English history is a messy tangle of Henrys, Edwards, Georges, Williams, Richards, Jameses and Charleses.
Even worse in France. King has a male heir? Louis it is.
Everyone coming here today after the queen's death, and saying this needs an update, obviously didn't watch the last 10 seconds of the video. I think CGP Grey was planning ahead ;)
Yeah, he's got it covered. Maybe a footnote at most, but honestly everyone knows about the Queen by now so they can figure it out

Looking at the royal family tree laid out like this, it's really surprising how SHORT it is.
You'd think that Wiliam the Conqueror was really ancient, but there were literally only 28 generations separating him from Queen Elizabeth II...
Well, a generation is average 25 years, and can be shorter. So it makes sense. But I get your point. The olden days aren't as old as we think they are.
Yeah ONLY 28 generations 😂

Queen Anne did have a son but he died at the age of eleven. Most of her pregnancies ended in stillbirths. There was some type of medical problem that could easily be treated these days.

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.

edgy
*at least
Yeah being the middle child I can relate
Rly
Miles Weckerle yeah can relate. It is liberating tho, since no one gives a sht about what you do
i cant imagine how cool would it be to know your family history stretching back almost 1000 years
Yes! We know about 450 yrs!
Well, one might say everyone's family history goes back to the first human creatures on earth in history 🤔🤷♂️😂
Here in Brazil, if we know our family history history in 100 years, is already too much hahaha I only know till my great grandmother (cuz she was alive till last year)
Yeah but they also have to live with the fact that their relatives were marrying and beheading each other
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.
This was such an entertaining and informative video! I really appreciate the humour you added to the brief history of the Royal Family. Great job!

Princess Margaret : wait..
King Edward VIII : _WAITTTT!_
I am currently re-watching The Crown in anticipation of season 3, and I had this very same thought. That thought got me wondering how different the world would be had Edward been allowed to marry Wallis and remain king.
Probably that means UK will either be neutral or help the fascists in the UK for example Oswald Mosley or maybe join the axis powers to fight USSR
David Renton edward like other mens lives and him and wallis only stayed together because they became this famous couple, he was not worthy of the throne his brother cared more about duty.
Meh harry and his wife don’t matter they wont be king and queen so they queen let harry marry who ever. Kate middleton on the other hand seems like she was made in a lab to be the perfect queen. The day her and William become king and queen it will be glorious.
Samantha Christensen It’s thought, he didn’t abdicate just because he wanted to marry an American divorcee but also because he was a Nazi sympathiser, so the UK under his rule might have been on a very different side of history.

Do you know the full story on that? Because I know I do.
@HOI4Player1000 in his defense, she was.
asdf asdf
apparantly she was extremely beautiful, but when she met him he tricked her by dressing up as a commoner and seeing if she'd still love him even though he wasn't royal (which was an english fairytale or some shit), but since she was german she didn't know the fairytale (because it was an english one, so she had never heard of it) and slapped him. which fucked up their relationship from the beginning. he also called her a horse, and i would imagine that saying that to someone would mess up your relationship. then, there was the fact that she didn't follow many english royal rules. because she was german.
he only used her being ugly as an excuse because he couldnt get it up (:
tl;dr (ew reddit): she was pretty, henry was just a cunt
Henry Ii had 4 children:
-Henry the Young
-Richard the Lionheart
-King John
-Jeff

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.
@@FakeSchrodingersCat that family is German
@@maggiemae7749 Depends on how you look at it. Yes a lot of their ancestors were German but Edward was 6th Generation of his family born in Britain.

