A king is a male monarch who rules over a sovereign state or country. The word king comes from the Old English word "cyning" which means ruler or leader. Kings have held a variety of roles throughout history, including political, military, and religious leadership.
In England, the monarchy has held a prominent role in the country's history, with the first king, Egbert, being crowned in 802 AD. Throughout the centuries, many famous kings have ruled over England, including William the Conqueror, Henry VIII, and Queen Elizabeth II's father, George VI.
Kings are often viewed as figures of power and authority, and their reigns are often marked by significant events and accomplishments. However, they can also be controversial figures, with some kings being remembered for their cruelty or incompetence.
Today, there are still a small number of kingdoms in the world, including Saudi Arabia, Swaziland, and Thailand, but most countries have transitioned to other forms of government, such as republics or constitutional monarchies.
