3. Almost, but not quite.

4. As John Ball said,

When Adam delved and Eve span,
Who was then the gentleman?

6. At what moment in time have you frozen "true royalty"?

And what was your reasoning for it?

8. Actually descent from Henry Vii mattered more after he took the throne

After defeating Richard IiI. The yorkist line in which he married into was secondary. Not that this matters now.

9. That - and after 1688

what Parliament said mattered most: there actually are bills passed by Parliament decreeing what the line of succession is.

Which is why I'm waiting for them to finally pass the bill that says I'm the rightful queen of England (the other parts of the UK can fend for themselves)

And Tony Robinson too!

I enjoyed those so much!
