There are two very different ways the suffixes are added to a person's name.
For an average person, the numbers II, III, IV and so on are most frequently added behind the name of a son who has the identical full name as his father. The first male with the name usually is considered "I". His son of the same name is "II". The son's son will have a "III. And so on down the line of sons until a generation is skipped where there is no one of the same name. If the name comes back into the family later, the numbering, if needed, would start all over again.
The second way has do with whether or not you are royalty. Kings, dukes, and earls don't have to have the numbers based on father to son relationships.
Kings, dukes, and earls have almost always been known, and continue to be known by their titles in combination with their first names. This necessitates the use of a numbering system to identify one royal and/or noble from another of the same name.
For example, England's King Henry I and King Henry II were father and son. Then came Henry II's son, King John. King John was so hated that it was agreed the name "King John" would never be used again and it was forever retired from use. Alas, King John had a son named John who became king. He changed his name to Henry and became King Henry III, even though he wasn't Henry II's son.
This rule does not have an impact on numbering for kings of the same name in multiple countries. France, England and Germany all had a cluster of King Henrys at about the same time, some with the same numbers behind their names. This is unbelievably confusing when writers don't clarify that they're talking about the French, English, or German king of that name--especially if you're involved in history or working on a genealogy project.
In fact, you should check out Spain, which, until the Renaissance, was made up of lots of little kingdoms, ruled by lots of relatives with the same names. Fernando, Ramiro, Garcia, and Alphonso were favorites. There were dozens of kings there with the same names and numbers but all existing in separate Spanish kingdoms even though some of them were brothers (yes, brothers with the same names, too!), cousins, and uncles. One of the same name would kill off another of the same name and take over his kingdom, but use a new number. In fact, one king could have two different numbers behind his name.
If you were "King Alphonso III" in Castile, but you took over the kingdom of Barcelona, you might be "King Alphonso VI" in Barcelona if the previous numbers had already been used, but you'd continue to be "Alphonso III" in Castile. Spain was really trippy that way!
