In Dorothy Dunnett's novel King Hereafter Lulach (who represents the voice of confused history) refers to Abbot Crinan as banqueris, in reference to his tax-collecting and coining. This is presumably meant to suggest Banquo. While I'm not sold on the idea of Crinan as Banquo, is there any evidence for the theory that it was a title, meaning "banker", rather than a name?

I don't know anything about Dunnett's novel or the theory to which you're refering, but the name sounds really close to the French for banker (banquier). Maybe it's a dual reference to his profession and to Banquo? Sorry to speculate on a text with which I'm not familiar :). Ştefan 07:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
