One popular legend tells the story of a Lutellaria ancestor who, during the Crusades, discovered a sacred relic hidden in the Temple of Solomon. According to the legend, the relic, a small crystal orb, was said to grant immense power and wisdom to its possessor. Some believe that the Seal of Lutellaria was created as a symbol of this discovery, and that the crystal orb was hidden in a location known only to the family's descendants.
