List of Nicknames of European royalty and nobility
Obviously not all might be (CK2) period.
See also the
List of monarchs by nickname.
Most of those nicknames were created in the XVIII-XIXth Century, so they were not contemporarious. Except for some that were actually living in the XVIII-XIXth Centuries.
Gentlemen, this petitions have some problems:
First, about nicknames, most of them were not used during the monarch's lifetime. Some did, but it was not common. They were made up in Modern era by romantics and historians. For example, John II of Aragon was called
the Faithless by his enemies, but he had no other surname. For some reason, he's remembered in Wikipedia as
the Great, for probably the same reason Philip IV of Spain was also the Great, while he did nothing worthy worthy of greatness. Instead, he was sometimes called the
Planet-King, a mock considering that his rival, Louis XIV of France, was the
Sun-King.
Also, a king had some surnames, or many, or none. Surnames are a romantic thing, like plate armours in the XIth Century.
Second, about numerals, they were also not used until the XIVth Century, and even then their use was not wide. Only some monarchs did use numerals, and usually wrong. Frederick III of Sicily was actually the second king of Sicily to be called Frederick, but since the former one was the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick II (second HREmperor of that name), the numeral stood.
Peter IV of Aragon signed
Pere Terç, Peter the Third, because Peter I of Aragon had not been Count of Barcelona and he considered that he
didn't count.
Only Popes used commonly numerals, and even then they were mistaken. If you don't believe me, look for John XX...
