Best Answer

Herod.

Kings mentioned in the style of King "X" are so named because "X" is their first name. Royalty, both ancient and modern only use first names and if they need any qualifying specifics, they use numbers, such as Elizabeth II, or Ptolemy XII. In the case of Herod, they used a second name such as Herod Agrippa or Herod Antipas as specifics.
