Heir and the Spare
If my father's side of our family possessed the royal blood, I would be 4th in line to the throne, same as Richard III was. My grandfather would be the current king. The successor to him would be my father, then his eldest son (my oldest brother), then his second oldest son, and then I would be in line for the throne. After me is my younger brother. Next in line after him would be my aunt's (my father's sister) sons (my cousins). While my family follows the somewhat simple royal succession, Richard III's differed from mine because his older brother, the heir, had sons, and therefore elongated Richard's turn for the throne. That could happen to myself when any of my older brother have kids in the future.

Being fourth in line is also similar to being John of Gaunt. If your son came back to challenge the throne of your oldest brother, you'd be in the same boat as he was!
