Find a way to make a French king named Jenkins. Then we will have someone named "le roi Jenkins" 
(*Groans* Yes, yes, horrible pun

Although this is a good pun, I believe it is sadly impossible.
For one, Jenkins is not likely to be a first name, and every King was called by his first name, in every European monarchy.
Second, it doesn't really sound French. Even if a French king married a foreigner princess, the first names are likely to be French.
Lastly : considering how often a French king (or pretender) was called Louis, Charles, Philippe or Henri, Jenkins would probably be a lesser choice.
hsthompson said:Not impossible: merely improbable, given the vagaries of French pronunciation.
If you were to have fifteen French kings named John, the fifteenth would be Le Roi Jean Quinze.
Of course, even then the pun is broken anyhow, since the usual pronunciation of Leroy in English (li:roi) and Le Roi (le rua) is different.
So, all we need is to find a way to have up to fifteen Kings of France called John. Still a little hard to do.
Cmon guys, no challengers to my idea? It was the most comprehensive (with the guild following him into the battle)...
Good point. I had not look at the problem from this angle...

Well, I think they would have about a 32.33 percent repeating of course chance for survival.
