Biography

"Forsyth’s genealogical mystification went unchallenged during his lifetime, and he was able to recruit three of his 'relatives' in the Seigneurial Order: Ronald Denys de La Ronde, a lawyer in Montreal, John Durham Denis de Vitré, an Anglican clergyman in England, and Louis Denys de Bonnaventure, a French aristocrat who was living in his chateau near La Rochelle and who was later joined in the Order by his children Elisabeth and Jean. In 1901, the Order was known as the Aryan, Royal and Seigneurial Order of the Noblesse of Canada and Acadia. It was governed by a six-member Sovereign Council modeled on the structure adopted for the Aryan Order of America in the 1880s, with Forsyth relinquishing the chancellorship to a prestigious appointee while keeping control of the organization as Herald Marshall." ^[1]
