Re: THE Bruce

["Judith Harper" <j.harper@internet.co.nz>]

Thanks to all who took the time to explain why "THE  Bruce'.  I thought it
would probably be simple and straightforward and so it was.

I had heard of people called (eg) The McNeill, but hadn't transferred the
concept to Robert the Bruce  - a lack of lateral thinking skills.

Now I am interested in the Jewish Sinclairs which our 'little saint' has
mentioned.  Has their Jewishness come through the maternal line or is there
another reason for this combination?  Niven, I hope you can tell  us more.
Thank you all.
