Random information on the term “King of Mercia”:

The Emperor of Ethiopia (Ge’ez: ንጉሠ ነገሥት, nəgusä nägäst, “King of Kings”) was the hereditary ruler of the Ethiopian Empire, until the abolition of the monarchy in 1975. The Emperor was the head of state and head of government, with ultimate executive, judicial and legislative power in that country. A National Geographic article called imperial Ethiopia “nominally a constitutional monarchy; in fact [it was] a benevolent autocracy”.

The title of “King of Kings”, often rendered imprecisely in English as “Emperor”, dates back to ancient Mesopotamia, but was used in Axum by King Sembrouthes (c. 250 AD).

In May 1996, Gillian Shephard, Secretary of State for Education and Employment, commissioned an inquiry, led by the then Chancellor of the University of Nottingham, Sir Ron Dearing, into the funding of British higher education over the next 20 years. This National Committee of Inquiry into Higher Education reported to the new Labour Government, in the summer of 1997, stating additional billions of funding would be needed over the period, including £350 million in 1998–99 and £565 million in 1999–2000, in order to expand student enrolment, provide more support for part-time students and ensure an adequate infrastructure. The committee, as part of its brief, had controversially investigated the possibility of students contributing to the cost of this expansion, either through loans, a graduate tax, deferred contributions or means testing state assistance, as their report notes:
