"In August of 1216, the King of Scotland rode down the entire length of England to pay homage to a new English king at Dover.

The Scottish monarch bent his knee to a warrior prince who was the pride and hope of his dynasty.

His name was Louis and he was the eldest son of the King of France…"

"Louis is overlooked in most lists of English monarchs."

Well, yes. I'd suggest there is a good reason for that and it's the same reason as, for example, Harald Hardrada. Making a claim and having some supporters who think you'd be a better king than the then incumbent isn't actually the same as being crowned and generally recognised as being king.

Alexander was not there to give homage for his kingdom, but for his properties in England and France. A subtle distinction now, but very a significant difference then.
