Great article on this chap. Apparently, he claims a PhD in "metaphysics" as well as being an ordained minister (online no doubt) and a judge in Scotland (of his baronial court?).

He definitely appears to be of the Busch dynasty but equally be seems prone to...embellishment, shall we say?

Cheers.

Interesting read. Question: is any of it true?

Some of it appears to be. Some is obviously self delusion.

He is registered with the Scots barony register.

http://www.baronyregistry.com/I.htm

However, I don't see Greenan allocated to his son as he indicated. Seems to me I remember some discussion of legal issues about that barony and the self described "Earl of Stirling". Google it for more background.

Cheers.

It should be noted that The (private) Scottish Baronage Registry linked to above is NOT The (private) Scottish Barony Register presently headed by Alistair Rennie, a lawyer and a former Deputy Keeper in the Registers of Scotland, entry into which is used by The Lord Lyon as being appropriate and acceptable proof of the ownership of a dignity of baron. That said, the gentleman who is subject to this discussion purchased his own Scottish dignity prior to The Abolition of Feudal Tenure Act so it is probable that sufficient proof was the acceptance of an entry in the official Scottish Register of Sasines.

Oh, my! I had no idea there were two different "registries." Is the Lyon approved format viewable online? If so, where?

Pardons for my misunderstanding! I sincerely appreciate you setting me on the right path.

Cheers.

PS. I never doubted his claim to Inneryne. That appears to have been vetted many times to the affirmative here and elsewhere.

My eyebrows did raise a bit at his claim to (what was it in the article?) 40 Scots titles??? Even for an heir to the Busch fortune, that seems a bit excessive. Seemed to corroborate my suspicions raised around his claim to be a priest/minister/pastor - a well flogged First Ammendment internet loophole in The United States. I don't see anything but about formal seminary or serving a church/cathedral in any sort of fashion. Coupled with his previous (and apparently admitted) misrepresentation of prior degrees earned, this is a red herring.

What mystifies me is why someone with such a distinguished pedigree (and the presumed sheckles to match) should require this sort of hollow self engrandisment?

If mistaken, I humbly retract my statements. There's just an awful lot of "smoke" in this room. Perhaps there is a "fire" to match?

Cheers.

Broken home is a good foundation for selfesteem issues and the urge to seem more than one is. And the admitted penchant for shortcuts is probably further evidence.
Old families the World over tend to ever so slightly snobbish and it often a tad difficult for a younger member of less than ideal origin and upbringing to find acceptance. Being not really part but still enjoying the perks then messes up the selfview during younger years and beyond. So the scion then looks for approval elsewhere - and nobility is something those old aristocrats dont have. Ergo...

Plus, with/without the above, success and money/power can also have an effect on the id; and usually "it's not pretty".
