    denotes a number or company of which he is one, as the

    including the speaker. We is also often used by
    individuals, as authors, editors, etc., in speaking of
    themselves, in order to avoid the appearance of egotism
    in the too frequent repetition of the pronoun I. The
    plural style is also in use among kings and other
    sovereigns, and is said to have been begun by King John
    of England. Before that time, monarchs used the
    singular number in their edicts. The German and the
    French sovereigns followed the example of King John in
    a. d. 1200.
