I recall those from looking up monarchies a few years ago.
Here is the foremost authority of Monarchs and their families in Europe. http://www.almanachdegotha.org/id12.html
The French and German monarchies are both older than the English one. England was like 7 different kingdoms when they were formed.
French aren't even close as they came long after the Papacy. Germany wasn't even a country till 1870.
Check it out for yourself from the most revered book on Monarchies.
Almanach de Gotha : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almanach_de_Gotha
The French monarchy was established by the frankish tribes in like 500ad. (Yes after the pope) The German monarchy "the emporor" was established like 800ad. Both of them switched dynasties but the monarchies were there and in place long before England was a political entity. Yes the French monarchy was undone and redone and undone again and the holy Roman empire was replaced by the German empire but the borders and nations are pretty much the same. The English on the other hand kicked the vikings out and formed England in 927ad. And they also switched dynasties several times since. So I guess it's just a matter of how you define a monarchy. Which is basically inconsistent. When the parthian empire was replaced by the sassanians, all that happened was the dynasty changed. But in Rome when the dynasty changed it was still the Roman empire. Just dumb semantics.
Since the throne of England claims to be the throne of David ... moved to Ireland by Jeremiyah with the daughter of Zadakyah ... later moved to Scotland and still later moved to England, and to be given to the "rightful heir" at the "return of Messiah, ... I think you at least have that backwards.
The king of Babylon removed the proper lineage from the throne of David, Yeconyah, and put in Zedekyah.
