The AV translators did not even use the same language as the AV itself in their letter to the King. Otherwise they would have said "thy majesty" and not the more common [even though addressed to royalty] "your majesty".

Isn't "thy" singular and "your" plural? I think kings and queens are often addressed in the plural and refer to themselves in the plural, so I'm not sure you've identified a discrepancy there.
