Henry VIII's not a bad historical figure to bring up, in any case (though he was marrying partially to secure a male heir, which Charles has no problem with). His children (Edward, Mary and Elizabeth) also went up against each other -- to a point anyway (my history's a bit fuzzy, but Mary was Catholic and Elizabeth Protestant, so definite conflict there). But, that was after he was dead, too. What a lot people (including myself) find horrible about Charles, I think, is that he treats his children like pawns and doesn't care if they die or not -- he seems to actively encourage his kids to fight each other. I definitely would not want a dad like that.
