Thanks for pointing that out.  :)

Crowned Knight is a good name for a Knight that has the additional powers
of a King without the limitations of being a King.  I guess a Crowned
Knight must surely be worth a Queen.  Maybe a whole lot more for the
ability to leap over adjacent obstructions.

A measely Pawn-Knight is a lot weaker than the Crowned Prince, but for
the
possibility of promotion into an extra King.

Royal Court would make a good name for either of these games, except for
the likelihood of confusion with Vasseur's Crowned Prince version, which
I now understand dates back to 1998.
