the history of England/Great Britain/United Kingdom is full of great almost dynastic crisis, the ones i like are the ones were you need to go way back in the family tree to get an heir, or there are a lot people that could be heirs, and i love a good personal union in there :D

my top hits

James I ship wrecks going to Denmark to get married, he dies no kids, in 1603 when Elizabeth dies the crown goes to Anne Stanley, or maybe to Arbella Stuart who knows

second, no Sophia of Hanover, some how she dies, and has no heirs, thus when Queen Anne dies, there is no one left in the whole Stewart line thats not Catholic, so the heirs are, Catholic James Francis Edward Stuart, the illegitimate son of King James II, Charles FitzRoy, or the heir to Scotland Anne Hamilton and the Heir to England, Margaret Brydges

3rd George III's kids don't have kids, this almost happened in OTL so it's not that out there, which on leads to a UK-Hanover-Brunswick-Württemberg personal union

the George line
George III
George IV
William IV
Augustus I
Mary III
William V
Charles III
William VI

what are your thoughts on these dynastic crisis, and any others you like :)
