So I was at my parent's for my Dad's birthday, and our neighbors were with us, when the dad of the family started talking about how they'd been doing some research on their family history. You see, they're originally from Palestine, and they've noticed that their physical traits were never really matching with the olive-colored skin of the other locals. They discovered that their family name traces back to French Crusaders that were in the Holy Land thousands of years ago that settled there.
So, yeah, my neighbors are descendants of knights. How awesome is that?!
I walked into this thread hoping you had neighbors who did LARP or something.
I'm sorely disappointed. :saddowns:

No dude, they're the real deal. Their ancestors were really Crusaders.
That's far more impressive then kids in aluminum foil yelling "lightning bolt!"

Yeah that's your opinion. Imagine how huge his mana pool has to be to shoot that many lightning bolts! That's far more impressive than "Yarr I'm gonna kill you with this sword"...

Yeah, that kid's a higher level than you!
A friend of my dads is actually knighted, he's pretty cool.
Thus, more legit than your neighbours/LARPers :smug:
They aren't a part of a company called [sp]Abstergo Industries[/sp], are they?

God dammit, I was hoping your neighbors lived in a castle and practiced Jostling.

How does that even remotely qualify as a spoiler.
OT: That's fairly interesting that they can trace back their family that far.

Yeah, it doesn't have enough rape.
Thread disappoints me and I expected talk about people who carry in this very century swords 24/7.

Also how the fuck could you put SCIENCE as the icon for this thread.
So your neighbour's relatives decided alil bit of the ole's pillage and rape wouldn't do any harm eh?
the way family trees work, just about everyone is somewhat related to someone of either clergy, noble, or royalty.
it doesn't make you a knight, a priest, or a king.

No your neighbors are the descendants of crusaders. That word was applied to anyone fighting in the crusades. The bulk of which were poorly equipped peasants whom fought only because the pope put out the call.
Given that they chose to settle in the region during a time where knights were still given fiefdoms, I would go so far as to say it actually makes them even less likely to have been knights. Why settle somewhere in the desert when you are the lord of a place back home?
EDIT: HOW AM I THE FIRST TO POINT THIS OUT!?
my great grandpa was in the Filipino basketball team

Make a thread about it. I'd rather discuss your amazing great grandfather than OP's neighbors.
