Thuringia for himself and, together with Conrad, worked to consolidate power. Conrad engaged in battle a number of times with Siegfried III, Archbishop of Mainz, at one point personally swinging him around and threatening to cut him in two. In 1232, he besieged the city of Fritzlar, massacring its populace and burning the church. [4]
In the spring of 1239, Konrad succeeded Hermann von Salza, probably due to the Ludowingian house’s proximity to the Curia and the Crown, the late high master of the Teutonic Order. Konrad also pursued Reich politics as a German Knight in the sense of the Ludowinger and to strengthen the Landgraviate of Thuringia. On the Prince’s Day in Eger (1. June 1239), he joined a group formed by his brother Heinrich Raspe together with King Konrad IV, Archbishop Siegfried III of Mainz and Margrave Henry III of Meissen to mediate between Emperor Frederick II and Pope Gregory IX. Konrad’s contacts in the Roman Curia may be to help.
Konrad, who had travelled back to Italy, fell ill in the early summer of 1240 and died on the 24th. July of the same year in Rome. His body was transferred to Marburg and buried in the Elisabeth Church there.

It is situated on a precipice of 410 meters (1,350 ft) to the southwest of and overlooking the town of Eisenach in the state of Thuringia, Germany. It was the home of St. Elisabeth of Hungary, the place where Martin Luther translated the New Testament of the Bible into GermanWikipedia

He is laid to rest inside Die Elisabethkirche in Marburg (German) St. Elizabeth’s Church in Marburg, Germany, was built by the Order of the Teutonic Knights in honour of St. Elizabeth of Hungary.[1] Her tomb made the church an important pilgrimage destination during the late Middle Ages. The church is one of the earliest purely Gothic churches in German-speaking areas, and is held to be a model for the architecture of Cologne Cathedral. It is built from sandstone in a cruciform layout. The nave and its flanking aisles have a vaulted ceiling more than 20 m (66 ft) high.

Terms: To be held by John and Isabel for the rest of their lives, paying annually to John and his heirs 15 silver shillings in equal portions at 4 named annual terms and making suit at his [manor] court in Wellingore. Date: Wednesday in Crastino of St. Peter ad Vincula, 14 Edward II
Wellingore paid an assize to the Hospitallers at Temple-Bruern, and it seems that before it passed to the Hospitallers, the Buslingthorpes were (more or less) connected with Temple-Bruem. Sir John may have been a Templar belonging to that Preceptory or otherwise associated with their order.
Church of St Michael Buslingthorpe Lincolnshire dates from the 13th century, with alterations and additions in the following century.[3] In 1835 it was restored and, other than the tower was rebuilt in brick by Edward James Willson. The church stands on the site of a deserted mediaeval village.[4] It was declared redundant in 1984.[4]
