That is why I said in my opinion it doesn't really matter whether it's a long time ago. (does it really? It surely includes the recent past kings as well as the long ago kings as well...) | |

Former and previous could work, but as with earlier, they don't convey that the timeframe is necessarily connected to the point of reference (i.e., it could've been a long time ago). | |
