King character jug produced in Occupied Japan circa 1945. King is the title given to a male monarch in a variety of contexts. In classical European feudalism, the title of king as the ruler of a kingdom is understood to be the highest rank in the feudal order, potentially subject only to an emperor. In a modern context, the title may refer to the ruler of one of a number of modern monarchies. The title of king is used alongside other titles for monarchs. A rope forms the handle of the jug.
