I don't see how refusing to give asylum to his daughter and her husband helped the inheritance problem -- if anything happened to Prince Charles, Elizabeth would *still* become his heir and her husband King of England, whether they were in the country or not. Unless he was hoping that someone would conveniently kill Poor Frederick off for him if given maximum opportunity?
