I have trouble keeping track of the monarchs since William and Mary as, with the rise of Parliament, all the intrigue has gone out of the post. Yeah, there was the abdication, but it was really more an indication of how worthless the job of king is. I couldn't see a king with real power abdicating. My slip was that I know that Charles II wasn't king of Scotland. Don't know how I messed that one up. --Jeff |
