This isn't really an answer to your question - more thinking out loud, which may jog someone else's memory ....
First thoughts:
William II & Henry I were brothers. One succeeded the other.
Richard I & John were brothers - ditto
Edward IV was succeeded (after v short reign of his son, Ed V) by his brother Richard III
Edward VI was succeeded by his sister Mary I
Edward VIII was succeeded by his brother George VI
I don't see how Henry II fits into this theory.
Second thoughts:
They all had nicknames:
William II - Rufus
Henry I - Beauclerk
Henry II - Curtmantle
Richard I - Coeur de Lion / Lionheart
John - Lackland
Edward I - Longshanks
