Robert Monteith of Salmonet

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Robert_Monteith_of_Salmonet an entity of type: Thing

Robert Monteith of Salmonet (1603–1660) was a colourful character who abandoned his role as a Presbyterian minister in the Church of Scotland to join the Roman Catholic Church where he rose to be a Canon in Notre Dame de Paris, France. He claimed descent from the Menteiths or Monteiths of Stirlingshire where his family had held a property at the small hamlet of Salmonet. However this was not an official aristocratic title nor were the family lairds of the land. This story was further corrupted by historians saying that his father was a salmon fisher (using nets) west of Alloa. rdf:langString
