Your thinking of the Landover series by Terry Brooks, and yes Michael Ard Rhi was the High King of Landover but I won’t say anymore about the story because I recommend people to read it as Terry Brooks is a great author in my opinion.

I remember a “Michael Ard Rhi” character in a book I read years ago, but I don’t remember much about it other than it was based (somewhat loosely) on Irish history and folklore, and Michael Ard Rhi was not the main character. He was the High King, but I’ve no idea whether that’s anything like a literal translation of the phrase.

Help any?

I seem to remember something about a King and Queen together being addressed as Your Majesties. So I guess both the King and Queen will both be referred to as Your Majesty.

I guess a problem with this comes from a system like the Netherlands’ where the partner of a Queen does not get the rank of King. Or, more to the point, I don’t think you could correctly address Alex and Nastajia together as Your Majesties. While both of them might be addressed as Your Majestie (Nastajia by her subjects, the elves) they are of different rank still.

I love the look on Nastajia’s face as she translates in the 5th panel.

Being from Denmark, I can tell a bit of what I know about royalty. The most common way to address the Queen today is as “Your Royal Highness” (His/Her Royal Highness). Also “Your Majesty” is widely used, for both genders. Our Queen’s prince is “Your Highness”. This also goes for their children, as heirs to the throne. Other members of family is “Highness”. What would correspond to the British Lords, Dukes and Counts, are “Your Excellency”. These titles are in text often shortened to “HRH”, “HH” or “HE”.

Of course, if Arthur were a Roman noble of the late Imperial period, he might have a totally different office, such as Dux Bellorum, Along with this rank would go one of three titles: illustris (illustrious); speciabilis (worshipful); clarissimus (right honourable). (The first of these titles is the highest.)

In our terms, this is similar to the difference between “King” (office) and “Your Majesty (title or term of address).
