Holy Roman Emperors also pile on the royal titles. King of the Germans, king of Italy, on top of their regular titles. Charles V was king of Germany, Italy, Spain, Lord of the Netherlands, Duke of Burgundy. When he passed half of his titles to his brother Ferdinand, he was also king of Bohemia, Hungary and Croatia.

And yet somehow there's supposed to be only one real king in the Empire (Bohemia).

> Charles V

Funnily he was also King of two different Galicias (the one in Spain and the other one in Ukraine)

Maybe one day some really successful conqueror will be king of both Georgias, the one in North America and the one in Caucasus.

Or maybe a really specific conqueror?

I could bet on what his name would be.
