Category:Kings

This category is for monarchs who held the title of King (or Queen). It is not for monarchs who were emperors, nor for monarchs such as Aledro, Duke of Bari whose monarchical title was of lower than that of king. However, it may include King-Emperors such as Franz-Joseph I of Austria, as well as kings who held another, lower regnal title of lower rank. For instance, William I of England was Duke of Normandy at the same time he was King of England, while Gerin the Fox's career as a monarch saw him go from Baron to Prince to King, and exercise the same sovereign claim (albeit over increasingly large areas) at each stage.

Also not meant to be included here are monarchs whose titles cannot quite be compared to that of a king, such as a pope.
