So if I say the name Ranald MacDonald, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Probably cheap hamburgers right? Well what if I told you that the chain of fast food restaurants is probably one of the least interesting things about the history of that surname? To many it is a proud reminder of their ancient lineage, to others it is a name of diplomacy and ties to the new world, and others still it is just a character on that Danny Davito show that went from fat to gay really quickly. But regardless of what it brings to mind, the name has a diverse and sometimes sordid history that dates back all the way to the late middle ages and today we are going to discuss what it means to be a Mcdonald and some of the lesser known Ronald Macdonalds, at least one of which I promise the fast food chain definitely does not want to be associated with.
