If someone called David became king of Britain would he

I don't think there has been a king David. So it'd be David or David I.

There have been two King Davids of Scotland already, which I think is what OP is getting at.

Yeah, it's a little confusing. I was gonna say he'd probably be David I since the United Kingdom is a new political entity but then I guess you've still got Elizabeth II and all the various Edwards and Georges.

So yeah, I think he'd be David III.

If i recall properly, it used to just be what ever it would be to England, but I think they changed the law relatively recently so for any new monarchs it takes the higher number of either England or Scotland, could be remembering wrong though

>>2129653
well when james became king of england he became james I right, even though he was james V of scotland?

so i have to imagine it'd be David I

>>2130153
In Scotland he would be David III for the UK he'd be David I much like King James I if England but IV of Scotland

That was before the act of union so he was known as James VI and I.
