How Many Kings Called Henry ?

[mikey4444]

In an idle half hour this afternoon, I was playing with a " Who wants to be a Millionaire" quiz game on my new iPhone 6, and I had the question " How many kings called Henry has England had" There have, of course been 9 but that was marked wrong by the app !

So...should I complain to the apps owners, and risk being called a smarty-pants, or should I just fume in silence ?

It was on Qi recently and indeed there were 9!

Henry 9, what were his dates?

Know the feeling; a Trivial Pursuit question once asked me what role Long John Silver had on board ship. I answered, correctly, 'Ship's cook' - the answer on the card was 'Captain'. My protests almost broke up the dinner-party! Don't know what you can do. I wrote to the manufacturer but never got a reply, so I suppose I'd say 'complain'. Good luck! :)

Google Henry the Young King.

[mikey4444]

Sandy...that is just the problem....Henry the Young King was made so by his Dad Henry 2nd, as a kind-of junior or assistant king ( 1170 - 1183 )

But because he died before his Dad, he was never given a regnal number.

So I suppose he could be termed Henry 2 and a half !

[mikey4444]

Well, Stuey.... we had Henry Cooper, which nearly counts I suppose !

Thankd Jackdaw - now I understand.

Yes, complain to the App owners using your new iphone 6.

This is interesting :::::

"Henry the Young King died, aged 28, in the summer of 1183, during the course of a campaign in the Limousin against his father and his brother Richard"

But

"After his death, his father is said to have exclaimed: "He cost me much, but I wish he had lived to cost me more."

There were two Henry IVs: Henry IV part 1 and Henry IV part 2

[Jackdaw33]

...and three Henry VIs, parts one, two and three.
