The Stuarts, who, thanks to Henry VII marrying his daughter to a Scottish prince, had a legitimate claim to the English throne. What a time.

Then, a King comes back, a Catholic king holds office when a Catholic can't and parliament sends an invitation to a Dutch prince to come over and rule England.
