<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3470894, member: 19463&quot;]I suspect the man on the street had a handle on how to tell one king from other recent ones but I have no idea how you could study this given the absence of primary sources.&nbsp; We really could use some comic plays like we have for the Greeks to shed light on such things that would not make history books (which we don&#039;t have either).&nbsp; It is not at all unusual for a king to use a generic name rather than what his mother called him.&nbsp; Even the Romans seem to have referred to them as Caesar rather than the name on their coins. Without photos, we have to wonder how many people could pick out the king from a passport photo grade image (no crowns allowed). For that matter, even with TV and newspapers, how many US citizens could label our Presidents of the last hundred years correctly?&nbsp; How many could name them? </p><p><br /></p><p>Trivia:&nbsp; Which US President was at one time a King? (Hint: Leslie.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
