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?
