My brain, it hurts

Off work today - was up coughing half the night.  Why haven't they cured disease yet?

Anyway - following lizbee's post comparing the looks of Henry VIII and Prince William Julie asked me which of his children survived, so I went digging into Henry VIII - and was amused to discover that three of his four children became rulers of the country.  Is this a record?  Does it take a uniquely English fucked-up-ness to achieve this kind of thing?

with actually looking it up, and if you don't count reigning in the country of birth and only being married to the monarch, rather than being the monarch

how well did queen vic's kids do??

Her kids didn't rule themselves, for the most part, but married well. But all the current crowned heads of Europe bar the Dutch are descended from her.
