Louis A King of England?
Since other English Kings such as Edward V and Edward VIII were not crowned but only proclaimed, and – more to the point – Louis occupied so much of England and was recognised as king by the barons as well as by the king of Scotland, there is a good case for including Louis VIII in the list of Kings of England. However, a clause of the Treaty of Lambeth required Prince Louis to declare retroactively that he had never been the rightful king.

Famous quotes containing the words louis and/or king:
“The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“I see that Time’s the king of men;
He’s both their parent, and he is their grave,
And gives them what he will, not what they crave.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
