Ai sensi leggi stampa chiediamo la seguente rettifica, in merito  articolo su Seborga.

Seborga era pertinenza di un bene monastico dinastico del Conte Guido di Ventimiglia, la cui unica ed ultima erede fu Jolanda di Ventimiglia, da cui discende direttamente la principessa Yasmin.Fu concessa in via subordinata in fidecommisso, qualora il conte fosse tornato vivo dalla crociata, ai monaci benedettini di Lèrins, ed in donazione , qualora in crociata fosse perito, essendo lo stesso ancora giovane e privo di prole.La Donazione era condizionata dal rispetto delle clausole comprese nella stessa Fidecommisso che puntualizzava la cura della sepoltura della dinastia Ventimiglia, preci,opere di bene,messe, onoranze, commemorazioni,oltre alla custodia dei beni monastici quali inalienabili ed imprescrittibili legai alla memoria dei Ventimiglia, in perpetuum . Tali condizioni furono disattese,anzi i monaci non ebbero nemmeno la normale vigilanza del bene, assecondando usurpazioni varie,in cambio di prebende, e ai sensi della donazione e ai sensi della fidecommisso. A tal scopo , venute meno le condizioni ,la donazione fu revocata da Jolanda Ventimiglia, che in realta&#039; non si curo&#039; di riappropiarsene materialmete in quanto sposo&#039; un principe curlandese Anglo svevo russo e lasciata in fidecommisso. E&#039; per questo motivo che non cambio&#039; mai proprieta&#039; e all&#039;Italia non fu possibile la trascrizione,in quanto i beni monastici dinastici,non sono usocapionabili e Seborga con tutte le sue pertinenze restano in perpetuum patrimonio dei discendenti di Guido Ventimiglia, ossia di Jolanda Ventimiglia.Cio&#039; spiega perche&#039; persino al Podesta&#039; e allo stesso Mussolini non fu possibile l&#039;attribuzione all&#039;Italia del bene, poiche&#039;non sono usocapionabili i beni monastici,anche se occupati.Se e&#039; rimasta , per mero gentleemnet agreement , bene dello stato italiano e&#039; per gentile concessione dei legittimi discendenti di Jolanda Ventimiglia.Pertanto sono prive di fondamento giuridico successive spiegazioni di ordine esoterico cavalleresco storico, in quanto non cambiano la sostanza del diritto secondo il principio del &quot;Prior in tempore, Potior in iure&quot;, a maggior ragione trattandosi di bene monastico dinastico su cui non vige l&#039;uso capione. Le dichiarazioni e manifestazioni di protervia da parte di una decina di autoproclamatesi reggenti e proprietari di Seborga, sono atto di arbitrio ed appropriazione indebita di proprieta&#039; privata, che se tollerata,qualora degradi a mero insulto e protervia offensiva e&#039; perseguibile per legge, quale atto di indimidazione e minaccia , nonchè stalking diffamatorio per abietti motivi, cosa che non esiteremo ad affrontare con drastiche soluzioni.Ad oggi sussiste la proprieta&#039; privata di Seborga e pertinenze da parte dei legittimi eredi, anche se la Fidecommisso e&#039; stata ratificata a favore dello Stato Italiano.Cio&#039; e&#039; accaduto per l&#039;impossibilita&#039;di un dialogo con gli autoproclamatesi reggenti di Seborga,i quali nonostante tollerati sono ricorsi all&#039;insulto e alla diffamazione.Persone venuti dal nulla , reclamano cio&#039;che appartiene alla legittima proprieta&#039; che dovrebbe anche subire lezioni dai funghi spuntati in una notte?

