A corect translation from Danish should be:
"There is no room in the world for more than one king Ludovicus"
Regards,
Mats

Yes - I just thought of this too - it's a good solution to the awkward plural of "Ludovicus". Thanks!

By the way, isn't his name King Ludwig in English, or is that only for the ones from Germany?

For instance, "Ludovicus Pius" of the Carolingian is known as "Louis the Pious" in English. Should we edit?

I don't know - I guess it depends on which Ludovicus this is - is he Danish, German, Italian (Luigi), French, or what? If he is Danish, what is he called in Danish?

I Denmark he would be called "Kong Ludvig" but we never had a king with that name.

What does your note under the translation say - you found it on an old ??? Where was the "knap" from?

I've googled this sentence, and it seems to be etched in a lot of ancient buttons but I didn't manage to know their origin (military or what, country, king alluded, ....)

Interesting - it seems the order should have been the following:

LUDOVICUS REX PLURES NON CAPIT ORBIS

But you know, Latin is not as strict with its syntax as modern languages are. Because meaning is not determined by the order of the words but by the the way they are declined through suffixes.

Yes, of course. I don't think this affects the translation.
