Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

I'm taking a wild stab here. Catherine of Aragon is the sister, daughter of Ferdinand II of Spain is her claim to royalty outside the British throne. She was Henry VIII's first wife and bore him no male children. If memory serves me correctly this marriage also places her family ties in with those of Scotland. She had only one brother, Juan. The mother's name was Queen Isabella of Castille, wife to Ferdinand II of Spain.sigpic

Though she was not Scottish nor born in Britain her ancestors reunited different claimants to a throne via marriage. What was his Mothers name?
From 1066 to 1499 the line had nearly 30 monarchs.

I filed a patent in Canada in 1925, in the US in 1926 and 28 for an idea I had. A German had the same idea in 1934, but no one would see our vision until 1947. The modern world is built on my ideal. Who am I, and what was my idea?

Many things...

To make mistakes is human. To blame someone else for your mistake, is strategic.
