Royal credentials of Stephen Mowbray McDermott

Ciphers of the Royal Arms

Fox-Davis; states in The Art of Heraldry: there are two ciphers one within and one without the Garter, “ and also that much ingenuity seems to have been expended in devising mottoes which should convey an index of the name and family of the owner”. The Royal Encyclopedia states of the Royal Arms: (ie Royal motto and Royal Garter), “Their functional purpose is the heraldic identification of the person, which should clearly identify a particular person”. By unique ingenuity the name in the Royal Arms is Stephen (Mc)Dermott.

Dermott cipher in the Motto

• Place the little-finger as a pivot on the letter N of DIEU ET MOи DROIT. Point the index-finger right and left, seven times (R:L:R:L:R:L:R): to demonstrate the name D(1). E(2). R(3). M(4). O(5). T(6). T(7).
  
• DERMOTT (En): aka DERMOT*. DIARMUID*. DIARMAID (Ir): DERMID* & DIARMAD* (Sc): (Ref *): All are anglicised forms of the primary name DIARMAID - pronounced DEER-mid.
  
• The name DIARMID means God of arms. DIEU on the royal arms means God. The three unused letters of Dieu et mON droIt (O N I) are repeated on the Garter.

Stephen cipher in the Garter

• Place the Garter-section PENSE (thought) between the Lion's paws (re: Paws for thought), on top of the Garter-section; H-ONI SOI-T = H-PENSE-T. (Think it over) = H-ESNEP-T.
  
• Place the little-finger as a pivot on the letter N of this ( H-ESNEP-T ). Point the index-finger right and left, seven times; (R:L:R:L:R:L:R): to demonstrate the name S(1). T(2). E(3). P(4). H(5). E(6). N(7).
• The name STEPHEN is derived from the Greek Στεφανος meaning crown. It is an English Christian name; popularized in England and Christian world by Normans.
  

Scientific investigations

Empirical proof

The scientific investigation of any cryptographic hypothesis, must examine the evidence, to prove the truth of the hypothesis, by empirically testable experiments and observations.
The described finger-pivot method scientifically proved a cipher of Dermott in the motto, also within the same coat of arms, by the same process, a cipher of Stephen in the Garter. Accordingly it is an empirical fact, that these names are encrypted within the Royal arms. According to Fox-Davis, much ingenuity was expended in devising mottoes to identify the name and family, to whom the Motto-Arms belonged. In this case; the name Stephen specifically linked to a Dermott; devised, in reference to the motto and Garter of the Royal Arms.

Numeric sequences, defined as the set “jumping” order of rank

• The defendant was asked by the Judge to demonstrate to the court, how the name of DERMOTT could be see on the Royal Arms. The defendant demonstrated this, by raising his right hand, placing his little finger on N of Dieu et moN droit, then pivoting his index finger, alternatively right then left seven times, pointing to the name D-E-R-M-O-T-T.

• The “set jumping order of rank: [ 6 – 4 – 2 – (N) – 1 – 3 – 5 – 7 ]” represents a sequential order of reference, (odd numbers to Right - even numbers to Left), of the (N) pivot-point. Thus, in terms of direction, this sequence represents [ L - L – L – (N) – R – R – R – R ] in numeric order [ (N) – 1 = R ] & [ 2 – (N) = L ] gives [ R – L – R – (N) - L – R – L – R ].

• This [ R – L ] sequence key, is then applied to the motto to define the [D-E-R-M-O-T-T]. Thus, in reference to the word Droit (meaning right); [ (N) - 1 ] represents the first letter, (of the 1st word), to the right of the (N), which is [ D ]. Accordingly, [ 2 – (N) ] = E, which is again in the same sequential order, ie the first letter (of the 1st word) to the Left of [N ] &c.

[ ET MON DROIT ]

• D, the first letter (of the 1st word) to the Right
• E, the first letter (of the 1st word) to the Left
• R, the second letter (of the 1st word) to the Right
• M, the first letter (of the 2nd word) to the Left
• O, the third letter (of the 1st word) to the Right
• T, the second letter (of the 1st word) to the Left
• T, the last letter (of the 1st word) to the Right

[ 1=R, 1=L, 1=R, 2=L, 1=R, 1=L, 1=R ]

[ 1-1-1-2-1-1-1 = R-L-R-L-R-L-R ]

[ H- P E N S E -T ]

• S, the first letter to the Right
• T, the third letter to the Right
• E, the second letter to the Right
• P, the second letter to the Left
• H, the third letter to the Left
• E, the first letter to the Left
• N, the pivot

[ 1=R, 3=R, 2=R, 2=L, 3=L, 1=L. ]

[ 1-3-2 - 1-3-2 = R-R-R - L-L-L ]

[ H- E S N E P -T ]

