Australians like me technically have a king and even we don't grovel like this. We'd consider it unseemly for him to want us to.

I've written a ttrpg supplement about Venetian folklore for the Ars Magica roleplaying game. It is "pay what you want" on Drivethru and itch. Paying zero is fine: I've covered my costs. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

Lean into it.

In excellent news, the youth have abandoned it, so I use it far too often.

Ah, you know that makes you sound like an egotistical conspiracy theorist?

Your idea that the poor were ignorant is demonstrably false, though, as I noted above. Any sailor could tell you this

The idea people thought the world was flat appears in the US as a part of Washington Irving's agrandisment of Columbus. The first person to make a decent guess at size was Eratosthenes, and he died a century and a half BC.

Now you're just being silly. Evidence that the world is round was trivially easy for people to see. Sailors knew it because it's why you see the masts of ships on the horizon before you see the hulls. It's also why when you walk to a town the first thing you generally see is the spire.

Seems unlikely. Pope Sylvester II had a globe in 1000AD Is this Americans doing their Columbus stuff again?
