Count Lemke wearing the tie of San Luigi
The Abbey-Principality extends its sincere condolences upon the death of Count Carl Lemke of Texas, USA. Count Lemke was born at Little Rock, Arkansas, on 24 October 1951. He was a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Crown of Thorns and the Order of the Lion and the Black Cross, and further held office in the Royal Byelorussian Orders. In 2014, the Prince-Abbot of San Luigi conferred on him the hereditary title of Count and granted him arms. He was also a Fellow of the Institute of Arts and Letters (London) and received the Grand Prix Humanitaire de France et des Colonies.
Count Lemke was an exceptionally skilled craftsman and established Unique Regalia, a manufacturer of chivalric insignia. He was appointed by warrant as official insignia maker to San Luigi and Royal Belarus and many members of our Orders can testify to the high quality of his work. His son Joseph, who is also a member of the San Luigi Orders and now succeeds to his father’s title of Count, assisted him in this thriving business. Both father and son were veterans of the United States military.
