Beg pardon, I should more properly have said explicitly "the last Plantagenet king." I thought it was implied, but again I don't have your sense of garbled peerage.

Given that at the time quite a lot of people were falling out quite seriously over "our sense of garbled peerage", precision is pretty important.

*ahem* Let the representative from New Jersey take the floor...
