This is a very interesting discussion. I just finished reading it from the first page. But it seems to me that Irlmaier and others that refer to a Germanic Monarch are talking about one of the twelve Kings that St. Francis of Paola talked about, but not THE Great Monarch.
St. Francis of Paola (15th Century) "By the grace of the Almighty, the great Monarch will annihilate heretics and unbelievers. He will have a great army, and angels will fight at his side. He will be like the sun among the stars. His influence will spread over the whole earth. All in all, there will be on earth
twelve Kings, one Emperor, one Pope, and a few Princes. They will all lead holy lives."
So let me add what I have to this discussion. This is what I posted in another forum a couple of years ago (that myself and many others were banned from).

This video (which has since been taken down by the owner) about prophecies from Ireland and the Great Monarch is very interesting. One of the prophecies is "Legion and progeny of the King that XVI is his number come to hunt the tyrants." The last Bourbon king before the French Revolution was Louis XVI. If you look at the French Monarchs' genealogy it traces it back to Hugh Capet, the Merovingians and the Carolingians who were Franks, a German tribe. But not very long ago I was looking at a site that traced Hugh Capet's line further back to an Ard Rí or High King of Ireland. I've been looking for it for a couple of hours but I haven't been able to find it. I wanted to see if it had a King Arthur in the line. lol
This page on Hugh Capet is interesting too. According to it in 987 when the last of Charlemagne's direct descendants, Louis the Child died the barons met together to choose a ruler and Duke Hugh Capet became king. "Gaul, or France, had been ruled for many years by Romans and by Germans, but Hugh Capet was a Frenchman, ruling French people, the first king of France." I kind of doubt "the first king of France" but that's what the page says.
http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?author=tappan&book=middle&story=capet The first line in the Irish prophecies is "Ireland, recall from exile your forgotten sons."
It goes on to say "warriors she call on you to fight", she meaning Mary.
"her lieutenant is Ard ri Erenn monarch of Tara"
"He is not Irish but his heart was"
"He is from lilies of France and knows how to carry the cross"
Then it says
"to crush the tyrant you will only rely on the Gedeon forces" in reference to the Book of Judges chapters 6 to 8.
"from the Galleon of New France, Gedeon move slowly"
There used to be a short Canadian history clip played quite often here that showed that many Quebec families adopted Irish orphans that their parents died on the coffin ships after the potato famine. If I can remember correctly it said that about a quarter of the population of Quebec now has Irish roots, but I'm thinking it may have said more. An Irish only Legion led by the progeny of Louis XVI under Mary's banner to go hunt the tyrants. Amazing. Gives me the shivers. Many people of Highland Scot decent (like myself) are Irish from way back too. lol At one time Scotland used to be called Scotia Minor, Erenn being Scotia Major. A dna study of France shows 80% in the west and about 60% in the east having Celtic R1b Y haplogroup still from the time of the Gauls.
Yes for sure, the Great Monarch would definitely have to be consecrated to her and use the standard of the Holy Mother of God.
In the most recent issue of the Fatima Crusader, the 100th issue, Father Gruner has a time line of the events of his apostolate. When talking about the Pope with all the bishops doing a proper consecration of Russia Father Gruner says on page 34, "There is nothing really stopping him at the present time. But in the short space of a few months or a few years, he may no longer have that freedom."

This discussion at the other forum continued into talk about the Dauphin (King Louis XVI's son) surviving and escaping the Temple Prison during the French Revolution and that there is one of his progeny alive right now, re "from the Galleon of New France, Gedeon move slowly". And one of the guys in the discussion said the Dauphin's progeny is in hiding being protected in Canada because his life has already been threatened. This person didn't want to post too much in the forum so we continued the discussion in PM. I was able to find that line from where the Dauphin's progeny will come with some online research. That's all I am going to say about the Dauphin's progeny because my friend wouldn't want me to say more. But I found it all online so anyone that is interested can as well. Like the prophecies say the Great Monarch will come from the line of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
