What were Richard the Lionheart's other nicknames?
Richard, the Monkey' s Spleen. This was a nickname given him by his school mates, but Richard never much cared for it. Richard, the Marsupial Brain was popular for a while but no one really knew what a marsupial was so Richard opted for Richard, the Pelican's Toe, but ultimately settled for Richard, the Lionhearted, after he was successfully sued by Ivan the Pelican's Toe for trademark infringement. O.K., O.K., I'm sorry, I'll behave. It is possible that you are confusing the nicknames given to John brother of Richard and subsequent King. John inherited the nicknames "Lack-land" (Sans Terre in French) because of his lack of inheritance being the youngest son and for his losses of territories in France. The nick name "Soft Sword" he earned for his reputed ineptitude in military affairs. King John in all likelihood would have been thrilled to find they had stopped calling him "Soft Sword" and started calling him "Pelican Toe".
George IV was the king of great Britain and Ireland from 1820 to 1830
Why doesn't Queen Elizabeth's husband have the title of King when her mother had the title of Queen?
In Britain the word "queen" has two meanings in connection with the monarchy. It means (1) the wife of the king (or late king); (2) a woman reigning in her own right (like a king). Elizabeth II is a queen in sense (2), and if one wants to be extremely precise one could use the expression "queen regnant" ("reigning queen") in such cases. The word "king" in connection with the monarchy only has the meaning of "reigning monarch." One can only become a king by succession (i.e. by birth), NOT by marriage. In other words, if one is married to a queen regnant one doesn't become a king. The husband of Queen Victoria (reigned 1837-1901) was her "consort" (that is, "marriage partner") and was often referred to as the "Prince Consort" or "Prince Albert." Answer: When a man marries a woman who is queen regnant he is not be styled as 'king' unless he holds this title in his own right i.e. if the king of one country marries the queen of another. It is normal, though not mandatory, for a man who marries a queen to be styled "Prince Consort" and there are two examples in Europe other than Britain: Henrik the husband of Margrethe II of Denmark and Claus the (deceased) husband of Beatrix of the Netherlands. When Victoria of Sweden becomes queen, her soon-to-be-husband (Daniel) may well be styled "Prince Consort" though this is not automatic. The reason for this practice is uncertain, though it may be due to the commonly-held belief in the past that men were better suited to positions of power and authority (women being the 'weaker' sex and 'less intelligent' than men) and that kings took precedence over queens in processions. Thus, if a man married a queen regnant, and received the title of king he would, in terms of protocol, be superior to her; this, of course, would have been unacceptable to any dynasty.
Apparently, he had four bothers-in-law who were high ranking officers of the German forces at the time - though some sites say "three" - take your pick.
