  5. 22:08 actually the head of the Catholic church is not officially called the pope. The head Coptic orthodox church is officially called the pope so in actual fact the head of the Coptic orthodox church is the only pope. So the rhetorical question of is the pope a Catholic is not accurate. According to QI.

  10. 0:51 in the astronomical calendar there is a year 0. 0 corresponds with 1BC. the year before is -1.

  11. 18:21 the difference is 1151 years. That is assuming 215 years for the exodus in the Septuagint and 430 years for the Masoretic. The Septuagint also adds 3 years to the reigns of the monarchs of Judah (9 if you take the overlaps and interregnums of Judah and Israel literally). So it is actually either 1154 or 1160 years.

  12. To be honest I only really know about ouroboros because of an episode of red dwarf

  13.  @alcachofa6863  Osterlind had an older brother Friedrich (1931-2000) so it would have actually passed to him in 1965 after that it would actually pass to his son Johann Frederick Alexandra Zu Wied (b.1960) his heirs would be his nephews Maximilian (b.1999) and Friedrich (b.2001)

  15.  @alcachofa6863  Margherita died in 2022 so it would be Maria Beatrice now

  16. I like the idea that in an alternative universe Johann Frederick Alexandra Zu Wied is king and the Jacobite claim is Maria Beatrice

  17. Maybe the lord protector after Oliver Cromwell could be Bridget rather than Richard

  18.  @alcachofa6863  even if it was not James II being Catholic influencing the act someone else would have influenced it. Probably one Charles's (Sophia's brother) descendants.

  19. I like the idea that the reason it passes to Sophia is because she gets it by conquest from Bridget Cromwell.

  20.  @alcachofa6863  actually if you just used absolute primogeniture from Henry VII James I/VI would still have become king anyway. Although he would have been James II of England. After Henry VII it would pass to his daughter Margaret then it would pass to her son James V (who would be James I of England in that reality) then it would pass to his daughter Mary Queen of Scots then her son James I/VI. it would go Henry VII (1485-1509) Margaret (1509-1541) James I (1541-1542) Mary (1542-1587) James II (1587-1625)

  23. You should do a video on the seleucid genealogy

  24. You can get -4173 (4174BC) if you take the overlapping and interregnums of the reigns of the monarchs of Judah and Israel in the bible literally. By that I mean in the bible it says in the Nth year of the reign of (monarch) of Judah/Israel (monarch) became the (monarch) of Israel/Judah.

  30. Absolute progeniture from George III: Friederike Von Der Osten. Absolute progeniture from Sophia of Hanover: Johan Frederick Alexander Zu Wied (that goes through William I and II of Wuttenberg). Absolute progeniture from Henry VII: Maria Beatrice.
    2
  31. A female preference primogeniture succession from Henry VII would lead to Maria Beatrice as well. It goes through James I/VI and Sophia of Hanover.

  32. You should do a genealogy on the high kings of Ireland

  33. 2:53 mash is a sitcom. It has anachronistic humour.

  34. There are about 5753 in line According to the 2011 succession list. That list includes the non protestants though who would actually be omitted. There could be more or less now since people have been born and people have died since then. The last one is Karin Vogel. Omitting the non protestants she would be about 4972nd or 4973rd in line (according to wikidata).
