Wow thanks for keeping my fan-club alive everyone! I really appreciate that! Now, on to what I missed.
Yes, It's a long story. My great great great great grandfather was the son of the Baron of Compostela, which is in Galicia, Spain... but it's really a Portuguese Area, just look up Galicia and you'll find out. But, my great great grandfather married a Portuguese woman who died, before marrying my great great great great grandmother. Of course, Succession of Eldest Children always comes first, the son he had with that woman took over the Barony, this was before Compostela became a city... It's kind of confusing but that is the story, so I'm told.
lmao...better believe it?
Baron von Compostela lol. In Portuguese it would be "O Barao da Compostela" and Spanish it would be "El Baron de la Compostela". I actually think I have some german ancestry, but that would have to be generations back.
We all descend from Royalty, believe it or not, and that's what rocks about us!
Now my turn, I descended from Empress Theodora, lmao, now it's even.
Back then, Barons were lords who watched over lands for the kings. In Spain, there's still a king, but there isnt much need to watch over lands because no one's going to take over it. Nowadays, Compostela isn't a town any more, its a City, and I think that it can watch over itself, but the Barony is in the more rural northernside, I haven't visited the estate yet, but I will hopefully on the trip I'm going to.
Wouldn't have known lmao, but thanks! No wonder they're the lowest rank, we only live in Mansions, while Counts live in Grand Villas, and Duke's live in Palaces @_@ lol. But mansions are huge lol.
lol, I'm doing okay, my weekend was rad and weird at the same time, and why would everyone be jealous? I have no royal powers lmao.

Chairman Kaga said:Even though you're not German, if you ever inherit your father's baron-ness you should change your name to "Baron von (your name)" XD
Baron von Compostela lol. In Portuguese it would be "O Barao da Compostela" and Spanish it would be "El Baron de la Compostela". I actually think I have some german ancestry, but that would have to be generations back.
Hotaru said:My great-great-great-great-great grandpa was a baron, back when my family lived in Germany. >D

Chairman Kaga said:And I now have to brag for the millionth time that I'm descended from Charlemagne...so there XD
Now my turn, I descended from Empress Theodora, lmao, now it's even.
Kylie-chan said:And... I'm descended from some king in some country I forget... and... I've forgotten his name. X3; Unlike my parents, I'm not fascinated with my family genealogy. XD
Cool, that's four of us distantly/non-distantly royal =P
...what exactly does a baron do? XD;

Chairman Kaga said:These are the only two relevant definitions I could get from my dictionary XP~
1.) A nobleman (in various countries) of varying rank (well, duh XD )
2.) A British peer of the lowest rank
Aaaaaaand this doesn't help because Dizzy isn't British =p~
Wouldn't have known lmao, but thanks! No wonder they're the lowest rank, we only live in Mansions, while Counts live in Grand Villas, and Duke's live in Palaces @_@ lol. But mansions are huge lol.
