The eighth de Brus

Answering this got me curious about the use of ‘The’ as an honourific. I discovered that the most famous Robert was the eighth and that the honourific was the result of linguistic transition from French ‘de’ to English ‘the’. There’s a deep irony in the origin of ‘the’ in his name being an anglicisation!
Thanks David, never thought about it that way but it make sense…
Thanks mate, you know your stuff and are correct once again…
I have a friend who lays claim to ‘ ”The’ status but let’s give Google some credit too.
absolutely David, he has good taste.
Excellent quiz
Thanks a million..
My pleasure
