Regnal name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1388 words) |
 | A regnal name, or reign name, is a formal name used by a monarch or pope during his or her reign. |
| The new name (or sometimes the old one, confirmed) is followed by an ordinal to give a unique name for the period when the monarch is on the throne. |
| The new King declared that he chose the name Edward as an honored name borne by six of his predecessors, and that he did not wish to diminish the status of his father with whom alone among royalty the name Albert should be associated. |
