Line 17:
In terms of the ranks of [[Authority Tropes]], the tropes that are equal are [[The High Queen]], [[God Save Us From the Queen]], [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask]], [[She Is the King]], [[Iron Lady]], and [[President Evil]]. The next steps down are [[The Evil Prince]], [[Prince Charming]], [[Prince Charmless]], [[Warrior Prince]], [[The White Prince]], [[The Wise Prince]], and all [[Princess Tropes]]. The next step up is [[The Emperor]].

Line 120:
* [[Neverwinter Nights (Video Game)|Lord Nasher Alagondar]] fits the trope, even though he's technically not a king but the ruling lord of a city-state. He cares deeply for his subjects and is quite willing to personally take the field in their defense.
* King Alteon of Swordhaven in the [[Artix Entertainment (Creator)|Artix Entertainment]] games, but especially ''[[Adventure Quest Worlds]]''.
* Played with quite a bit in ''Blood Omen: [[Legacy of Kain]]''. Much of the second half of the game involves Kain being drawn into a war against the Nemesis, a [[Tin Tyrant]] with armies clad in red armor and [[Spikes of Villainy]]. At one time the Nemesis was King William the Just, a kind ruler who eventually let his power go to his head. Kain travels back in time to assassinate him and prevent the war entirely, but he does so during the era in which William was still well-loved by his people...[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|resulting in a vampire purge that leaves Kain the last of his race.]]

Line 143:
* [[Alfred the Great]]
* Sultan Suleiman [[The Magnificent]] of the Ottoman Empire is fondly remembered by the Turks for his tolerance and fair rule, ushering in his reign a period of peace and stability later sultans would try to emulate. In Turkish, his title translates to "Law-Giver."
* Some Roman emperors, including Augustus and the Five Good Emperors ([[Cool Old Guy|Nerva]], [[The Ace|Trajan]], [[Cultured Badass|Hadrian]], [[Nice Guy|Antoninus Pius]], and [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Marcus Aurelius]]).
