Great job they did when Yugoslavia fell apart.

Rubbish. Egbert to Ethelred is seven generations of the same family. The Angevins had six. Later on there's the Hanoverians - four consecutive Georges and a William who are all linked by being sons/brothers of preceding monarchs. Name one US president who a) took over from his father and b) took over because of who his father was.
