Kings of Camelot are the male monarchs of Camelot. As the highest power in the land, they hold despotic authority over state affairs and oversee the running of the kingdom with the help of their advisors.
History[]
The first King of Camelot was a man called Bruta, who was responsible for forming the Five Kingdoms (The Sword in the Stone).
Uther Pendragon became King of Camelot after he conquered it in his youth. He was eventually succeeded by his son, Arthur Pendragon, who ascended the throne after his death (The Dragon's Call, The Sorcerer's Shadow, The Wicked Day).

Trivia[]
- Kings are traditionally addressed as "My Lord".
- There have been fewer Kings of Camelot than there have been Queens.
- Both Uther and Arthur were overthrown by Morgana at some point in their reigns (The Coming of Arthur, The Sword in the Stone).
- Arthur is possibly the first King to personally crown his wife Queen, as Geoffrey crowned Catrina during her wedding to Uther (Beauty and the Beast, The Sword in the Stone).
