Most Formidable Lord and Master of the Quora Answer · Updated 11y ·
Fath Ali Shah Qajar, Shah of Persia was gifted a complete set of the Encyclopedia Britannica around 1800. After reading the whole thing, he extended his royal title to include "Most Formidable Lord and Master of the Encyclopedia Britannica." I don't know of any other ruler who had such a bookworm-y official royal title.
