Sometimes I find kings with non-royal names to appear in the game. It seems they're coming out of nowhere, since I don't see princes with such names. Anybody knows why ~:confused: Here are some screenshots:

The prince always takes a new name when they become king in the game. What name they get seems to be pretty random sometimes.
With my experience playing as Almohads, it just becomes their last name. Maybe it's the same here.
That's why my king is king Michael

For Poland, I am sure. No matter the prince, they always take a different name when they get to the throne. It could be the family name as Wonderland suggested.
Of course this could all be different for every faction.

KT,
That happens when a rebel general wins a civil war and ascends the throne. No matter, his sons born afterwards will receive "regular" royal names.

What's next King Kneepnob the Ankle Biter. Or Emperor Alsquian the Flatulent?
Sultan Phluinixehnorb
We've already seen an emperor named Adolf but do the Russians have Stalin?

As far as I recall anyway, I'll check again at home.

Kind Aed of the Sicilians doesn't seem right either, that was a name for an Irish general in VI....

Ah, I see. I haven't played vanilla in a while and never noticed it when I did.
