      @@user-jt2ft2ii3g What are you talking about? Of course there is one line of Plantangenets that exists through the line of the Dukes of Beaufort. Also a large majority of people descend from them, myself included through Henry II's daughter Eleanor of England, Queen of Castile. Henry's majority descendants are through his daughters though.

      The Tudors pale in comparison to the Plantagenets. They are one of the greatest and most interesting dynasties in the history of Europe. I believe they belong in the same class of dynasty as the Habsburgs and the Bourbons.

      It’s also ridiculous that the discussed history of England up to the civil war period of the 17th c. is almost totally dominated by two monarchs, Henry viii and his daughter Elizabeth 1st Although both are obviously extremely important there are many other rulers and people of great influence that are barely ever mentioned. This excellent series puts history into a more accurate perspective.

    Not many people know that
    Sibling rivalry led to many internal wars.
    The falling out seems a common feature in the Monarchy to this day.

    As a ruler, Henry established internal peace and a lot of judicial and monetary institutions necessary to successful government. What's "cruel" about imprisoning his brother--most rulers have swiftly executed any claimants as aggressive as Robert. And Henry can hardly be blamed for the accident of a sinking ship. He pretty much did all he could in a very, very brutal and unstable situation.

      This is inaccurate statement, that is repeated often. How George l succeeded after the death of Queen Anne to the throne of the UK was through his mother, Sophia, Electress of Hanover, who was the grand-daughter of James l (James Vl of Scotland). So, it was the matrilineal line that he succeeded to the throne. So, he had as much English blood in him as he had Germanic blood. The Windsor line is connected to the Stuarts and the Tudors. With the present Prince William, he has Stuart lineage through his mother as well as his father.
