This ought to trigger a few Scots.

 

So... should we call you:

A) "Sir Ziggy"
B) "Lord Ziggy"
C) "Duke Ziggy"
D) Or will just "Your Royal Highness" suffice?

;-)

P.S. Genealogy is cool. I wish I could trace back my roots that far... I've tried! I doubt I'm related to royalty...

 

if I were born in any other country I could technically put the "HRH" in front of my name but the residents of the American colonies lost that right after the revolutionary war. However, during the Revolutionary war my family had already moved to Nova Scotia and didn't return until 1847 so it MIGHT still apply

 

Depends on what people you ask. The Welsh and Scottish of that time would call him a jerk, while the English nobles wouldn't.
