What you say is true but if everytime we have a good king then is followed by a bad rulers than the work of king like Henry II, Henry V and Edward I of England and Edward III of England was always under mind by bad rulers. In the case of King John we can agree he was dealt a bad hand.

Sorry are you saying good kings are followed by bad kings all the time or?

John would have a lot better reign if he didn't have to deal with his idiotic, undiplomatic, self-grandiousing brother who got himself captured by pissing of virtually everyone in his general vicinity and having to deal with the chaos that ensued by the enormous ransom it took to free the gigantic prat who rather promptly got himself shot by some random person and died. Of course, having Philip Augustus breathing down his neck and dismembering the Angevin inheritance like a rapatious wolf (what a bonafide boss that man was) didn't help. And the Isabella of Agloumene disaster didn't help him. But he had a lot of bad things against him.

By looking at the English monarchy we seem to have bad luck when it comes to king but on the bright side we have never had Ivar the terrible.

Ehh I’d disagree, in the case or Edward ii yes we had a bad king, but really other than that we seem to have done alright.

I believe wethers a king is good or bad depends on what criteria we use for me it is weather he keeps good laws, prevents nobility from killing each other, and his ability to wage war successfully. Just thought of two other possible time lines is that Edward the confessor leaves a daughter or a son to rule England which could bless to a five way war between Harold Godwin, Tistic Godwin, harald hardrada, William the bastard and a supposed child of Edward the confessor lest call home athelstan II of England. The other ideas is that Stephan I of England dies with the wight ship leaving empress Matilda I of England it's first Queen and seeing how 20 years of peace effect England v rather than 20-years of anarchy.

Edward leaves a legitimate son, that son is the king of England, no war.

There could be developed ment where Edward the confessor son restore more power to the crown because of his power full vassils and there is still harald hardrada to contend with.

Was Henry III really that bad/incompetent? He always struck me as the sort of dude who managed to semi stabilize a shit show, then the shit show struck back?
He definitely left a rich enough realm for his son to
A) Conquer Wales.
B) Semi subdue Scotland
C) Crusade
D) Make war on France for a short time.
