You just went in circles....not that my stream of thought was any better, granted...but hey, I'm crazy.

Edit to add:
Howdie TCP. Hope you are doing well.

Exactly, it's entirely circular. Doing well, thanks, hope you are the same.

Weegiegrad West...fascinating

So, what are we looking at here?

Robert the Bruce had his own lodge on Donnachaidh lands, and his Queen had her own pool there. (All conveniently flooded by HRM in order to have a hydro electric dam.) Evidence shows that Bruce and the Clan Chief were best friends and it was to Clan Donnachaidh that Bruce turned for PROTECTION.

Stop to think about that for a moment. Who do rulers usually use for protection? Farmers? And considering the legends associated with Bruce, who do you think he would choose?

(Did Bruce have a lodge on Sinclair lands? I can't find a reference to it)

How do you think the British (military) feels towards a clan whose WOMEN defeated them in battle?....even today? Military history being what it is in certain quarters.

And just to add one of those "WTH" type of things......even Lawrence Gardner and the LaFosse character made allusions to the Clan with their "Kindred of St. Columba" and other 'stuff'. Why?

They are after all The Sons of Robert (how simple could it get?)

Helloooooo? Anyone know where TCP is? This was his cue to tell me that I'm full of shit. If he doesn't do it soon, people are gonna think he's getting sweet on me or something

I know I'm going to catch hell for this, but I'm used to it by now

This is what I see, it's very personal and you guys are just gonna

So, cj....you're gonna have to tell me what you make of it.




Born on Mother’s Day: 5/9/65, in Richmond.

May, the month of Green Man festivals, Emeralds and Taurus the Bull.

The 9th day. The number 9 being a Templar number…..9 Knights, for 9 years…..victory in 9 days….

I descend from the clan they call the Kindred of St. Columba, Kolbjørn (Old Norse, meaning "black bear"). The ‘bear’ star Arcturis, culminates near the 30th of April; to bring in the month of May. My great grandfather Robertson dedicated a church on the very day I was born, 100 years earlier. He married a French Huguenot.

The Huguenot’s my great grandfather married into are from La Rochelle, and Isle de Rhe. The Mazyck’s are well documented and their family Bible can still be viewed at the Huguenot Church in Charleston, SC. The Charleston Liberty Tree was on Mr. Mazyck’s property. The Mazyck’s traveled on ships named the “Margaret” and the “Richmond.”

I was raised in a county named for its Royal Arch, an arch that I traveled over twice yesterday to visit my best friend who will see the Olympic torch while she is on holiday in England. (An allusion to The Bridge can be found in Saunière’s church.) An arch that is located one exit away from Arcadia on Interstate 81 (8+1=9)

And The Shepherds of Arcadia point to the letter “R.”

I suppose this makes me a Templar baby of some sort......I'm still trying to figure it all out.

(When I was a young woman I had someone tell me that I didn't know who I was and that when it came to my life there was nothing left to coincidence ).

Perhaps I should post this.

Something else that gets ignored.

By the way, I'm reading this dippity but don't know enough to comment apart from the above.

Hey TCP!

There is no doubt that Clan Donnachaidh were Knights, but were they Templars? Clan legend, and now some historical evidence, seems to say they were. Then again, the Clan may have been represented in several different Orders, the Templars just being one.

Beats me. Knights in those days were typically freelancers (no pun intended) serving their liege lords. Most didn't enter chivalric orders.

TCP

Freelancers.....muahahahaha.

Okay, so what you are saying is that the guys the clan chief could muster, probably were not members of chivalric orders....which makes sense in a way. But weren't they nearly always rewarded for valor? I mean, besides what ever 'booty' they ended up with?

The lords, etc....they would have entered an order, or maybe had one passed down to him....just like inheriting military rank. Right? So the rank and file would muster under the banner of the liege.

Gawd, military history is sooooo specific. Thank goodness!

Hey TCP,

Is there a difference between a chivalric order and a military order? And if there is, would you explain it to me please. I have no idea what it would be.
