Henry V - Henry the Fifth?

[Van Khanh]

Hi,

What is the difference btw:

a.King Henry the Fifth.
b.The King Henry the Fifth.
c. Henry the Fifth

Thanks

.
a. formal, official name
b. incorrect - unless possibly you add a comma and change capitalization this way: "The king, Henry the Fifth, was..." But that still sounds a little weird.
c. official name - it is understood that he was also king.

Dear Yankee,

I know you on the forum now. Can you return to "notice vs note" and share with me your opinions about:

What is the relevant noun of "notice"?
What is the relevant noun of "note"?

Thanks