@Eli Wilson But it sounds silly to narrow it down to such a specific place. Why not call her" Queen of London", or" Queen of Hertfordshire"? 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.

rdpk I just finished watching The Tudors yesterday. I tried so hard throughout the entire series to understand because I've recently just became fixated with all of the England history, but I couldn't. I didn't understand what was happening to England with the wars, the fights between religion, Henry VIII making a new religion, etc. All I understood was the different wives since that's what made me want to watch it 🤦🏻♀️ Now I'm trying to actually understand the religion factor and I feel stupid because I could've watched this all along. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

George, George, George, George, Will, Victoria
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.
Holy shit it's womble
Continuation:
In 2018, another son of William was born: Louis. Two years later, Harry, his wife and his son leaves the Royal Family (*sped up* Because apparently it's a thing that they can do) *back to normal* and in September 8, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II finally dies, breaking the hearts of the British and memers that made "immortal" memes, making Charles the new King of the United Kingdom.

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.

@@alexander9703 potAYto, potAHto!
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.
Don't you know marrying a devorsee is like commenting adultry. Once your married for he/she is a husband/wife for life. If he/she ask for divorce for he/she for ever she shall be unmarried and those who breaks the law is sinning

Funnlily enough- she's STILL about 4 years away from breaking the record set by Louis XIV for "longest reign over a major European country" and 14 away from the title of "Longest verified reign of any monarch in history" however she is longest reigning female ruler of any nation in history- a distinction previously held by Eleanor of Aquitaine for nearly 800 years who was also partly responsible for Henry the Younger's rebellion against Henry II
@@q345ify yeah but his "reign" started when he was 2 years old so he had a regent for the first 8 years and didn't actually start ruling until his minister died ten years after that, so you can kind of take 18 years off Louis XIV's reign.

That's nothing compared to the French Louis and Spanish Alfonsos.
@@micahphilson ikr
@@idkwhy_0779 There are 19 Louis but if you added the mervonigian king its 23 Louis because Louis came from Clovis
Clovis>Lovis>Louis
What about German Henrys

"not every child matters" ouch😂😂😂😂😂
The truth hurts sometimes 🤣
cypher12 kim Yeah pretty much. 😕
Depend on the family.
Blugale Doh I'd say it depends on the child..
Probably. But I will probably say the family as a whole since family tend to project their "image" to the offspring especially the parent. They have a certain expectation that come for the child, not meeting such expectation probably lead to them having little interest or disdained for the child. There is also different custom many family will have.

It's easier to understand how the Electoral College works when a presidential tie is made than the Royal Family's history.
ok
Well, it actually is because the guidelines are clearer, and the Constitution is very hard to amend.
You know something is wrong when it is easier to understand american election laws than the original subject.
@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.

"Scotland exists." -CGP Grey, 2015
It might be weird... but apparently I accidentally spell "Scotland" as "SCONEland"
...yeah, I think I'm hungry ._.
Wait, what???!!!
*mind blown*
Sadly (i can say that cos im scottish)
R.I.P. Demoman
the video starts with the wrong line of kings since the english line died out in 1603, king james the scottish king takes over all crowns and invents the united kingdom and his line rules ever since.
so he should start with the scottish line of kings which is also way older than the english line
“Now this is the point where we acknowledge: Scotland Exists”
Damn Grey your playing with fire there
Well as a Brit' of Scot's stock; they really weren't all that relevant to this topic *until* the *1603 Union of the Crown's* , which was almost also the UK's birth date ... but the English Parliament said no.
(by 1707 they'd come around to it; and the last Stuart monarch [ever] accomplished what James I had originally wanted)
*AND THAT IS THE BREIF HISTORY OF ROYAL FAMILY WELL SAID*
Best, most concise video I have found! Thank you!
“The crown went to Queen Anne who also didn’t produce any heirs, though not from lack of effort.”
Me: “HEYOOO!”
“She was pregnant 17 times.”
Me: “HEY... Oh, jeez.”
One survived until 11 years old. Medical practices were not as up to date as they are today.
Yeah. Medics back then were a step ahead of voodoo witch-doctors but three steps behind of current medicine.

Rest In Peace Queen Elizabeth. Your presence in our culture will never be forgotten.
Crazy to think the queen dead now
Fun fact: the birth of Queen Elizabeth II predates the invention of bread slicers by two years.
She comes from the pre-sliced white bread era.
GAPS NO SLICED BREAD???
