[SonOfDarkSkies]

BTW, speaking of scoundrels, I have always had a portrait hanging in my house of a very distant relative (great great grandfather actually)...one Simon Lord Lovat, who, in his day, was considered the greatest scoundrel in Scotland.

In a final ironic twist, one of the wooden grandstands set up for Londoners to watch Lovat’s execution collapsed resulting in several deaths before Lovat himself went to the gallows.

Here's the Wm. Hogarth etching (that hangs in my hall) of the head of the Fraser clan of Scotland...pretender to the crown...

Sad history.
