But when discussing about dynasties, it is the male line which matters (my goodness, it seems Charles is posting ) at least until the XX century. And JC’s male line is superior, in terms of royalty, to VE’s and QF’s.
I guess there's no arguments there. Bourbons definitely top Battenbergs and Hanoverians in that department and VE was spot on in quoting the number of kings in JC's male line. There were indeed 17 of them dating all the way back to Hugh Capet. She knew her genealogy and would have given Charles a run for his money if she had been a poster in these forums!
