The Worst Monarch in English history

[Pstotto]

... I think it's Queen Elizabeth 2nd. She's presided over the most disasterous period of our country.

[tim_noone]

My glass is half full..

[Commy]

Also the longest, so of course bad times are going to occur.

[Rowls]

Anyone who doesn't vote for King John is a traitor to the crown and probably a secret Yorkist.

English civil war kills 12% of the population. Yeah but that Liz is a b1tch. Get some perspective you clown.

[CombatClaret]

Maybe Pstotto is just fishing, it could so easily be argued Liz has presided over the greatest period of our country. Income equality, standard of living, education, infant mortality, life expectancy, healthcare, etc etc etc.

UTC need proving once again to be the home of Declinism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declinism)

Got to be that Harold Godwinson...He allowed them bloody frogs to rule over us

It's OK for us what can trace ourselves back to our Norman ancestors.

My family can.

In fact, Great Uncle Norman's very much still with us.

Herrr herrrr herrrrr.

[Vegas Claret]

[Dazzler]

I'm proud to be of Saxon(Paternal)-Viking(Maternal) blood..traced!

No frog in me...

[tim_noone]

They're actually not bad.

[ElectroClaret]

Henry the Sixth.

By a very long chalk.

[Dazzler]

Henry II gave them frogspawns what for...He's my favourite

[Vegas Claret]

They're actually not bad.

they might not exist in 48 hrs unfortunately

[Buxtonclaret]

Joint award, for me.
Bloody Mary Tudor, whose burning ambition to rid the country of Protestant's, at the behest of her outrageous hubby, the zealot, Phil, was pretty hideous.
And the poker addict, Ed 11, who was totally useless.

[Dazzler]

Aye Mary so contrary..And to think she had ships named in honour of her good deeds.

[GordonvaleClaret]

You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait 'til Charlie Boy sits on the throne. Probably get it draped in claret & blue though!

[Dazzler]

Charles will be another george lll.....just talk to the trees and go mad

[dermotdermot]

Come on, it has to be Henry Vlll. An absolute psycho.

[Flat Stanley]

Richard the Lionheart. Starved the country to death to fund his silly religious crusades!

[FactualFrank]

Ivan ‘the Terrible’.

[Claret&Green]

You're all too recent,
Had to be Boudicca......although she fought well. Eventually lost too The Bloomin Italians

[bfcjg]

Henry the eighth. Destroyed amazing buildings slaughtered people for religious views if they didn't agree with his brand new religion and all because he couldn't keep his cock in check.

[cutsy123]

I say get rid of the royals

They bring zero.to the table

[Im_not_Robbie_Blake]

Kevin the third - instantly forgotten.

[Rumbletonk]

That's that then

Stephen
John
Richard II
Henry VI
Charles I


They're just off the top of my head..... she's well behind them! I'd probably put a fair few more there before I even considered Elizabeth II.

[Pstotto]

Kevin Hird????? I admit posters, to a bit of fishing but I disagree with combatclaret about population decline as being a bad thing. The bubonic plague took out millions and yet afterwards were good times. Jobs for all and cheap housing. That's one of the reasons I voted for QE2 as the worst. She's alienated the country from the indigenous folk. Immigration and commercial TV have done this country.

Henry the Eigth released us from the tyranny of religious belief to create the most benign and user-friendly faith on Earth, so I like him. Good attitude to women too, knew what to do and that's keep them in their place. They had ideas above their station since QE2 and look at the result. Every other shop is now a nail parlour.

[BurnleyPaul]

Pstotto- bit unfair to decry Elizabeth II as worst monarch when she's a ceremonial figurehead.

All the names I have were, to one extent or another, absolutist monarchs who actually wielded power in their own name.

[Pstotto]

I wonder what Henry the Eighth would have to say about that.

[HatfieldClaret]

I wonder what Henry the Eighth would have to say about that.

"Off with his head" ?

[IanMcL]

The list is very, very long.

Saw this thread title and did think it was about the airline.

[RingoMcCartney]

King Kenny.

Hated him at Liverpool, then went on to manage Blackburn.

Off with his head.
