Kings in the SCA
The King is the current male ruler of a Kingdom. The King and Queen acting together are described as the Crown. Who becomes King is determined by victory in the Crown tournament, except in exceptional circumstances.
A King is addressed as Your Majesty, and referred to as His (Royal) Majesty. 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.