• S, the first letter to the Left
• T, the third letter to the Right
• E, the second letter to the Left
• P, the second letter to the Right
• H, the third letter to the Left
• E, the first letter to the Right
• N, the pivot

[ 1=L, 3=R, 2=L, 2=R, 3=L, 1=R. ]

[ 1-3-2 - 2-3-1 = L-R-L-R-L-R ]

Cipher-keys - Pivot-point

The Pivot-point of the [ N ] on the motto and Garter, was first discovered on the Royal Arms of Charles I, above the entrance to the Kings Manor in York. Whereupon, the Motto DIEU ET MON DROIT has the [ и ] of MON deliberately carved in reverse. The second relevant reversed [ и ] pivot-point, was on the seal of Swinton of the Ilk : NB: Motto: "Je Pense". The pivot-finger, was discovered on portraits of Henry VIII, and the portrait of Richard III (1482-1455), depicted as grasping the Garter in his right hand, emphasising his right-hand little-finger. Moreover, Charles I in the Eikon Basilike, also shows him visualising a Crown (Stephen), also grasping the Garter, again emphasising the same little-finger, and specifically pointing this to the words; IN VERBO TVO SPES MEA: (In Thy Word is My Hope).

Recent Cipher-usage - Jumping order of rank

Both these numeric sequences, [6 – 4 – 2 – 1 – 3 – 5 – 7] , have been recently termed as the set “jumping” order of rank in “Heraldry Sources, Symbols and Meaning; Neubecker, International Academy of Heraldry. The article-image shows a centralized Saxe-Coburg-Gotha arms, within a Garter, above which, are crested hierarchical crowns, each showing six inherited helmets, all barred affronte. The inherited helmets are arranged in the set “jumping” order of rank i.e. [5-3-1-2-4-6]. The arms are stated as representing the European sovereign; Bernhard II (1800-1882), a Garter Knight, younger brother of Princess Adelaide, later Queen Adelaide (1792–1849), queen consort of the United Kingdom and Hanover, spouse of King William IV. Such hierarchical crowns and inherited helmets, bourn by European sovereigns like Bernhard II, were previously unknown on the continent, or to English heraldic officials.

Historical investigations

1509ad: Michelangelo: Ceiling of Sistine Chapel: Right Hand of God

C14th: Henry II: Thomas Becket

1649ad: Eikon Basilike

Existing before all known languages, fingers, hands and Arms, have always been a means of communication, to simply point is internationally understood: The picture St. Thomas Becket faces King Henry II in a dispute; is thus described due soley to the images of their hands and fingers. The portraits of Kings Henry VIII and Richard III, both emphasise their Right Hand little fingers. Richard III is also depicted as grasping the Heraldic badge of St. George and the Dragon; suspended from the Chain of the Order of the Garter in his right hand, with specific emphasis on his Right Hand little finger: The emphasis of Right Hand, little finger and Garter, convey hidden communications.

These same emphases are repeated by King Charles I: "Charles the Martyr" by W Marshall illustrating the “Eikon Basilike”, also shows King Charles grasping the Chain of the Order of the Garter, and specifically emphasising his Right Hand little finger; depicted pointing to the letters: IN VERBO TVO SPES MEA: (In Thy Word is My Hope): Re: Stephen-cipher (HOPE-NSE). :Charles also appears to be in thought about God, also thinking about a symbolic crown, whilst holding a crown of thorns of the Son of God; this crown of a circularity wreath symbolizing a never-ending circle of eternity or Crown of Immortality; See: Bilblical origins Right Hand of God or God's Right Hand: alluding to his Divine Right of Kings: DIEU et mon DROIT: (GOD and my RIGHT): Hand on a Bible Right Hand raised; defines a legal Oath before God.

Eikon's emphases may be explained in reference to the Royal Arms of King Charles I; which can be seen above the main entrance of the Kings Manor, St. Leonards Place, York, near to York Minster. Henry VIII and Charles II stayed at the Kings Manor, as did Charles I (1633 & 1639): Depicting a first use of his Unicorn supporter, the Royal Motto; DIEU ET MON DROIT, has the [ N ] of MON carved in reverse. The Garter motto is also re-defined, as exampled in the Royal Arms of King Charles II (dated: 1682): (Christow Church, Devon): GARTER motto: MAL PENSE HONI SOIT QUI: Uniquely, he letter [ Y ] is missing, also the letters PENSE are between the lions paws, (i.e. Paws for thought): and the letters HONI SOIT are between the Unicorn’s hooves: NB: "Dieu et mon droit" means "God and my right", also; “God and my Right Hand:” (i.e. motto of George III ):

Histories of the mottoes

The Royal Arms

Mowbray arms

Ireland arms

The history of the HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE, motto of the Garter, suggests that it was founded, or first used by, the House of Plantagenet in the 14th century, by Edward III in (1348). The history of the DIEU ET MON DROIT motto, suggests it was founded, or first used by, the House of Lancaster in the 15th century, during the reign of Henry V (1413-1422). DIEU ET MON DROIT means God and my right, and also means God and my right hand, which was the motto of George III . In other Heraldic usages, the DIEU ET (on its own) is listed with giving an oath. The MON DROIT (on its own) is quoted as; My right hand. The DROIT (on its own) is quoted as meaning in French; law; a legal title, claim or due.

