Rex Fidelissimus
Most Faithful Majesty () was the style used by the Portuguese monarchs, from 1748 to 1910. The title is still attached to Portugal, as it was given to Portugal in the person of its sovereigns, and is still being used by the Holy See. The sobriquet Most Faithful King (, ) was a title awarded by the Pope Benedict XIV – as spiritual head of the Catholic Church – in 1748, to King João V of Portugal and to his heirs. The title remains attached to monarchs descended from whoever received the original sobriquet, and to Portugal itself. The sobriquet can be awarded to either a king or a queen. The only European monarchy that has received the sobriquet was the now-defunct monarchy of Portugal. Similar titles The monarchs of other countries have received similar titles from the Pope: * Hungary: ''Apostolic Majesty'' (awarded ) * Venice: '' Most Serene Republic'' * France: ''Most Christian Majesty'' (awarded ) * Spain: '' Most Catholic Majesty'' (awarded in 1493) * England: ''Defend ...

Holy Roman Emperors
The Holy Roman Emperor, originally and officially the Emperor of the Romans (; ) during the Middle Ages, and also known as the Roman-German Emperor since the early modern period (; ), was the ruler and head of state of the Holy Roman Empire. The title was held in conjunction with the title of King of Italy (''Rex Italiae'') from the 8th to the 16th century, and, almost without interruption, with the title of King of Germany (''Rex Teutonicorum'', ) throughout the 12th to 18th centuries. The Holy Roman Emperor title provided the highest prestige among medieval Catholic monarchs, because the empire was considered by the Catholic Church to be the only successor of the Roman Empire during the Middle Ages and the early modern period. Thus, in theory and diplomacy, the emperors were considered first among equalsamong other Catholic monarchs across Europe. From an autocracy in Carolingian times (AD 800–924), the title by the 13th century evolved into an elective monarchy, with ...

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 |

"Defender of the Faith" has been one of the subsidiary titles of the English and later British monarchs since it was granted on 11 October 1521 by Pope Leo X to King Henry VIII. His wife Catherine of Aragon also used the title. The title was conferred in recognition of Henry's book ''Defence of the Seven Sacraments, Assertio Septem Sacramentorum'' (''Defence of the Seven Sacraments''), which defended the s ...

Portuguese Monarch
This is a list of Portuguese monarchs who ruled from the establishment of the Kingdom of Portugal, in 1139, to the deposition of the Portuguese monarchy and creation of the Portuguese Republic with the 5 October 1910 revolution. Through the nearly 800 years in which Portugal was a monarchy, the kings held various other titles and pretensions. Two kings of Portugal, Ferdinand I and Afonso V, claimed the crown of Castile and waged wars in order to enforce their respective claims. Ferdinand I managed to be recognized as King of Galiza in 1369, although his dominance of the region was short-lived. When the House of Habsburg came into power, the kings of Spain, Naples, and Sicily also became kings of Portugal. The House of Braganza brought numerous titles to the Portuguese Crown some honorary, such as the attribution of the title of '' Rex Fidelissimus (His Most Faithful Majesty),'' and royal titles, such as King of Brazil and then ''de jure'' Emperor of Brazil.
