These are the royal houses that have ruled the U.K. in its history:

House of Mercia (747-796)
House of Wessex (802-1016, 1042-1066)
House of Denmark (1016-1042)
House of Normandy (1066-1135)
House of Blois (1135-1154)
House of Angevin (1154-1216)
House of Plantagenet (1216-1399)
House of Lancaster (1399-1461)
House of York (1461-1485)
House of Tudor (1485-1603)
House of Stuart (1603-1649, 1660-1688, 1702-1714)
Commonwealth (1649-1659)
House of Hanover (1714-1901)
House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (1901-1910)
House of Windsor (1910-Present)

That took a lot longer to type out than I thought it would. Anyway, who’s the best ruling family in England history?

Definitely not the house of Hanover. They couldn’t even beat a group of drunken volunteers

IYAM Best is the wrong word to use, because they were all pretty shitty people. My vote for most influential would go to the Tudors. Henry founded a religion and Elizabeth Saved England from the Spaniards and presided over England's expansion in North America. You could also make a case for Normandy.

Well would you of rather them have different rulers? Either way, we were going to look at any rulers as bad people.

The last one.

I will never understand why the brits tolerate millions of their own tax dollars being used to prop up an overrated family of glorified welfare queens that does nothing but sit and look pretty all day. They should tell them to piss off and go get a real job.

Hell in America people get pissed the frick off over tax dollars being spent on the President and his family and the President is actually responsible for running and managing the country.

I mean think about the Tudors.

King Henry VIII, reasons be damned, his departure from the Catholic church is one of the most influential decisions in the Western world.

Then you have Bloody Mary

And then Elizabeth I who was in charge when the British smacked around the Spanish Armada and allowed Britain to stay out of Catholic hands.
