Royal Succession

[Plantagenet]

Someone in the Entrance Hall asked this question: how does MTW choose the next Famous King in your FK list from Default Heroes.txt?

For example, the English Kings are all in historical order (except for Richard II, who is missing) and have historical v&v. So if the first King, William II, has an heir named Henry who succeeds him, shouldn't he be Henry I from the FK list? He comes immediately after William II in the list, so shouldn't his stats, v&v, and portrait match those for Henry I in Default Heroes? If not, when will that Henry I appear, if ever?

Does anyone know how successors are chosen in relation to the FK list? Thanks in advance.
