Which invention was named after a medieval king?
Answer: The Gatling gun was named after Dr. Richard Gatling, while the Jacquard loom was named after Joseph Marie Jacquard. However, an invention named after a medieval king is the Morse code related to King Louis XIV—often simply referred to in popular culture, though not directly named for him. The Graham cracker is sometimes mistakenly thought to be named after a ‘King’ Graham, but it comes from Sylvester Graham. But for a true medieval naming, consider the “Crusader” series of tank landing ships named for medieval Crusader knights.
Summary: Although not directly an invention named after a medieval king, the term often refers to products or ideas inspired by medieval themes or figures.
