Hey, am I the only one here with any Royal lineage?

Dalcassian
To be a Dalcassian means that you are descendant from the first true ’Ard Ri’ (High King) of all Ireland. The O'Briens are of the clan of Dal gCais (Dalcassian).
O'Briens are named in a direct line from King Brian Boru (which line still exists in the present Lord Inchiquin of Dromoland who could, arguably, be called the legitimate King of Ireland). The Inchiquin Tomb houses the bodies of King Turlough O'Brien who died in 1306, Murrough who died in 1551 and the later Barons of Inchiquin. In 1460 Bishop Donnchadha O'Brien of Killaloe (now the cathedral town of Clare) was killed here by Brian O'Brien. The O'Brien name will be forever linked with the town of Killaloe because it was there that Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, had his palace.

As one who is descended from a long line of ancient Irish kings, it comes as no surprise to know that my full name, Roderick, means famous ruler.
Now those of you with long memories and who are familiar with imperial measurement will know that a Rod is a unit of length, namely 5.5 yards. Thus Rod, while still being a ruler, is now much less famous.
Incidentally the equivalent name in Japanese is pronounced feeli, which, under the right circumstances could also be an apt description

Dont look like it Dalcassian.Maybe you and Rod are related?

Oh yes. One is sure where One come from.

CONOR MYLES JOHN O’BRIEN
The O’Brien, Prince of Thomond, Chief of the Dalcassian Clan, the 18th Baron Inchiquin, 10th Baronet of Leamaneh.
Conor Myles John O’Brien born in Surrey, England on 17th July 1943, the son of the youngest son of 15th Baron Inchiquin, The Hon. Fionn Myles O’Brien who married Josephine Bembaron in 1939. He became Chief and Peer on the death of his uncle Phaedrig, the 17th Baron on 20th May 1982. He lives on Dromoland Estate in Thomond House, which is next to Dromoland Castle. Dromoland Castle was the home of the O’Briens until 1962, when Bernard McDonough turned it into a luxury 5 star hotel, in 1963.

Not too sure about Rodrick though, I think he is from the branch we don't talk about!
