#stuartdynasty

Nemo me impune lacessit... Nobody attacks me with impunity, the motto of the Royal Stewart dynasty of Scotland. Basically, the motto was "Scotland ain't nuthin' to fuck with." . . . #seal #shield #stewartdynasty #stuartdynasty #motto #latin #aintnuthintofuckwith #wutang #wutangclan #edinburgh #castle #edinburghcastle #lothian #scotland #uk #britain #greatbritain #europe #travel #traveller #viaje #viajero #kurtparadise (at Edinburgh Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnVxrzCnfpV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1snw09fp8tu6w

#Quaff #quaffing - another exquisitely appropriate word & pastime brought to us from the #hailandhearty #Stuartcourt of King James V of Scotland (1513-1542) Whose love of #oysters #sparklingwine & other quaffable cuisine knew no bounds. The word quaff & the sublime pleasure of quaffing hit London in a big way in 1603 (as did the term #chap which was a term of shopkeepers for a desirable customer) in what was known worldwide as the Joyous Year when King James VI of Scotland the son of #MaryQueenofScots was finally crowned #KingJamesI of England Ireland Wales & Scotland. His coronation was viewed across the kingdoms of the world as the “fulfilment of the #Arthurianlegends Le Morte d'Arthur And quaffable & non-quaffable gifts poured in from every Kingdom of the world to celebrate The end of the #Tudordynasty and the beginning of the #Stuartdynasty - since 1603 every Monarch of Britain has been a descendent of Mary Queen of Scots @katia_sergeeva @goat (at The Wolseley)
