From The Mad Monarchist (11 August 2013)
St David Komnenos, last Emperor of Trebizond along with his sons Sts Basil, George and Manuel and his nephew St Alexios who were martyred by the Turks in 1463 in Constantinople.
A tug of the forelock to Byzantine Texas for bringing this recent canonization to my attention.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
