File:Dom Fernando Pinto Pereira de Sousa Fontes (1929 – 2018).webp

English: Dom Fernando Pinto Pereira de Sousa Fontes (1929 – 2018). The most direct succession of the Order of the Temple founded by Fabré-Palaprat remains in the Belgian branch which in 1894 created the "International Secretariat of the Templars" in Brussels.. In 1942 Emile Clément Joseph Isaac Vandenberg, Grand Prior of Belgium, transferred the archives of the OSMTJ order to Porto in Portugal, and entrusted them to Antonio Campelo Pinto de Sousa Fontes (1878-1960), the last heir of a neo-Templar genealogy that dates back to the times of the French Revolution. Antonio Sousa Fontes became the new "grand master" after Vandenberg's death. In 1948, Antonio Campelo Sousa Fontes appointed his son Dom Fernando Pinto Pereira de Sousa Fontes to succeed him who at the death of his father in 1960 became the prince regent and grand master of OSMTH (1929-2018).
