Where are the Plantagenet family heirs?

Answer 1

Tony Robinson did a program on the Plantagenet family.He traced it to Australia where a family where believed to be the heirs to the Plantagenet name, and should be our monachOf course we can spell, we have even received an education and know how to research family trees. My family can trace their lineage directly back to Elizabeth 1 (Plantagenet) Princess of England, daughter of Edward 1, granddaughter of Henry 1, great granddaughter of John 1 - the line goes on and on to Geoffrey V (said to be the first named as Plantagenet due to his personal liking for wearing a sprig of broom plant in his hat). Thankfully my direct lineage is through a woman, as the males seemed to meet untimely or unusual deaths.

how could these people possibly take the throne? they can't spell.

If you trace Queen Elizabeth's family tree, you will find that she can trace her bloodline back to the Plantagenets, back to John of Ghent, one of the younger sons of Edward III.

Many people can trace their lineage back to the Plantagenet kings. Most American presidents can trace their families back to King John. I'm assuming that you are wondering about the branch of the family who actually ruled.

In the end there were three sons, Edward IV, George of Clarence and Richard III. Edward's sons found to be illegitimate in the act of Titilus Regis, then disappeared shortly after his death and though they are presumed to have been killed for political reasons, the truth is we really don't know what happened to them.

The last Plantagenet king, Richard III, had one son, but he predeceased his father and died without issue.

George of Clarence was survived by one son Edward who died without issue in 1499. Edward's sister, Margaret Pole, was beheaded by Henry VIII.
