King

132.181.200.219: /* Kings in the SCA */

A '''king''' is the male [[monarch]] of a [[nation]]. Historically these were determined primarily by [[heir|hereditary]] succession. Depending on nation and time frame, this [[title]] was primarily passed through the eldest of the male line but [[becoming king|exceptions to this rule]] could occur and disputes could arise.

As the title of King is considered to outrank [[Queen]] in [[England]] and elsewhere, the husband of somebody who is Queen in her own right is not known as King, but as Prince Consort.

==King ([[Game]]s)==
In many [[game]]s the king holds a position of great importance. Frequently if the king is lost (or about to be lost) the game is considered over. Examples of this include [[chess]], [[tafl|hnefetafl]] and [[kubb]].

The king also appears in [[card]]s as one of four kings of various [[suit]]s. In [[draught]]s, the king is a [[crown]]ed piece that is given greater movement than the uncrowned pieces.

==Kings in the SCA==
In the [[SCA]], the choice of who will next [[becoming king|become King]] is determined by victory in the [[Crown tournament]], or by being the consort of the victor in a Crown Tournament. The King uses the [[arms]] of the [[Kingdom]], the [[Royal]] [[crown]] and other [[regalia]] for the duration of the [[reign]].

When a King steps down, he becomes a [[Count]] (or a variant appropriate to his [[persona]]) if he has reigned once and a [[Duke]] if he has reigned twice or more.

When [[Addressing Royalty|speaking to the King or the Queen]], the proper form of address is your Majesty (or your Majesties).

===Alternate Titles===

The SCA recognises the following [[alternate titles]] in other [[language]]s as the equivalent to King:
