None of which alters the fact William invaded England.


There was another Stuart who was a first cousin (once removed) who had a stronger claim to the English throne; (Mary, Queen of Scots) who landed in England, and I presume you know how that sad decision ended.

Did you mean a 1? I have 1 of those too, did I do something wrong?

No, but I thought the point of this topic was to identify British monarchs who had no hereditary claim? Sorry for trying to remain on topic...
