Can anyone see a connection between...

William I, Richard I, James II, Henry II and George I.

[sft42]

Aye...they were all kings.

Hi sft42......I think I am looking for something more involved than that...I have checked dates, birth death and coronation. I have checked mother and father names, birth and death places, nicknames any other ideas?? :~))

[incitatus]

william, henry, richard and james were all buried in france, george in hanover. so maybe its not buried in britain despite being king of it?

[sft42]

Sorry I was trying to be funny and it missed the mark.........how about they were all men then?

[slimjim]

sft42 beat me to the sarcastic answer that I had planned! But were they not the first kings of houses? William I the first of the Normans, Henry II the first of the plantagenets, George I the first Hanoverians, etc.

[incitatus]

but richard I was henry's son

[incitatus]

and james ii was the 4th stuart

[darth vader]

they all had numbers for middle names. Isn't this one where the king wasn't actually christened the same name which he decided to take on coronation?

[incitatus]

no it isnt. henry, richard and william all were christend as such. I think James was too. George changed, I think because the hanoverians traditionally had stupid foreign sounding names like adolphus, which wouldnt have gone down well

Some suggestions... they were all born outside Britain.... they are all buried/died outside Britain... they were not married when crowned...
