Re: Prince & Jarl

["Sinclair" <labehotierre@wanadoo.fr>]

The question was and is 'What made Henry a Prince?'

Ian of Noss wrote "the very essence of what we are all about, SCOTTISH
HISTORICAL RESEARCH" in another email surely, Ian wrote "the objective
should be to continue with our research until we have covered every
eventuality"

Pronunciation: ri-'s&rch, 'rE-"
Function: noun

thoroughly, from Old French, from re- + cerchier to search --

experimentation aimed at the discovery and interpretation of facts, revision
of accepted theories or laws in the light of new facts, or practical

Without emotive is it possible to get an answer to this question?
