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.

Wow, Henry 1 was my 25th Great Grandfather as well, though through Eadgith his queen, making Malcomb king of Scots my 26th Great Grandfather as well as William the Conquerer my 26th Great Grandfather as well. Interesting to find another with close blood ties of 25th as well, it means you had long generations too as Henry I was 45 standard generations ago. Interestingly King Harold, William defeated, was also my 32nd Great Grandfather. King Charles III, current Kimg, is my 13th cousin once removed and here I am a poor farmer in America lol.

@JOHN----DOE 9 месяцев назад

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.

Everyone praising you but you made a major glaring mistake. William the Great was my 26th Great Grandfather, Henry I was my 25th Great Grandfather, and EADGITH (not Matilda who was their daughter my 24th Great Grandmother) was my 25th Great Grandmother separate from William's line making Malcomb my 26th Great Grandfather. I loved the show, but mistaking Matilda for Eadgith is pretty glaring. Matilda, My 24th Great Grandmother, was named after her Grandmother William's wife. Great production, but please watch fact checking, it is a major mistake for such an otherwise grand documentary.

Fascinating that the English Monarchy is based on the French nobility, and that the lands in England were just an add on to their main possession in France. 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. Welearna lotfrom History but not enough to really learn from History. The French plantagenants ran England quite well for decades.

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.
