I give up
I was trying to sort out how many times Thomas Nelson of Rowley descends from Henry III of England via his children Edward II King of England and Edmund "Crouchback". Wow there are too many lines to document, three genealogy programs I have can't do it and with the intermarriages it makes it ridiculously difficult to sort out. He descends from King Henry III something like 30+ times. This just has to be the line to beat all other lines. If it was just a line to the sister of Edward IV I would not be so quick to make that statement, but for three generations afterward we find direct descents from Edward I, II and III of England repeatedly. Dorothy Stapleton, wife of Thomas Nelson has more Royal Blood in her than King James I (son of Mary Queen of Scots) who was reigning in England (and Scotland) at the time of her birth in 1608.

Enjoyed your efforts! This is a most enjoyable lineage to share (I am via Capt. Philip Nelson). You posted a comment on my blog recently:

I was VERY excited to find your blog. Could you contact me offline @ kate.kokko at gmail.com? I'm looking for information on Thomas Nelson of Thorsby (b. 1581) and connections to Lord Nelson. My mother is a Nelson and I've not worked on her line until lately. Your help would be HUGELY appreciated! Thanks! ~Kate
