Word of explanation: History is full of potential kings or queens who died before their accession and so the crown went to a younger sibling. What in your opinion are the most interesting ones to survive and do AHs about?

Here are some for England/Britain:

- William Adelin (son of Henry I, would have been William III) - killed in White Ship disaster - as see in Oth's timeline. OTL King superseded: Stephen

- Arthur Tudor - first son of Henry VII, would have become King Arthur I or perhaps II if he played on the Arthurian legend - died possibly of virus at age 16. OTL King superseded: Henry VIII

-Henry Frederick Stuart - son of James I, would have become Henry IX - died of typhoid at age 18. OTL King superseded: Charles I (With thanks to VoCSe)

-Frederick Louis Hanover - son of George II, would have become Frederick I - died of lung disease/being hit by cricket ball at age 44. OTL King superseded: George III
