Henry VIII.

Every other monarch you have had since Edward Longshanks has been embarrassed by the fact to a greater or lesser extent.

Not this guy, who embraced his inner Ric Flair and spent decades saying, "I'm the king, WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
 
Cnut, all of them.
I have a particular fondness for Ivar the Boneless, and his kid, Sigurd Snake Eye.
Honourable mentions to Eric the Bloodaxe, and, Harald Bluetooth, and his son, Sven Forkbeard.
 

Kaiser Wilhelm I
I prefer this German frog king from the fifteenth century.

Here’s a story for you:

Richard the Lionheart having survived the crusades came back to England.
The coffers were empty, so he goes to France with his soldiers to claim more land. He puts his brother John in charge.
So one day, they’re laying siege to a French castle, and Richard, in true arsehole fashion, decided he was going to strut around the battle with no armour on.
He got nailed by an arrow. The surgeon who was working on him was a knumb nuts and buggered up the surgery.
The wound became gangrene and Richard was dying. So his soldiers had stormed the castle and captured the archer who shot him. He was only a 13 year old French boy.
Richard, on his deathbed decides to pardon the boy, as he figured the history books would remember him kindly.
It didn’t make one lick of difference, as soon as he croaked, the English soldiers set the boy on fire and then hung him from a tree!
Meanwhile, back home, King John, Richard’s brother who was tasked with minded the throne contracted dysentery, which is a nice way to die, if you enjoying crapping blood.

The End.

Ahhh, I love a happy ending.
 
My favorite King is hitmaker of Love And Pride Paul King and MTV presenter.

My second favorite King is Jonathan King.

And then all the other Kings and Queens and what not after that.
