Talk:Alternative successions to the English and British Crown

message: Shouldn't there be something about the heirs of King Stephen? After all, he fought a civil war against Matilda in order to retain the throne for his heirs, and of course that didn't work. But it certainly might have, who knows? But Stephen was officially King was some time, so I don't see why we shouldn't put a list of his heirs general. There is already one, on his talk page that can be copied.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.99.126.230 (talk) 08:18, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Stephen's heirs 

message: This article omits the main claim for the Yorks. Titulus Regius, which officially recognized that Edward IV was already legally married at the time of his "marriage" to Elizabeth Woodville. As such, any children born to Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville were illegitimate, and had no claim whatsoever to the throne. (Which also, incidentally, means Richard III had no reason to want either of his bastard nephews dead, as they posed no threat at all to him.)Richard III recognized his nephew Warwick as his heir. At the death of Richard III Warwick became the Head of the House of York, and its rightful claimant to the throne  -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.89.10.156 (talk) 15:58, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Yorkist Claim 

message: Similar to the Yorkist claim, this article omits the Lancastrian claim. The claim is that according to the will of Edward III, in the line of succession, John of Gaunt was before Philippa, the daughter of Lionel of Antwerp. Danishjaveed (talk) 17:54, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

There appear to be many errors about this, starting with Margaret Pole: she survived both her brother and her son, both of them italicized while she is not.  Do I misunderstand something? —Tamfang (talk) 17:00, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

message: I would like to add this paragraph to "Descendants of George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence" for further context: "However, the current Earls of Huntingdon descend from Sir Edward Hastings (1541–1603?), the fourth son of Francis Hastings, 2nd Earl of Huntingdon and Catherine Pole after the male line of their third son, George Hastings, 4th Earl of Huntingdon (1540 – 3 December 1604) died out with Francis Hastings, 10th Earl of Huntingdon. If a purely "male-preference primogeniture" line of succession were chosen, and the line of succession was determined or elected to be through Hans Francis Hastings, 12th Earl of Huntingdon (1779–1828) rather than Elizabeth Rawdon, 16th Baroness Botreaux (1731–1808), then the current heir would be William Hastings-Bass, 17th Earl of Huntingdon (b. 1948)." I decided to move discussion to the Talk page for more users to vote on this edit due a dispute with User:DrKay over whether or not this paragraph should be included.
I personally believe that further context should be added to this section due possible errors and confusion over the research presented in Britain's Real Monarch (2004), which is the main citation for the section currently. As it stands, there are also many issues with using Britain's Real Monarch alone as a source or citation, without additional academic sources or citations. In addition to this, there are also factors not mentioned in the section "Descendants of George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence" that deserve addressing, including the current line cited by Britain's Real Monarch being Roman Catholic, even though current Acts of Parliament have decreed that a Roman Catholic may not succeed to the throne. The section should be expanded with more context, including more academic sources and citations, as I feel that the section is currently lacking. I also feel that the context about the Earls of Huntingdon and male-line vs. female-line succession is important. Obversa (talk) 19:15, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Drive-by comment: Obversa, the article has to be restored to its last stable version from the 18th of March per WP:STATUSQUO or the disputed content needs to be tagged. When your edits are reverted you cannot reinsert the info and then ask for consensus. Tagging the other party so they can provide their input, @DrKay. Keivan.fTalk 19:46, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
