So today I found out a few important things. They are of such grave import that I must tell everyone about them. First off, there is still a Black Knight. Yes, the noble of both fear and mockery does truely exist. They are currently onto the 29th incarnation of the Knight of Glin, Sir Desmond FitzGerald who was born in 1937. The other piece of important news is that despite his years and his wife he has yet to produce a son, having had three daughters. At this point in his life he is very unlikely, without the assistance of science, to produce a male heir who will carry on the title of Knight. By the way, the line and position has never been refered to as "Sir Desmond" when in the presence of other nobility. The current Knight of Glin has always been called Knight. Seems rather amazing to me. Anyways, that is the news I found out. I worry for the line of the Black Knight. The White Knight line became extinct and it seems this one will too. Le-sigh
