Please tell me he is not a Romanov. I will puke from here to Christmas!

Well, well, well. I have been saying for quite a while that he wants to be King, and will brook no dissent.
Gore stated he was Love Story, will Kerry state he is subject of the DaVinci Code ?
"Forbes was descended from William Forbes, the Laird of Newe, an extended family that included many baronets, Burke's Peerage said."
Technically, baronets are not aristocracy. A baronetcy is a hereditary knighthood. A knight is a commoner (unless they possess other titles as well).
King Henry VIII came up with the idea when he was short on cash (he spent a lot of time fighting with other countries, which gets expensive) and needed to figure out a new way to soak the middle class for more taxes. When someone is created a knight, he has to pay a tax (scutage) to the Crown. Henry started making a lot of merchants and others baronets, and gave them the welcome news along with a hefty tax bill. They were not happy with the idea at the time.
Pretty soon he'll start claiming he's the Queen of England.
". . .will Kerry state he is subject of the DaVinci Code ?"
Exactly!
Every time I read one of these stories (which appear every time there is a presidential race), I realize that the "Merovingians" are alive and well.
Has anyone heard anything else about if Kerry is related to Franklin Peirce? I heard one story a couple of weeks ago. Because if he is than I am distantly related to him. (gasp)
No I haven't but Ma Bush is a relative of Franklin Pierce and therefore one of yours too.
Then again, you all already know that I'm descended from royalty once I said that I was Irish, which, of course, is synonymous. Never met an Irishman that wasn't descended from some king or other.
TS
I feel your pain. The Russian lineage has me riding the porcelain bus if he is truly related.
So - you may have a King of ...rats in America.
And they are stuck in a time warp!!! That kind of adoration is over and thank GOD for that!
If you send a check for say $1,000 dollars to Burkes Peerage , they will find some unknown Royal you are related to too. The bigger the check the more important the Royal. With Theresa's money I am surprised Kerry isnt a Prince, hey Maybe he is---"The Prince of Tides.
