You might want to accept Old Hamlet or Old Norway for the first answer. You also forgot Yorick and Old Norway/Old Fortinbras. You might also want to consider separating Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

Old Norway's the other king, but good call on Old Hamlet, I'll change it so it accepts that as well. Yorick I didn't include because they don't actually talk about his death in the play, only the fact that he is dead, and what he was like when he was alive. Old Fortinbras though they do talk about, so I'll add that too.

How about King Fortinbras for the first answer? He was king when he was slain over the land.
