In researching, these were the closest and most interesting.
From 1534 to 1547 it was treason to...
slanderously and maliciously publish and pronounce, by express writing or words, that the king our sovereign lord should be heretic, schismatic, tyrant, infidel or usurper of the crown
This mostly aimed at Papists. Everyone had to acknowledge the king, not the Pope, was the head of the church. To say otherwise was treason.
Prior to 1547 it was illegal to refer to a monarch correctly if that monarch was the king of France. The English monarchs claimed that title from 1340 until 1801.
