Was he the best English king?

Was he the best English king?

There can be only one.

Your picture is a welsh guy though.

Offa of Mercia ftw

Better than his son.

Most monarchs are better than Henry VIII.

That's not Henry V.

His only fault was having Henry VI as a son

Richard III.

That's not Edward Longshanks.

Edward I, Edward III or Henry V. Alfred the Great was also pretty good.

Or, as they say in Ireland, Richard the Turd.

ITT: wrong answers

Yes. He dragged England into the modern era. There would have been no Empire without him.

Why does everyone here say longshanks was the best, was it because he killed a bunch of scots?

Louis VIII the Lion

Are you kidding me?

He started England's isolationist period, in which the country fell behind the rest of Europe. England wouldn't be relevant on the european stage until the 17th century.

The only good English king was a Dutch one

Good taste famalam, but why no love for Henry IV?

>Tudor
Not even once

Fantastic post my Northern Irish friend.

He wasn't even the best Tudor.
