The new king of England will reign as King Charles III – a moniker he once reportedly considered rejecting to avoid links to the bloody and turbulent history of his two royal namesakes.
His majesty considered being called George VII to honor his grandfather — a beloved royal figure — and to avoid Charles, a name considered “jinxed” in some royal circles, The London Times reported in 2005.
His “Charles” predecessors ruled over some of the bloodiest periods in UK history. King Charles I led the country into a civil war — and remains the only English monarch to be executed.

Sir Walter Scott is credited with inventing the phrase bar sinister, which has become a metonymic term for bastardy.And I though Bar Sinister was the last name of Simon, the enemy of Sweet Poly Purebred in Underdog. Who knew?

It was already announced that he chose to be King Charles III. He now gets to deal with a female PM who stated she won’t have any white males in her cabinet. Perhaps Chuck might have a word with her about that idea...

But Charles II did go after the ones who executed his father.I'm liking Charles II the more I learn about him. The Reavers and plantation owners east of hell or Connaught never got what they deserved.

There have been two "Prince Arthurs" who were next in line for the throne. Neither of them lived to take the crown.
No more princes were named Arthur until Victoria named her third son Arthur.
Either she was not superstitious or she figured as third in line he was not going to inherit in any case.

that would have been an interesting conversation w Charles II
oh that thing with your father? dont worry about that
its all good
come on home
very weird time
they execute the king
become a republic
then decide they want to be a monarch again
has that ever happened anywhere else?
france was similar but napoleon took it by force
he was not invited to take over

He should just call himself, “the king formerly known as prince.” You win the internet, the whole internet, for the day.
