The first King of Italy of that name being a Victor Emmanuel II (following the Savoy numbering), the first Emperor Frederick of Germany being the Third (following the Prussian numbering), and so on, mainly because it's part of the royal pregorative and in theory at least (usually heavily with governmental approval), a monarch can use whatever name and number they want. | |

Despite its de jure independent status, Ireland in many ways 1541-1800 was very much treated as subservient to England/Great Britain. | |

Correct numbering of Kings James of Scotland.