		<description>Seborga e le sue pertinenze erano  bene monastico dinastico di Guido Ventimiglia, antenato della principessa Jasmine von Hohenstaufen .Legittima erede di tali bene e&#039; la principessa Yasmin ed in mancanza il ramo collaterale del Principe Alduino di Ventimiglia.Guido Ventimiglia puntualizzo&#039;nella donnazione condizioni irrinunciabili disattese dai monaci di Lèrins. La Dinastia di Guido di Ventimiglia cui dinastia si e&#039; estinta  nel pronipote Guglielmo,Abbate , la cui sorella contessa  Jolanda Ventimiglia  ha sposato  Avril de Burey Anjou de Saint Genis de Hohenstaufen ,pronipote  Federico II ed  Isabella d&#039;Inghilterra .Jolanda Ventimiglia Lascaris  aveva revocato la donazione ai monaci benedettini per non aver rispettato le condizioni della donazione stessa, affidandola in Fidecommisso ai detentori. La Fidecommisso non e&#039; una cessione definitiva  e pertanto in qualsiasi momento i legittimi discendenti  veri proprietari, possono decidere sul destino dei beni stessi.La concessione allo Stato Italiano    e&#039; solo un atto di Fidecommissio della Principessa Yasmin, poichè Seborga ed annessi essendo beni monastici dinastici non sono soggetti ad uso capione.</description>

		<description>nice post. I would add that the great tradition of insane royals is still alive and well, the UK&#039;s Prince Philip (husband of Queen Elizabeth II) is known for is somewhat peculiar world view (and unfortunate lack of restraint in expressing it). Some of his better known &#039;gaffes&#039; can be found here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1848553.stm

I reckon its the sad inevitability of interbreading...</description>

		<description>Nisse, collecting urine may have been common practice, but that doesn&#039;t mean that most kingdoms were required to save theirs and turn it in daily.
As far as the queen, there are many cases where executioners messed up, but not where the victim&#039;s lips kept moving. Additionally, dogs rarely turned up from under a woman&#039;s skirts and he wasn&#039;t licking or eating. He was merely laying between his master&#039;s head and body.</description>

		<description>Collecting urine has been common practice in most countries all over the world throughout history. It was used to make leather from skin, and later to make gunpowder. There is nothing special about Charles I order.

Many people cut their hair short becouse of head lice, and using wigs or hats on top. There are many cases of executioners missing with the axe. Dogs like meat and blood. Your story of Queen Marys so called Ghastly Death has nothing special.

You failed misserably on those two and since you clearly didnt check those facts, I question the the rest as well.</description>

		<description>Charles I&#039;s divine right to all animal dung and urine, etc, really isn&#039;t that odd when you consider:

1. He wanted it to make gunpowder, and
2. England has been at war with someone (including itself) for pretty much the last 1000 years!</description>

		<description>Interesting list... but there are a few major errors.

Nouvelle-France is a term for France&#039;s (North?) American possessions: i.e. Acadia through Louisiana, surrouding the early British colonies. No link to the mad King.

And as Alejandro Claude mentionned the name of de Tounens kingdom was &quot;Araucanìa and Patagonia&quot;.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m curious about all these comments regarding grammatical errors and not about the content itself.  I read through this article and don&#039;t even notice the errors, and understand the topics in the article just fine.  Do you have difficulty reading if there are minor errors in the post, or are you just entirely absorbed with the errors that you can&#039;t focus on what’s being said at all?

I’m sure she just uses a spellchecker to make sure there aren’t any typos, and it we all know those can’t find everything without proofreading... but if you’re not getting paid for this type of work and it’s not being graded on, why the hell bother?</description>

		<description>&quot;Kingdom of Arcuania and Pantagonia&quot; actually is Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia. If you can´t even get the names straight, I wonder about the quality and thoroughness of this article....</description>

		<description>I&#039;d like to add &#039;Mad King&#039; Ludwig to the list.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_II_of_Bavaria

He commissioned the construction of various palaces and the castle Neuschwanstein.  Some of them unfinished due to him plunging himself and his family into debt with the production of them, and although his death was declared a suicide, it&#039;s believed that his family may have killed him.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m portuguese so I&#039;m glad to see Inês de Castro&#039;s story there. The mithology of that love is something that we are very proud... It&#039;s like having a real life Romeo &amp; Juliet with a bit of royal family drama to spice things up. 

Further notes on this story... Legend has it Pedro ordered the two executers he caught to be tortured in front of him as he feasted. One had his heart ripped from the front and the other from the back. Yikes... The third guy was never caught and supposedly fled to France. Reports say he was forgiven by the king in his death bed.

Another curiosity, a very important one, they are buried in the same cemitery with their graves pointing at each other. Aparently to make them able to look at each other&#039;s eyes when judgment day arrives.</description>
