An American man who claims to be the rightful King of England is demanding his throne

According to The Independent, a man called Allan V. Evans from Wheat Ridge, Colorado, attempted to claim 400 acres of land in Twiggs county in 2012, claiming that his ancestors had lived there. He said his evidence was destroyed in a fire at the county courthouse in 1901.

A serial fantasist perhaps.

The royal line is not straightforward anyway, it depended on who had the biggest support/army and mad himself the 'rightful' king. There was one king's son in early periods who was a '*******'. While the king was away fighting in France the queen had an affair with a common royal bowman. The resulting child eventually became king of England.
 
Sorry Yank, but a large migration of Saxons, Jutes, Angles and Danes and other Northmen followed by a successful invasion by some francofied Northmen mean you have absolutely no claim the throne of England what so ever so **** off.

The Angelcynn are not Britons (thank God!!! ;))
 
Apparently my family line has a claim to most of Manhattan, great-uncle or something spent a bit of time looking into it. Hardly going to go anywhere is it though.
 
Evans is the descendant of Cunedda Wledig, the founder of the Kingdom of Wales

Not exactly...

Cunedda was a tribal leader and did marry the daughter of the ruler of York... but he was subordinate to the High King of the Britons, Vortigern, and nowhere near anything even remotely resembling the King of England. His whole lineage, at best, ruled a small area of North Wales about the size of a county and were repeatedly kicked in by just about anyone who invaded and raided this land. The lineage of Cunedda dies out around 1719, from the looks of it... so much for the unbroken line!

Just because Daddy was a ruler of some dirty little piece of mud, that doesn't mean you get everything handed you on a gold platter. If he wants to be King of England, then he must do it the way everyone did it back in the days of the ancestor by whom he claims entitlement - Get an army together, invade and take it by force. Even the Tudors had the stones to manage that!

In short - "Come an' 'ave a go if ya fink yer 'ard enuff"!!
 
It wasn't until the 1500s that Welsh nobility took control of England in a precursor to the formation of the UK. At best this dude has clam to northwest Wales/Anglesea, at worst he has claim to the square root of nothing.

Americans are funny about this sort of thing, it's definitely worth chasing up.
 
Ha, not an Aussie! It's just what I was told by an aussie fling.

Never knew it wasn't even Australian though! :)
