The Orsini family had connections to the German families of Anhalt, Baden, Rosenberg and the Julio-Claudian family of ancient Rome. The Orsini “family” functioned much like a global cartel today, though arguably much more powerful.
The Orsini intermarried with the Boboni family in the 11th century, giving them a doubled surname of Boboni-Orsini. This first known members Bobone, was father of Pietro, who was the father of Giacinto dei Boboni who became pope Celestine III in 1191.
Recognized as the nepotist pope, two of his nephews were cardinals and allowed his cousin Giovanni Gaetano to control the lands, buying the fiefs of Vicovaro, Licenza, Roccagiovine and Nettuno. These territories formed the nucleus of the families eventual power structure.
Pepe Orsini - Many researchers believe he is the Grey Pope and is the King of the Holy Roman Papal Bloodlines. [Allegedly] above the Rothschilds and Rockefellers but in line and of equal stature to the Breakspear, Aldobrandini, and other Papal Bloodlines.
