Transcription. A four-panel meme.
Person A: “I’m an expert in French history.”
Person B: “Oh yeah? Name 15 kings.”
Person A: “Louis.”
Person B: “That’s on me, I set the bar too low.”
Not sure; I’ve wondered that before too. If I had to guess I’d say people just keep naming future kings after previously liked kings - the first few king Louis weren’t all that popular, but later on there were some popular ones (Louis IX was named a saint, for instance, which may have boosted it).
16 is certainly a lot of kings to have the same name. I believe there’s 20-something Pope Johns, if I recall correctly
I'm just waiting on pope John Paul George, then we just gotta tack on Ringo somehow and we've got The Beatles back!
