So my best friend tells me she's a princess

[Dis]

I'm not sure how to react to this news. Kind of hard to believe. Even though I trust her. I don't expect you guys to believe this. But I do hope you guys don't reveal her country of origin. I have revealed it here before. She is technically on the run. And I heard they have come looking for her. Though I can't imagine people would kidnap a person in the U.S. and take her out of the country. But Pekka has me all paranoid about internet security. .

Yeah I already know she's a bit of an attention whore. So I look this up on google. I don't know her fathers full name, only her last name. She is connected to the royal family. But I don't think she's a princess. Don't you have to be a daughter of the king to be a princess?

I'm thinking women are all nutjobs. But I love them anyways.

In any case, she is cut off from her family and recieves no payments anyways (but her father and uncle still do). So I guess now, she isn't ****. I have no intention of treating her any different. Though I wouldn't mind ****ing a princess. Not that I would have minded ****ing her before.

Is she from Nigeria?

Ask her if she'd like to hold your scepter. You know, for old time's sake.

Someone's been watching "The Princess Diaries" once too often, hasn't she?

[Harovan]

Don't kiss her, or she'll turn into a frog. Or was that vice versa?

[Heresson]

kiss her!

[Nubclear]

This is exceedingly silly.

Nope. Historically, the title of prince/princess was below that of duke/duchess but above that of marquis/marquissa. Children of royalty and nobelity are usually endowed with one of their parent's many titles. My best guess is that children of the king began being called princes/princesses when the royal family in Britain started granting the Heir to the Throne the title of Prince/Princess of Wales.

But in France, the heir was the Dauphin. In Austria and Russian, royal children were archdukes and archduchesses.

Dis, if you marry her, does that mean you'll become king of Congo or something?

Spec.

my mother is de domo Jastrzebska, which is an old ducal surname, a couple of voivods of Ruthenia came from that family. But while the region fits completely, it should be remembered in my case, that Jews often took surnames by the landowners that were protecting them... damn.

actually ive never heard this latter. IIUC most Jews didnt adopt formal surnames (as opposed to patronymics) till the state bureucratic systems decided to formally keep track of them, rather than acting through the Jewish community (which was quite developed in Poland, local councils represented in the Council of the Four Lands) So AFAIK no Jewish surnames in Poland till the late 18th/early19th century. Of course many surnames then adopted were based on local place names. I dont know if any would have been based on landowners surnames.

[Heresson]

During XIX century exactly they were forced to take surnames, so they took them after cities, regions or landowners.
But, also, there were frankists. When they converted, some nobles took the role of their god-fathers.

This thread had potential, had you not had "he" in place of "she" in the title.
