35:06 There is an Emperor of France and two or three Kings of France.

Napoleon III has a descendant. You have descendants of Lewis Philip, you had heirs to the previously deposed Charles X, and those recognising him to exclusion of the Lewis Philip line are importing a cousin of the King of Spain, who according to a treaty should be excluded from France, but then again he descends from Lewis XIV, the descendant of Lewis Philip, like Lewis Philip himself, descends from Lewis XIII through Lewis XIV's younger brother. There is also a rumour of a man descending from the Nauendorff claimant, who claimed to be Lewis XVII. There have been genetic studies in order to make verifications, and when I followed the track, these were in fact somewhat suspicious to me. Someone had checked if the Nauendorff descendant's mitochondriae matched the mitochondriae of some princess of Romania same female lineage as Marie Antoinette, mother of Lewis XVII, but Nauendorff is supposed to be his paternal line ancestor and was anyway a male, so the guy couldn't inherit his mitochondriae anyway.

It would be interesting to dig up (and reverently rebury) Nauendorff to see if his mitochondriae match Marie Antoinette or this Romanian princess.

So, for a monarchic restoration of France, there are multiple competing hypotheses.

Answering the point about Jesus "couldn't have been the younger brother" ...

1) Joe Heschmeyer argued against the "Joseph's first wife" hypothesis, saying they were really children of some relative, who would have been brothers in the sense of "next in line for levirate" should Jesus die childless. And in that case they could have been younger lines without being younger siblings to Jesus.
2) Suppose they were in fact children of Joseph's first wife, it could be she was not Davidic, or perhaps not even of Jewish origin, which could have made them illegitimate, it could be that someone had made sure they had made themselves illegitimate. Or simply explicit non-claimants. Which would imply the kingship devolved to Jesus.

36:08 Joe Heschmeyer argued, no, technically Jesus definitely wasn't born out of wedlock, since the betrothal was actually the first part of a Jewish wedding.
