I would make it part of the name: {la nolturn.djeimyz. e la noltrutix.iasmin}. 
You could also say {la djeimyz. poi nolraitru}, especially if you want to 
say "King James of England", {la djeimyz. poi nolraitru la gligug}, or the 
like.

OT: I saw a page once about King James and Queen Valera. Someone translated 
the Book of Mormon into Spanish, and verses which in English sound like King 
James sound funny in Spanish to people used to the Reina-Valera 
translation. "Reina", however, is not a title but someone's name.

T: no'ini'o I use the same format for names of rivers and such: {la misisipis. 
rirx}, {la lelx.mitcigan}, {la cman.tcomolynmas} (sp?), etc. Which comes 
first is arbitrary, though there's a typological rule about it.
