Trivia, or background information (as you wish

Interestingly, Robert Graves (I, Claudius) is known in Germany as Robert von Ranke-Graves, as his mother was a "von Ranke" and, presumably, the publishers probably thought his books would sell better if they mentioned the 'von' connection
It has now been very "watered down".
I know several 'von ....' here, but all of them tend to leave it off when introducing themselves and only use it for signing official documents, as "officialdom" insists.
