	You have forgotten Henry II's second son, Henry the Young King, who was heir from 1156 to 1183, and is certainly more important than his brother who died as an infant.

	And surely the Old Pretender lived more than long enough. He never reigned because his line was displaced, not because he died young. You might also add William, Duke of Gloucester, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Albert Victor, none of whom was ever heir apparent, but all of whom would have reigned had they survived.

	I've added Henry the Young King and changed the title of the quiz so it better includes the Old Pretender

	Might want to add Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy, who was the eldest son of William the Conqueror, but was only given Normandy as his inheritance.

	How about Henry I's son William Adelin who drowned 1120 leading to Stephen and Matilda's anarchy?

	@carbon_rod I didn't add Robert, because it was my understanding that William had always planned to give Normandy to Robert and England to William. @Cortex added

	Matilda is just as of an answer for Henry I as William Adelin.

	I stuck with teh Sporcle procedure that Matilda (and Jane Grey) were monarchs. I know there is some debate about the fact, but the majority of Sporcle quizzes on the British monarchy accept that Matilda did rule (even if just for a very short period of time)
