king
King is the title given to a male monarch in a variety of contexts. The female equivalent is queen regnant (while the title of queen on its own usually refers to the consort of a king).
In the context of prehistory, antiquity and contemporary indigenous peoples, the title may refer to tribal kingship. Germanic kingship is cognate with Indo-European traditions of tribal rulership (c.f. Indic rājan, Gothic reiks, and Old Irish rí, etc.)
In the context of classical antiquity, king may translate Latin rex or either Greek archon or basileus.
In classical European feudalism, the title of king as the ruler of a kingdom is understood as the highest rank in the feudal order, potentially subject, at least nominally, only to an emperor (harking back to the client kings of the Roman Empire).
In a modern context, the title may refer to the ruler of one of a number of modern monarchies (either absolute or constitutional). The title of king is used alongside other titles for monarchs, in the West prince, emperor, archduke, duke or grand duke, in the Middle East sultan or emir; etc.
^ The notion of a king being below an emperor in the feudal order, just as a duke is the rank below the king, is more theoretical than historical: the only kingdom within the Holy Roman Empire was the Kingdom of Bohemia; the Austrian Empire technically contained the kingdom of Hungary, but the emperor and the king were the same person. The modern Russian Empire and German Empire did not include any kingdoms; only the short-lived First French Empire (1804–1814/5) did include a number of client kingdoms under Napoleon I, such as the Kingdom of Italy or the Kingdom of Westphalia.

I can't even lift and aim it :).

SEATTLE - A rise in crime outside the King County courthouse has resulted in questions by the King County Council.
A group of councilmembers heard from police and judges Tuesday on how to address what’s happening on Third Avenue.
Councilmember Pete Von Reichbauer said...
Up for sale is a nice 1952 High Standard Sport King that was threaded by Tornado Technologies.
Very good condition and it comes with 3 mags. The two tone magazine is original to the gun.
This has the right hand thumb rest grip for a natural point & shoot.
No box or papers. Great suppressor host...
Looking for a reputable gunsmith or someone who specializes in polishing stainless revolvers. Any members on here have any of their safe queens done up?
For sale, Hi-Standard HD Military. The photos show the piece and condition. I took it in on trade and obviously don't know the round count. Looking to get $475 out of it and not really looking for anything in trade. I have to pay myself back for some toys I bought. Comes with one mag.