King Stephen of England died (1154), almost 200 years before the founding of the Garter (c.1348). King Dermott (Gold Harp), of Ireland died (1171), almost 250 years before the motto was founded (c.1413-22). The DIEU ET MON DROIT motto, founded, or first used during the reign of King Henry V (1413-1422), seemingly, bears no assosiation with the Dermott of Ireland, who died in (1171). However, according to Herbert Norris, this same motto, was allegedly first used as a password by King Richard I, of the House of Plantagenet in (1198) at the Battle of Gisors, only 27 years after the death of King Dermott, whose arms of the Gold Harp of Leinster, did not appear on the Royal arms until the House of Stuart (1603-1714), during the reign of James I, over 400 years after the death of Dermott.

Dermott Mowbray succession

For more than 150 years before the English invasion in 1172, Ireland consisted of small feudal kingdoms such as Leinster, ruled over by a male descendant of its former kings, such as King DERMOTT McMorough, whose successions continued until the reign of Henry VIII. These petty Sovereigns (“regali”) elected one of themselves as Sovereign Lord of Ireland, as considered to Henry II and his successors. Henry II was succeeded in 1189 by John who became King of England in 1199, since which time the two kingdoms continued together until 1688. Under Henry VI, Ireland was divided into many Palatine Honours &c. The Kingdom of Leinster, (Gold Harp), was in 1172 granted to Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke (“Strongbow” – Unicorn crest), who had married Eva, daughter of Dermott McMorough, Prince and King of Leinster. On the death of Richard de Clare in 1177, it passed to his daughter and heir Isabel, to her husband William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke and Earl Marshal of England, who was granted the Lordship of Leinster in 1207. On the death of the last of their five sons as successors in 1245, the Great Palatine Honour of Leinster was distributed among his five sisters and co-heirs.

Carlow or Catherlogh, was obtained in 1245 by the first sister, Maud, Countess of Warren, who was succeeded by her son and heir by her former husband Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk and Earl Marshall. Roger Bigod died in 1270, succeeded by his nephew Earl Roger, who surrendered it to the crown in 1302. They were then granted to Thomas (Plantagenet) de Brotherton, who was created Earl of Norfolk in 1312, from whom they passed, through the families of Segrave and Mowbray Dukes of Norfolk, who were deprived of this Lordship by the Irish act of absentees, by Henry VIII, when the Honour of Carlow became vested in the Crown. The “Gold Harp or, stringed silver, crowned” (of Dermott & Ireland) was first used as a royal badge by Henry VIII, later appearing in the third quarter of the Royal Arms in the reign of James I of England, who also used the unicorn (de Clare) as a supporter on the Royal Arms.

MODERN and CURRENT HISTORY

Stephen Mowbray McDermott (1952-)

In 1989, Stephen McDermott accidentally discovered his birth-names; Stephen and Dermott, were each en-Cyphered in the Garter and motto of the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom.

“ Yet for one man, St. Georges Day was the most important of all. He spent it driving around London waving the flag of St. George from his car window. He told all who would listen that his family, the Mowbrays, were hereditary enforcers of Magna Carta. Asked what he did for a living, he said: “I do this.” If his fervoir seemed un-English there may be a clue to his temperament in his full name Stephen Mowbray McDermott.  Tom Utley. Daily Telegraph. St George's Day, (1991). ”

Government investigations

That which is kept hidden is known as the secret. A secret is secret information that is purposely not made available to the general public in order to gain an advantage &/or to help in propaganda efforts. Secrecy is the practice of hiding information from certain individuals or groups, and is often controversial, depending on the content of the secret, the group, officials, or people keeping the secret, and the motivation for secrecy.

Police investigations

Judicial investigations

Judicial demonstration

This evidence of his name on the Royal Arms, was demanded under oath, by Judge McMullan, in Regina v. Stephen Mowbray McDermott: St. Albans Crown Court: 30 October 1997. The defendant was asked by the Judge to demonstrate to the court, how the name of DERMOTT could be see on the Royal Arms. The defendant demonstrated this, by raising his right hand, placing his little finger on N of Dieu et moN droit, then pivoting his index finger, alternatively right then left seven times, pointing to the name D-E-R-M-O-T-T.
