Dude....Someone needs to do some genealogy and determine given which male relative was cuckolded who should be the proper monarch of the United Kingdom. The current residents of Buckingham might need to be sent packing. Although ultimately it is Parliament who determines the monarch; see the 1701 Act of Succession.

Richard III was defeated in battle and overthrown. No relative of his has any right to the thrown. You’d have a better chance restoring the monarchy in France.

Dumbest idea I’ve heard.
Garbage story and probably garbage science.

I will hesitantly and uneasily come forward and claim the crown and the hundreds of billions of pounds that go with it.

BO is, already, King, so, give him to the U.K. Let the U.S. elect Ted Cruz to become the next POTUS!

John of Gaunt had a mistress, Katherine deRoet, from whom the Beauforts descended. (Katherine’s sister, Phillipa, was married, unhappily, to Geoffry Chaucer) Katherine was John’s mistress through two marriages and they married after the second wife’s death. The Church of England eventually gave full privileges to Katherine and John’s bastard children, the Beauforts, from whom the line has descended. (”Katherine” by Anya Seaton, is an entertaining novel covering the whole period)

Current British royal family is entirely German, from House of Hanover and Battenberg. No relation to House of York or Lancaster.

The current line is Hanoverian (George I) mixed with Saxe Coburg (Albert) and Danish (Phillip). There is no Tudor or Plantagenet blood lines there

so now the question:
In the painting below, the king is wearing a jeweled gold piece that seems too large to be called a necklace. it fits over his shoulders and drapes over his chest. What is it called?
I have been watching the the series the Tudors and all the males in Henry VIII's court wear one. Some are more elaborate and some lack jewels.

Interesting, considering in those days cuckolding the King was considered treason, punishable by a traitors death.
