People who've seen Macbeth may remember the first witch telling Macbeth, "All Hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Glamis!" It's one of the most memorable scenes. [video=youtube;kEidcxBTu0E]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEidcxBTu0E[/video]
So who was the Thane of Glamis? Apparently there was only one, Sir
John Lyon (homonymous with the father of the Lyon sisters), who was given the title in 1372 before he married Johanna, the daughter of Robert II of Scotland, the first Stuart king. The thane's son was styled
Master of Glamis, and eventually the title became
Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. The Queen Mother (Queen Elizabeth II's mother) was born
Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon. Her father was the 14th and 1st Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. His last name would have been simply
Lyon, only John Lyon the 9th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne changed his last name to
Bowes in around 1767 to keep from becoming disinherited out of his father-in-law's will. The original John Lyon (1st Thane of Glamis)
was also known as The White Lyon, reminding me of Kimba.
The Earl of Strathmore and Kingborne is seated at Glamis Castle in Scotland. The estate of this castle is called
Strathmore. Anyway, I thought conceivably John Lyon's family could have been targeted by some sort of death cultist referencing Macbeth to make hokum. Or maybe the hokum was accidental but noticed by the perp later and referenced in later crimes. The sandals of
Terry Cornell, who was murdered in Syracuse, New York, on September 7, 1975, were mysteriously placed in separate locations along
Strathmore Drive.
