Geoffrey II, Duke of Brittany (1158-1186): If he'd outlived older brother Richard, there would have been no question of him becoming King after Richard's death, thereby preventing John's line from taking the throne.
Thanks! I had put it as the second because I thought maybe they might count King Arthur, since his legend was so admired, but you're probably right, they'd probably just stick to the numbers that began with the Conqueror. :)

Oh no! Anne! *frets* Hopefully the royal physicians are able to save her! *crosses fingers*
Of course, the moment someone says "poison", Henry is going to be utterly furious. Someone *glares at Buckingham* just tried to murder his queen and unborn child, and it was bad luck alone on the...
Oh this TL is absolutely fascinating! Watching Marie march to the beat of her own drum and doing things her way has been so much fun! Crossing my fingers that she has a boy. Though I don't think Henry would completely flip out if they had another girl, since the marriage's legitimacy isn't tied...

*snickers* Ah, that's funny. The Scots may think their king is a pain in their collective asses and want to repeatedly punch him in the face, but they're not about to take some Irish brat killing him. That's their job, their right, and no one else's. LOL
Don't see that happening, since Katheryn is Henry's own grandchild. ;) Henry's more the likely coming to fight to uphold his granddaughter's claims as the rightful Queen of England against the "foreign meddler" Queen Catherine. Gotta remember this isn't the lecher Henry VIII of the OTL. By this...
