Of course "King Trump" goes against Western royal naming conventions. The practice is to use a regnal name (the monarch's first name or one of his/her middle names) rather than the family name. This is because with a monarchy passing from father to son every one of them would "King Trump" which would be boring. So instead it would "King Donald" or "King John", whichever he preferred to take at his coronation. I strongly suspect he'd prefer "King Donald" over "King John".

In the history of England there has been just one King John, and his reign has been viewed negatively for a millennia. King from 1199 to 1216, he is most remembered as the King who was forced to sign the Magna Carta (in English "Great Charter") that limited the power of English monarchs and established the principle that all men, including the King, are subject to the law and established some fundamental rights for "free men". At the time his reign started his kingdom included Normandy and other substantial parts of France. In his short reign he suffered a series of military defeats in France which cost him his French territory. Known as a particularly cruel king, he is the villianous King John of the Robin Hood stories. This history pretty much assured that no future King of England would choose John as his regnal name.

Family legend says that I'm related to King Alfred the Great, ruler of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex from 871 to 899. This was before the first unification of England under his grandson King Athelstan in 927. An AI summary of his education initiatives lists the following education accomplishments of Alfred the Great:

• Literacy for leaders: He mandated that all government officials be literate. He believed that a decline in learning was the cause of many of his kingdom's problems.
• Court school: He established a court school to educate his own children, the sons of his nobles, and promising boys of a lesser birth.
• Translation of texts: He recognized that few people could read Latin, so he initiated and participated in translating important Latin books into Old English. This made knowledge more accessible to a broader audience.
• Old English literature: By translating works and commissioning texts like the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Alfred helped establish Old English as a literary language.

As a follow-up, Alfred the Great is today known as the "Education King" for his emphasis on education.

With the condition of our educational system, we could use old Alfred.

King Alfred the Great didn't have the problems of juggling the demands of the PTA, the NEA and other teacher unions, and elected school boards. And let's not leave out the entitled Karen parents out there and the problem of broken homes. If he had to deal with that mess he might have ended up as just King Alfred the "meh".

King Alfred accomplished something, unlike many of his predecessors.

In the good, old USA; one would be remiss in failing to acknowledge William Mcguffey's monumental achievements in teaching our illiterate populace.

My beloved grandmother grew up in poverty. She was unable to read and write. My mother, however, helped her become literate by teaching granny to read using the Bible. Granny was a devout Christian, to say the least. She never missed a Baptist Sunday service, morning and afternoon. She'd often tell me, son, everything you need to know about life is written in the "good book".

William Holmes McGuffey was president of Ohio University from 1839 to 1843 and created the first four volumes of The Eclectic Readers, commonly known as the McGuffey Readers. (The last two of the six volumes were created by William's brother, Alexander Hamilton McGuffey, in 1844 and 1857.) These were the nation's first primers, used in classrooms across America to teach reading, and much more.

Between 1836 and 1960, approximately 120 million copies were sold, matched only by sales of the Bible and Webster's Dictionary. For more than a century, then, the Readers played a central role in shaping American identity and values, inspiring such prominent figures as Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Ford, and the Wright Brothers.
