80% of England's Population gone =(

And therefore a good chunk of chit-chat =(
"Some experts estimate that 80 percent of England's present population descends from Edward III.
A slight twist of fate could have prevented the existence of all of them. In 1312 the close adviser and probable lover of Edward II, Piers Gaveston, was murdered by a group of barons frustrated with their king's ineffectual rule. The next year the beleaguered king produced the son who became Edward III."

So Edward the Third is the father of your country?

I don't think any of this is really accurate. I mean when they say you're the descendent of George, it could really mean you're the descendent of his cousin.

Because of all the inbreeding?
