Apostolic Majesty
His (Royal) Apostolic Majesty was a Royal and noble styled title, styled title used by the Kings of Hungary, in the sense of being latter-day apostles of Christianity. First creation The origin of this title dates from around 1000 A.D. when Pope Silvester II conferred it upon Stephen I of Hungary, Saint Stephen I (975–1038), the first Christians, Christian king of Hungary in recognition of the king's promotion of the introduction of Christianity into Hungary and of his zeal in seeking the conversion of the heathen. According to tradition, Stephen also received the ecclesiastical title of "Apostolic Legate".

Most Faithful Majesty
Most Faithful Majesty () was the style used by the Portuguese monarchs, from 1748 to 1910.

Orthodox Majesty
Orthodox Majesty (, ) was the honorific title given in 1661 by Pope Alexander VII to King John II Casimir of Poland and Lithuania and his successors. This was done as a reward for the banishment of Socinians from Poland by the Sejm in 1658. The sobriquet ''Righteous King'' in its original, Latin version of ''Rex Orthodoxus'' was wrongly connected with the Eastern Christian Orthodoxy, while the traditional and dominant religion in the state was Catholicism. The original grantee, John II Casimir, abdicated in 1668 and left Poland. The title was eventually not adopted by the successive Polish monarchs and used only occasionally by John III, who himself was given the title of Defender of the Faith (''Defensor Fidei'') by Pope Innocent XI in 1684, following his victory over the |

Style Of The French Sovereign

Currently, there is no French sovereign; three distinct traditions (the Legitimist, the Orleanist, and the Bonapartist) exist, each claiming different forms of title. The three styles laid claim to by pretenders to the French throne are: * Legitimist: "Most high, most potent and most excellent Prince, X, by the Grace of God, King of France and of Navarre, Most Christian Majesty." () * Orleanist: "X, by the Grace of God and by the constitutional law of the State, King of the French." () * Bonapartist: "X, By the Grace of God and the Constitutions of the Republic, Emperor of the French."
