I'm a cousin through marriage to the Marquis de Lafayette, hero of the American Revolution. Also directly related to Marie de la Vergne, author of The Princess of Cleves, considered to be the first important French novel.

My girlfriend is related to Oliver Cromwell. Which is impressive as most of his family was either killed or went into hiding once Charles II attained the throne.

Yeah, it ain't some BS relation either. I am the 13x Direct Grandson of him. Which means I should be King of Scotland I think. When you become King, will you remember us mortals and still post here? If I have time in between doing my Kingly duties, like eating giant turkey legs and sitting at round tables.

Who wishes to join me in my Kingdom of Long Island? If not I will send my Crusades for you. Now, who wants to be my missionary and convince peasants to pay homage to me?
