My last name is still cool. And the coat of arms/family motto rocks.


Same here. Both My grandfather and grandmother are descendants from Spanish Royalty that I hold dearly. Not that I see my self as a king or anything it is just nice to know you have some noble family in the past. My grandfather actually has the coat of arms for my family's last name from Spain.View attachment 183178View attachment 183179
Well, brother, I have some Spanish royalty in my background as well!
Jimenez via marriage into the Plantagenet line. Don't get too excited. My English side of the family quickly fell down the social tubes after the War of the Roses. They ultimately became humble Baptist farmers around the Great Lakes and the nicer portions of Appalachia.
I say this in case folks here think I ruminate on ways to take back the throneBy the God's grace, they (we, I guess) were better off with a plow and Bible than a sword and scepter.
AWESOME!!! Here we go: Both my family crests, and bloodline, are from the House of Castile of Spain. Carrillos were Bishops, and Ronquillos were noble Knights. Our Family married into the English royal bloodline when Eleanor of Castile Married Edward I in 1254 A.D.. Every English Monarch descendant after has been our bloodline in them. Queen Elizabeth II of England today's blood line can be traced back to ours.Family history is awesome. I always get super interested when I was reading C.S.Lewis Chronicles of Naria when it came to knights and nobles because I would think about my ancestors and imagine myself as a knight.

Eleanor is the grandmama referenced in the post above!I see how the Carillo's seal resembles the Castillian castle. Very cool!
My Welsh peasant last name kept me a little more down to earth. My medieval fantasies involved being a Longbowman at Crecy and Agincourt. That or taking pot shots at Saladin under Lionheart.![]()
I think the Welsh have the best accents out of all the accents available in English. There's American, Australian, English, Scottish, Irish, etc, but I think the Welsh have the best one. To me, choosing your favorite accent is like choosing your favorite ice cream. There is something about the richness in annunciation that Welsh accent has that makes it the koolest. I have only heard one Welshman speak, but it was enough to compare my attention. It was actually a man that came on video chat on this website once. He was preaching and I was in awe at the uniqueness of his accent.![]()

BAPTISTS?Don't let Sov hear about this...
Yeah, I've recently re-converted too. But since I have arrived by way of the Presbyterian church, I am more Reformed than he.![]()
Definitely don't let Sov hear about THAT. (I'll forgive you...I guess. Even if you are wrong).
