Been thinking about Sarah’s history of English royalty since William t he Conquerer. Let me know if I left anything important out:
Succession crisis -> civil war.
Civil war resolved, negotiated succession.
Descendant of negotiated successor pisses everyone off -> civil war.
Descendant forced to accept terms.
Stability for a bit while they’re busy fighting other people.
Succession crisis -> civil war.
Civil war resolved violently.
Succession crisis (religion). Civil war narrowly averted.
Dynasty goes extinct. Succession negotiated.
Descendant of negotiated successor pisses everyone off -> civil war.
Civil war resolved through decapitation.
Succession crisis. Civil war averted via negotiated succession.
Succession crisis -> civil war fizzles
Dynasty goes extinct (yes, Charlie, it did. Shut up)
Parliament is finally utterly fucking sick of this lot starting civil wars, installs German puppets. The end.
