The King of Rome was a racing pigeon that won a race from Rome, Italy to England, in 1913. The bird, a blue cock, ring number NU1907DY168, was owned〔 and bred〔 by Charlie Hudson (born early 1870s, died 13 March 1958 aged 84〔), of 56 Brook Street, Derby (now demolished, ), who was reported as having started pigeon racing in 1904.〔 At the time of the race, he was president and treasurer of Derby Town Flying Club.〔 He also wrote on pigeon-racing matters for the ''Derby Evening Telegraph''. On the bird's death he presented its body to Derby Museum and Art Gallery where its taxidermied skin is preserved with accession number DBYMU.1946/48. As of 2011, it is on display, and has previously been exhibited on loan elsewhere, including Walsall Museum and Wollaton Hall in Nottingham.〔
