Recollecting Ruth and Rodney King (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
henry tudor
'king' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'recollecting ruth and rodney' is the wordplay.
'recollecting' is an anagram indicator.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ruth'+'rodney'='ruthrodney'
'ruthrodney' anagrammed gives 'HENRY TUDOR'.
(Other definitions for henry tudor that I've seen before include "King" , "Old sovereign" .)
