"King"

A king is a male monarch, often the highest-ranking ruler in a monarchy, which is a form of government where a single individual holds power, usually inherited through family lineage. Kings typically have significant authority over their kingdom, making decisions about laws, governance, and diplomacy. Their role can vary greatly depending on the country and its traditions—some kings serve as ceremonial figures with limited powers, while others wield substantial control over political affairs. The concept of kingship often includes responsibilities to their subjects, cultural symbolism, and historical significance in shaping nations and societies.
