Royal Family

Edward III is famous as a military leader. It was during his reign that the English had the greatest control over French territory. He had both the kings of Scotland and France as captives, and made England a great power of its time. He was in command at the Battle of Crécy, and was reigning at the time of the Battle of Poitiers, both of which were important English victories.

Three.

Since the last two became tyrants and came to bad ends, the name is considered unlucky for royal princes and, like John, has been avoided.

Margaret, Maid of Norway died of very bad sea sickness and dehydration. She was travelling to get married to Prince Edward II of England, at 7 years old!

Prince Phillip is great nephew of Tsarina Alexandra, wife of Czar Nicholas II and Grand Duchess of Russia. Prince Phillip's maternal grandmother Victoria (not Queen Victoria) and Tsarina Alexandra were sisters. Prince Phillip is also related to the Russian Grand Duchess because she was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Phillip is the great great grandson of Queen Victoria. When the grave of the Czar's family was unearthed and examined in 1991, it was Prince Phillip's DNA that was used and found to be an exact match in determining that the remains were those of the Russian Royal family.

she was a Lady Maid for both Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn

Yes he did! It has made him so famous that they actually made a movie about it. See 'The Kings Speech'

Since Thutmose III was too young to assume the throne unaided, Hatshepsut served as his regent. Initially, Hatshepsut bore this role traditionally until, for reasons that are unclear, she claimed the role of pharaoh. Technically, Hatshepsut did not 'usurp' the crown, as Thutmose the III was never deposed and was considered co-ruler throughout her life, but it is clear that Hatshepsut was the principal ruler in power. He was her nephew.

There was a rumor that she partially a man (also that she has been taught sex tricks in china) but most historians dispute the theory because she was treated for infertility.

Alfonso XIII of Spain was declared king when he was born. His father, Alfonso XII of Spain, died 6 months before his son was born. Of course his mother Maria Christina of Austria was appointed regent during his minority. In 1902, on attaining his 16th year, the King assumed control of the state.

This sounds like a reference to the supposed Royal connection to the Whitechapel Murders and Jack the Ripper.

According to this theory, Prince Albert Victor (elder son of the Prince of Wales) had fathered an illegitimate daughter by a Roman Catholic shopgirl, and the murders were meant to silence the blackmailers who threatened to reveal the story.

//Prince Victor Edward Albert, Duke of Clarence, and the grandson of Queen Victoria, died an untimely death on January 14, 1892, long before the Ripper murders stopped. He was unmarried I believe and left no children, legitimate or otherwise. Of the murders that occured in 1888, the Prince was not even in London for three of them.

one reason is that she burnt them in the hope that it would persuade the other protestants to become catholic again.

The Stuart dynasty. It was founded by Elizabeth I's successor, James VI of Scotland in 1603.

He had one legitimate son by his queen, Anne Neville, Edward of Middleham, but he died suddenly in 1484.

He also has at least two acknowledged illegtimate children: John of Gloucester and a girl called Katherine.

Jeanne Bieggers Correctiom/ampliification: My older brother and I attended high school with Jeannie (as everyone knew her then) during the early 1940s. That was Ponce de Leon High School in Coral Gables, Florida. Her last name was Biegger with no "s". As I recall her graduatng class was the one between my brother's and mine, but I'm not certain she stayed until graduation. Jeannie was, to say the least, precocious. As you probably know she married Dean Martin. Martin and Jerry Lewis used to spend winters in Miami (Coral Gables is a Miami suburb) so I suppose she met him when he was visiting town; i.e., she didn't go to New York looking for him. She and Martin had a son--possibly named Dean, Junior--who became a military fighter pilot, either in the Air Force or the Air National Guard in some Western state. Sadly, he was killed in a crash in muntainous country while flying in duty status. Jeannie was a very nice and affable girl. I was sort of the class toad, besides being a year younger than my classmates and Jeannie was as friendly to me on campus and off as she would have been to the best-looking quarterback in the state.

A lady in waiting was a companion and helper to a lady. The lady in waiting was a member of the nobility, but waited on or assisted a more important, usually older, lady.

It is not true that he was deformed. This was made up during the Tudor reign as propaganda. A scan of a picture of him with a humpback was shown that the hump and the deformities were painted on at a much later date.

He was a slim man with dark hair.

According to VH1 it is an estimated 10 billion net worth.

Actually they are substantially wealthier than this, probably in the trillions.

You have to realise that they descend from the Guelphs who were massively rich in the 14th century and that they are major shareholders in the Bank of England which makes tens of billions a year alone.

Also they own a huge amount of property in the UK as well as a lot of America unbelievably.

It's possible to research the above as well as other ties they have.

In London, with her sister Princess Elizabeth and the King and Queen. Princess Margaret was kept with her sister, Princess Elizabeth, at Windsor Castle for much of the war.

You pronounce it like 'Philip Ookey' silent a in the word.

Two of King George V's first cousins were Tsar Nicholas of Russia and Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. Kaiser Wilhelm was the grandson of Queen Victoria, so was King George. Tsar Nicholas was the grandson of King Christian IX of Denmark, so was King George. So, the Kaiser and the Tsar were related to King George, but the Tsar was not as closely related to the Kaiser.

To become Queen of any country, one is either married or is born into the royal household. Elizabeth II of United Kingdom is an example of being born into the monarchy. Queen Elizabeth II's mother and father did not have any sons so the line of succession fell to her. When Elizabeth's father died without male heirs, Elizabeth succeeded the throne. If you are married to the King, then you become the Queen. But since this lady is not born into the royal household, this lady has no power. Her function is to produce heirs to the throne. The respect is to the bloodline, not to the ruling function. That's why there is a Queen Mother. She has no ruling function, she's the mum of the King or Queen who was born into the royal household.
