The two brothers were also guaranteed the right to inherit territory in the former Byzantine Empire, should such territory be recovered from the Ottomans, and, as recognized heirs to the Byzantine imperial title, given the right to appoint princes and even kings themselves. The papacy was eager to support the Angeli, not only because Pope Paul III had genuinely believed their claims, but also because a family of Catholic descendants of Byzantine emperors provided hope that if the Ottomans were ever driven out of the Balkans, the Byzantine Empire could be restored under a Catholic dynasty, religiously obedient to the papacy.

Western Europe without much dispute: there were already several known descendants of Byzantine nobility across the continent, legitimate or not, so the addition of another family was not surprising. The earliest certain ancestor of the Angeli was the Albanian noble Andres Engjëlli (Hellenized as "Andreas Angelos" and written as "Andrea Angelo" in Italian), attested in the 1480s.

Because of the hereditary succession, and the increasing prestige of the order, the Angeli had to face several forgers and self-styled princes who claimed either relation with their family, or alternate lines of imperial descent themselves, so as to produce superior claims to the position. For the most part, such claimants were opportunists without actual links to Greek or Albanian families, and the Angeli were consistently successful in exposing fraudsters and maintaining their own rights.

Many later forgers of Byzantine claims purported that they were either part of the Constantinian Order, or its legitimate grand master.

When the Angeli began to claim to represent grand masters of this order is not entirely clear, though the claim is attested from Pope Paul III's acknowledgement of the descent of Andrea and Paolo in 1545 onwards.
