Congrats on your Silver Thinker

and @pgn `s "Burger King" as the last English king killed in battle did make me laugh

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo - well done everyone! Funnily enough, we'd only just watched The Spy Who Loved Me again recently, loved having the opportunity to offer a daft answer... Who cares which King was the last to die in battle 😜. The last King of Scotland was stymied by the question somewhat 🤔
