You know nothing of what it means to be King. The fate of Camelot rests in my hands.
Uther to Morgana[src]

Kings are male monarchs who rule over kingdoms. Most kings come into their power through inheritance; as the eldest male surviving child, they succeed their father and ascend the throne upon his death. However, it is also possible to become one through conquest; by seizing power from a ruling monarch.

As the highest power in the land, a king holds despotic authority over state affairs and oversees the running of their kingdom with the help of their advisors. Their crown and rich dress symbolize their position.

The female equivalent or consort of a king is a Queen.

Trivia[]

  • Kings are traditionally addressed as "My Lord".
  • It is unknown why some kings are styled as Kings and others as Lords. However, it has been speculated that it may be related to their kingdoms' line of succession.
