The line I am from can only be definitively traced back to John Gater, born in about 1599 and baptized in England to no known parents, where he traveled to Virginia and had a son named John Gaither (spelling change that has stuck around ever since). My specific line almost ended when one ancestor only had one child and died at age 28 where my branch continues from. I might be mistaken, but I also think that ancestor was the only male child to have male children, meaning his father's line almost died with him.

Came back to watch this again today, for obvious reasons.

A sombre update: Elizabeth 2 reigned 7 years longer than Queen Victoria making it over the 70 years finish line. A very impressive achievement! She left the crown to Charles 3, the oldest king to ascend to the throne. From there on, the crown will continue to William, the Prince of Wales, to his son George.

Edward was more complicated and many think that his rumored Nazi sympathies had as much to do with the establishment pressuring him to abdicate as his marriage. It's perfectly understandable for a king to also be a fascist, but to favor foreign fascists over the local crop is to much. Also Harry is down in the succession these days and keeping the rules about divorce would also bar his father.

Same with "Queen of England", it makes no sense to identify a specific place, rather than simply naming the country she is queen of, which is the United Kingdom. She is indeed queen of a bunch of non-UK places, but she is resident in the UK, hence "Queen of the United Kingdom" Everyone calls her "Queen of the United Kingdom," except Americans who opt for "Queen of England." It just sounds really bizarre and unnatural.

Back then it was all about the male, it didn't matter if Henry the 8th was divorced it only mattered if the person he was marrying was divorced.

Henry 8: splitter of churches and ladies. Genuinely unsure as to why the heralds of his day didn’t introduce him as so to the subjects.

The KZread algorithm always serve the best videos at the right time.

7:45 So marrying a divorcee is not ok, for the head of a church that was founded because a king wanted to divorce his wife?

Well, no, because he wanted to annul his marriage. That is declare it invalid, and thus as if it didn't happen. This was actually fairly common; only 50 years earlier, Richard III declared his late brothers marriage invalid. Henry himself actually annulled all of his marriages besides Jane Seymour and Catherine Parr.

Annulment is actually a totally different thing from divorce, not just from a religious point of view, but legal as well. For example, divorcée can ask for divorce settlement, but an annulled one can’t, because there’s no marriage to begin with in the eye of law.

Because all of the royal sons had no legit children at the time of William, he and Edward and all of their brothers got married really late in life. It was sort of a mad scramble. Before that, it was pretty straightforward that Princess Charlotte would have become Queen Charlotte, except she died in childbirth and took her baby with her. Her husband, Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, lost out on a chance to be King or Prince Consort of England due to her death, but wound up being elected King of the Belgians instead. Sort of a consolation prize. And Leopold's sister Victoria was Queen Victoria's mum.

@Hotsam Noirchards -- Yeah but you see, Hotsam...... you're wrong. And that is why the Electoral College is complicated. You wrote whoever gets the most votes becomes president. Not true. The winner is whomever gets a MAJORITY of electoral votes -- currently 270. However, you could have situations where 3 or more candidates get electoral votes -- with none of them achieving a majority (as has happened on a few occasions). Also, 2 candidates could tie, with each getting 269 electoral votes. (This has never happened.) In both cases, the election is thrown into the new House of Representatives who determine the new president through a vote of the 50 states voting as a bloc (each state getting 1 vote only). This has happened twice. So as you see, in extreme circumstances, it is not at all simple.

There is also different custom many family will have.
