Thanks for the gap and help, @Cleoriff, @, but my limited knowledge of Kings, English or otherwise, is limited
Perhaps I can make amends by proffering this King...
(It is a pain to switch from mobile to full to embed a video, btw!)

Congratualtions to all those who won a trophy; commisserations to those who didn`t but you all have a chance next week when the subject will be FRANCE [not the language].
Thanks everyone who played this week, I hope you enjoyed it.
Mi-Amigo
I'd like to answer next weeks mystery French question early if possible.
Answer is:
"And after 13 long minutes, they surrendered"
Well done everyone!
Well done everyone 
@viridis Brilliant and true...
@Mi-Amigo I need to ask if you are in cahoots with @MI5 ??????
Yesterday you inferred his favourite football club (Liverpool) could be a topic. Today you state France is next weeks challenge. @MI5 has a second home in France....
All a bit fishy to me...
NB, in case anyone thinks I'm being serious, then you don't know me at all 
Well done everyone 👑 👑

Shucks I`ve been sussed. We Liverpool fans have to stick together when we have the Red Army to contend with
And anyone who believes that really doesn`t know what @Cleoriff calls [and I admit is] my "weird sense of humour".
All I`ll add is, wait till everyone sees the question!! As I said, it is not about the French language.
Oh and in two weeks time, I`ve got a much easier question [well some might think so 
] and "No" I`m not saying what the subject is yet
