The Roseline DaVinci Tartan

[gilmore]

Historically kilt makers just randomly made tartans before any family has specified names associating them with specific tartan.

I don't know how randomly made they were, but, other than the Sobieski Stuart brothers, I can't think of any tartans that were sold using as many outright lies as this one does. I welcome corrections, since my knowledge of fraudulent tartans is limited.

By the way, "Charles Edward Stuart (soi-disant Charles, Prince of Wales, and later Charles III) took Clementina Walkinshaw (1720-1802) as his mistress
from 1752-1760 (and treated her abominably). They had one daughter,
Charlotte, Duchess of Albany (1753-1789), whom Charles also considered
with derision, and would not allow to marry.

She became the mistress of the French prince, Ferdinand Maximilien Meriadec of Rohan, archbishop of Bordeaux. Their children were Aglae Charlotte (b. 1780), Marie Victoire (b.
1782) and Charles Edward (1784-1854), the last styling himself 'Count
Roehenstart.'"

Mr Maxwell-Stuart is nowhere listed among them.

I'm not a moderator, I don't play one on TV, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

With that said, a most humble request: if we're going to talk about the DaVinci Code, could we limit ourselves to discussing Dan Brown's literary techniques? I actually saw a real, punches-type fight break out as a result of discussing Brown's novel. (Hint hint: it's a NOVEL, like Battlefield Earth.)

Nice looking tartan, but it'd be way down there on the list for me.

To further Kid Cossack's request, if you choose to dicuss the literary abilities of Dan Brown, please so in the off-topic area, but please avoid fisticuffs.
