The King and I is based on a semi-fictionalized biographical novel by a preacher.
With the breakup of the Carolingian Empire in the 9th century, the system of feudalism places kings at the head of a pyramid of relationships between liege lords and vassals, dependent on the regional rule of barons, and the intermediate positions of counts (or earls) and dukes
In the context of prehistory, antiquity and contemporary indigenous peoples, the title may refer to tribal kingship
