Oh The Picture Is Conrad Veitd i looked again
But he seemed less strangely named than Princess Michael of Kent - who I think is still around?
It sounds curious, but I believe male names for UK Princesses simply result from their acquisition of the spouse's title on marriage. E.g. after her wedding in 1913, Princess Alexandra was referred to as HRH Princess Arthur of Connaught, in accordance with the tradition that a wife normally shares the title and style of her husband.But he seemed less strangely named than Princess Michael of Kent - who I think is still around?
There were enough Michaels in Eastern Orthodox monarchies (the Byzantine Empire, Russia, Bulgaria), I think Western Europe can offer a couple of Portuguese Miguels only.Hearing mention of him when I was young(er!), 'Michael' didn't seem the right sort of name for a king -
dunno why, he's a pretty potent archangel, but have there been any other Kings Michael - in Romania or anywhere else?
Michael the Caulker (AKA Cross-Trampler) was another choice pick.Oh yes, I forgot about Byzantium Michael the Drunkard for one
Also three rulers of Bulgaria and three of Russia including the first of the Romanov dynasty.Oh yes, I forgot about Byzantium Michael the Drunkard for one
I did have a hunch there'd been a Miguel or two in Portugal.
But on the whole the name's been much more favoured among eastern European royalty.
Three of Russia? The first of the Romanovs, and -- very arguably -- the last, but who's the third?Also three rulers of Bulgaria and three of Russia including the first of the Romanov dynasty.
There were a couple of Roberts in early mediaeval France, and David, oddly enough, used to be popular among the Georgian Bagratids who claimed biblical descent.Robert and David are pretty popular Christian names, but as far as monarchs go, they seem to have been exclusively Scottish.

I shame tot have seen them, they are completely worthless. I think on Cleo de cinq a sept, whole nonsence deliberation in an autocar. And then a doctor who declares that a woman to have enjoyed intercourse with two men only from one can get a child. Amazingly we watched that...I never liked too much the films of "la nouvelle vague" : it's not a cinema well done in my opinion ! I certainly prefer the Italian cinema, "neorealist movment" ( Visconti, Rosselini and other ...)
Jean-Paul Sartre was for me a very interesting figure, though I did not read his books.
Hum, can I tell you that "L'Etranger" is rather by Camus than Sartre ...I read Sartre's L'Etranger in French several years ago. I did a research paper on existentialism in college about 45 years ago, the first time I encountered him but only read English translations then.

Charles, if and when he succeeds, may not be Charles III. Not sure what he will be.

And George VI was formerly known as Albert, I think.I've read somewhere he favours George after his grandfather; George VII.
wrote better novels than Sartre - well, La Peste is the only other one I've read -No problem, jedakk and like you say, Camus was also in the way of existentialism at this time even if later he denied it ...
