Australia= King of Britain?

Post by PainRack »

The BBC hosted a documentary that stated that the "real" monarch, is a 65, beer toting forklift driver who lives in Australia.

Well yeah, if you go purely by genetics I guess he'd be king. But Henry Tudor won the battle of Bosworth so I believe he'd qualify through right of conquest anyway.

If the King accepted the son as legitimate then from a legal standpoint he is the legitimate heir.

That being said from what I understand (I didn't watch the show) the reasoning is based upon hear say and the fact that the kid was born exactly 9 months after he was conceived and not 2.5 weeks either side of 9 months which could of easily happened.

Pressed submit too soon, that Australian wouldn't be the King of Britain only the King of England (the crowns would not have been unified if not using the line we followed with the supposedly illegitimate heir).

I believe there is some guy roving around the continent who has a claim to being the King of Scotland so maybe he would get a shot.

We won, I can't help you lost souls who likely think otherwise though.

It's like the Confeds, only they don't reenact the WotR. :P

Bugger for him that the Glorious Revolution and the settlement of 1688 renders his claim irrelivant.
