Prince François, Count Of Clermont
Prince François of Orléans, Count of Clermont (François Henri Louis Marie; 7 February 1961 – 30 December 2017) was the eldest son and heir apparent of the Orléanist pretender to the French throne, Henri, Count of Paris (born 1933), Prince Henri, Count of Paris, Duke of France and Duchess Marie-Thérèse of Württemberg.

His godparents were Henri, Count of Paris (1908–1999), Henri, Count of Paris (paternal grandfather) and Archduchess Rosa of Austria, Duchess Rosa of Württemberg (maternal grandmother).

L'Arche ("The Ark") is an international federation of non-profit organisations working to create networks of community where people with and without intellectual disabilities live and work together. Founded in 1964 by Jean Vanier, Raphaël Simi, and Philip Seux, L'Arche emerged as a reaction and community-based alternative to the ill-treatment and dismal living conditions in the psychiatric institutions of the 1960s.

Countess Elisabeth Dobrzensky Of Dobrzenicz
Count (feminine: countess) is a historical title of nobility in certain European countries, varying in relative status, generally of middling rank in the hierarchy of nobility. Pine, L. G. ''Titles: How the King Became His Majesty''. New York: Barnes & Noble, 1992. p. 73. .
