Would this have worked? Moshe Rabbeinu haya melech (see Tanhuma
Beha'alothcha 9, cited by the Rambam but I don't recall where).  A
king's wife may not remarry (H. Melachim 2:2).>>

How literally do we take this? Obviously he did not pass the kingship
to his son as a normal king would do. There are many other laws,
did MR have to shave often? (what MR didn't have a long umkempt beard!!)
Did he keep a sefer Torah with him all the time?
(Since the sefer Torah wasnt finished till he died obviously not)
