as nothing will be achieved.
What if the princes in the Tower had not disappeared
What if Richard III had won in stead of loosing
What if Henry VIII had had a legitimate son who grew up to adulthood
marriage and children?
I am sure many can think of more of such questions. The trouble is that
"What if" did not happen, and if it had those "different kings/Queens" of
England would have married different spouses and their descendancy would
have been different, the whole history of England would have been different.
What if is a fun game, but such a waste of time when it is done on this
scale. They could have asked a different question----like can you trace your
ancestry to (whatever). Cleverly they talk about taking "your heritage" to
Edward the Confessor (and others). They could not ask "Are you descended
fromn Edward the Confessor" as he had no children. But what is the heritage
(in 2007) that could be taken back to Edward the Confessor?

That was obviously a typo, as he is correctly spelled further down the
page. Admittedly, if they are truly concerned with the accuracy of
ancestry, they should have caught the typo.

I see on the BBC news today that English Heritage are looking for the
alternate claimant to the English throne.
If you want to apply for the position take a look at English Heritage's
website at http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/serv ... /nav.10807
The references to "Edgar Aetherling" do not inspire confidence...
