You’re related to my husband’s family. Not sure the degree of kinship but his mom is descended from Edmund Plantagenet who was a brother of Edward I.

The only thing keeping him from the throne is my inability to choose a tiara.

Have you ever seen this article on the real King of England?

The Real King of England: Mile the First Dies in Obscurity in Australia

Several years ago I watched a program that had aired on British TV. It was hosted by Tony Robinson (Black Adder series). It was about the possibility that Edward IV may have been illegitimate, and not rightful King. Here's a link to the full show on YouTube:

Britain's Real Monarch with Tony Robinson

It's pretty interesting.

I also found this article from 2014 regarding a break in Richard III's male DNA line:
