The Right Honourable
''The Right Honourable'' ( abbreviation: ''Rt Hon.'' or variations) is an honorific style traditionally applied to certain persons and collective bodies in the United Kingdom, the former British Empire and the Commonwealth of Nations. The term is predominantly used today as a style associated with the holding of certain senior public offices in the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and to a lesser extent, Australia. ''Right'' in this context is an adverb meaning 'very' or 'fully'. Grammatically, ''The Right Honourable'' is an adjectival phrase which gives information about a person. As such, it is not considered correct to apply it in direct address, nor to use it on its own as a title in place of a name; but rather it is used in the third person along with a name or noun to be modified. ''Right'' may be abbreviated to ''Rt'', and ''Honourable'' to ''Hon.'', or both. ''The'' is sometimes dropped in written abbreviated form, but is always pronounced. Countries with common or ...

Clan Rose
Clan Rose (''Clann Ròs'') is a Scottish clan of the Scottish Highlands. History Origins of the clan The chiefs of the Clan Rose were a Norman family. They had no connection to the ancient Celtic family of Clan Ross. They derive from Ros, near Caen in Normandy and accompanied the early Norman kings to England.

Elizabeth de Bisset's family owned the lands of Kilravock and she married Andrew de Bosco. Their daughter was Marie, who in around 1290 married Hugo de Ros, whose lands were at Geddes. Hugh's (Hugo's) father had been a witness to the foundation charter of Beauly Priory, which was erected by Sir John Bisset of Lovat. Hugh and Marie established th ...
