As for the Kings of Alba, they had names like Constantine, linking them back to Byzantium and the
Komnene Emperors as well. So this is where the Leslies came from. By the 1300s, the Leslies had
married into the royal Stewart house. In about 1370, Sir George Leslie married the granddaughter of
King Robert II Stewart, also linking them to the Hayes, Keiths, Grays, Bruces, Setons, and Sinclairs.
By the 1350s the Leslies were already linked to Rothes, both by name and location. John Leslie of
Rothes was born in 1318.
Strangely, we aren't told what Rothes was named for, though it is spelled Rathais in Gaelic. This tells
us that Roth doesn't indicate “red” and never did. Even Wikipedia tells us it more likely indicates
“wood” or “fame”. But if we spell it with an “a” like the Gaels, we have an even better idea where it
came from. The word ratha in Sanskrit means “hero”, so that seems to link us to the “fame”
translation. And since Sanskrit and Hebrew are linked, we can feel ourselves getting closer. Rath is a
Hebrew name, see Meshullan Rath, a famous rabbi from the early 1900s. Also Ernst vom Rath, a
German Nazi diplomat allegedly assassinated in Paris by a Jewish teenager in 1938, leading to
Kristallnacht. This was of course faked, since Rath was Jewish himself. And, not coincidentally, vom
Rath was from Frankfurt, same place the Rothschilds were from. This tells us to look up rath instead
of rot, where we find it means “wise person”. All this makes sense, and feels more right at a glance
than the “red shield” nonsense.
