I googled this question and am still not satisfied with a "no offical
rule" answer. How would a pro name royalty?
I use FTM 2008 software.
I have decided NOT to include 'royal titles' in their name entry.
For this example, all describing the same person,
which would be the correctly accepted way of naming:
Question 1
a. Bernard
b. Bernard of Italy (indexes as 'Italy, Bernard of')
Question 2
a. John, I (indexes as 'John, I')
b. John of England, I (indexes as 'England, John of I')
c. John Lackland
Question 3
a. Henry, III
b. Henry of England, III
c. Henry Plantagenet
d. Henry Plantagenet, III
What is the correct way to annotate names of royalty?

If you don't want to include titles (which FTM has a special place for
anyway) then the name & surname one is all that's left. Numbers and
countries are a form of title in this context, and nicknames such as
"Lackland" are never a good idea. They all had/have surnames - you'll just
have to do the research to find them.

My recommendation is:
Q1: Bernard as name; Bernard of Italy as AKA; King of Italy as occupation.
Q2: John as name; I as last name suffix (just like Jr.); King of England as
occupation.
Q3: Henry Plantagenet as names (first and last); Henry III as AKA; King of
England as occupation.

Since he had a surname, why on earth not use it?

Using FTM, with Bernard of Italy as an example, I input the name as "Bernard
of Italy \\" the double backslashes allow the name to index as Bernard of
Italy rather than Italy, Bernard of.
