                Nothing yet but in my wanderings I have discovered King Eric Ploughpenny of Denmark who taxed farmers on how many ploughs they owned. He met a grizzly end!

                  Good! But no Kings are involved here.

                              The only Abel composer I can find is Pasquini but no K here!

                                No, not Pasquini. It's a remarkably prolific composer, but one better known for his other Music activities (and, in one infamous case, "inactivity".)
