Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein and King of Bohemia, was the fictional king in A Scandal In Bohemia. While the details of his reign, becoming first a duke and then being crowned king, were plausable for Bohemian kings, the actual king at that time was Francis Joseph who was also at the same time Austrian Emperor and King of Hungary. Bohemia was a region in what is now the Czech Republic.
The cabinet photograph that the King of Bohemia originally wanted Sherlock Holmes to recover remained with Irene Norton nee Adler; however, Holmes, Watson, and the king found a substitute photo in its hiding place, which Holmes kept, and there was a letter addressed to Holmes.
Holmes deduces that his visitor is the King of Bohemia based on several clues: first, the visitor's regal demeanor and attire suggest a person of high status. Second, he recognizes the man's striking resemblance to portraits of the King. Third, the visitor's concern about a scandal involving a woman indicates royal interests. Finally, the King's distinctive accent and mannerisms further confirm his identity, as Holmes is well-versed in the traits of nobility.
