Rob Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 That's ok. A while back there was an Ethelred XII coin cunningly disguised as a Chas.1 shilling. Quote

Coinery Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 That J1 bust looks posthumous to me, a new variety!!!! Quote

scottishmoney Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 He relisted it as a James I coin, already up to 5.50. Dang I would have bought it at 99p for chits and giggles.When or if Prince Charles becomes the monarch he will be a III - which reminds me of the Carolus III coins from Spain that were overstamped with George III's portrait during Napoleonic times - "The head of a fool on the head of an ass" Quote

Apparently the Tudor usurpers got some rhyme going about "A Cat and a Rat ruled over by a Hog"! Quote

azda Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Recently watchers a programme presented by Tony Robinson that stated that Edward IV was actually illigitimate which in turn means that every Monarch after him should not have been on the throne Quote
Peter Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 The constipation makes my eyes water. I think a lot of the royals over the centuries would be prime for Jeremy Kyle and his DNA tests.They are also on benefits but just lack the tattoo's and piercings although Prince Albert did his bit. Quote
declanwmagee Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 The whole things a bit of a farce really. Even if we don't mention the current German imposters, the Normans only took the throne because they were better at fighting. Quote

But the Royal claim to trace their line back to Alfred is just laughable.The whole Richard III killing the Princes thing was a total posthumous frame-up anyway. 1) The Princes were LIVING in the Tower (a royal residence), not prisoners; 2) they were then declared illegitimate as Edward IV's marriage to Elizabeth Woodville was arguably not a legal marriage; 3) Richard didn't try to dispose of the many other offspring ahead of him in the line of succession, e.g. all of Edward's daughters, and his older brother George's children (it was actually Henrys VII and VIII who saw to that); 4) Henry VII passed an Act of Attainder against Richard accusing him of treason and all manner of barbarous acts, though strangely it doesn't even mention the two Princes; 5) Margaret Beaufort, Henry's mum, had far more reason to see off the two boys than Richard, who had been voted king by Parliament; 6) the rumours didn't start until after Richard's death, and no-one actually knows what happened to the Princes... and so the list goes on.

copper123 Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Well his son was called charles so it was fairly close Quote
