"Queens are not kings"? That is incredibly lame.

Also, your little snotty bonuses for "Henry VI" when I was trying to type "Henry VII" and, especially, William I when I was trying to type "William III" are not appreciated.

And once again a history lesson is required. There has been no king, or indeed queen of ENGLAND since the Union of the Crowns in 1603 when Elizabeth I of England was succeeded by James VI of Scotland. Got it? Finally?

@johnlk Guess what? You are snotty, incredibly lame, and not appreciated. @Reensie And once again a history lesson is required. There were seven kings, and indeed queens of ENGLAND since the Union of the Crowns in 1603 when Elizabeth I of England was succeeded by James VI of Scotland until the formation of Great Britain in 1707. Got it? Finally?

Mashplum is right, up until Queen Anne the Monarchs of Scotland and England where Monarchs of each realm respectively!

@ Pierce123 Thanks. You I like. I would also like to point out that I never said "Kings of England" just "English Kings."

I think the comments are quite good, actually. @johnlk You had already gone through three Henries, what are you complaining about? Anyway, it was necessary for the bonus of Henry VI, because he came to the throne twice, once after his father (Henry V) and once after his rival, Edward IV.
