I was actually taught the basics of primogeniture by Mrs. Mobbs, my teacher in the 3rd grade. (That was back when they really tried to educate in publc schools in the US)
But all this detail about the passing and creating of titles is quite fascinating. Thank you, gentlemen, for a stimulating bit of repartee. Those of us who are not so familiar with the topic are finding a true education here.
BTW, I'll take Jock's bet. I'll bet the first dram of whisky when he comes over--or when I go over, which ever comes first--that HRH is kilted in Greenville. If the good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise, I'll be there to take photos.
It's only about a 2 hour drive from here.
I have no inside info, but I do love a good wager, and it'll add some anticipation. Besides, who wouldn't want to share a drink with another curmudgeon? I might get to see his bonnet up close and personal.
