 
Sir Lancenotalot McRobbo
( ‘The Portly Knight’ ) b. 1021 d. 1063

Sat at King Arthur’s Round Table but was so
overweight that he never actually stood up.
Wooed by good Queen Guinevere one night
he behaved in an impeccable & chivalrous
manner by burping apologetically, rearranging
his mace and lance, made his excuses and
retired to the stables to sleep with his horse
instead. Set the standards for generations
of male Robbos who followed.
Lady Henrietta McRobbo of McRobbo
b. 1666 d. 1699
The 17th Century Duchess was prone to sprouting
inordinate amounts of unwanted body hair and was
considered spectacularly ugly even by the low
standards previously set by the Robbo Clan. Died
eventually from a rather severe rash attributed to
over-brushing and she was used as the stuffing for
a rather nice chaise-longue still in use in the
conservatory at Robbo Towers to this day. However,
like all Robbo women, past and present, she is in
dire need of a good reupholstering.
ROBBO FACT
The Robbo Clan crest (motto: ‘Wha’ are
ye lookin’ at, ye big Jessie?’) was withdrawn in 1926 after The Royal College of Arms
& Insignia declared it to be obscene and offensive to both old age pensioners and
household pets.
Attempts since then to create a new Clan Crest have been thwarted by the fact that the colour cartridge on the clan’s Epson printer has run out and have you
seen how much PC World want for a new one? Outrageous!
