If Catholics are a precedent, I think the rule would have to be that once you die, that's it, crown forfeited. But I'm not sure it's a valid precedent unless having been dead puts in question your devotion to the realm, the way Catholicism does in England.

In some fantasy realms where resurrection is a fact of life, monarchs who die lose their crown, no takebacks. Mostly to avoid having civil wars over it while still ensuring power changes hands occasionally. Yeah, I was just mildly hurt that the same sprite as the noble gratuities petitioner was used... Live by the snark, die by the snark. :p
