  Offa of Mercia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prior to the rise of Wessex in the 9th century, he was arguably the most powerful and successful of the Old English kings, effectively ruling the whole of England south of the River Humber during the latter part of his reign.
It may be surmised from such evidence that the kings Heahberht (mentioned in a charter of 764) Egbert (mentioned in a charter of 765) were merely client kings subject to Mercian authority.
In Anglo-Saxon England, Stenton argued that Offa was perhaps the greatest king of the English kingdoms, but that the proof of his abilities was obscured by the lack of a historian (such as Bede a half-century earlier, or Asser a century later) to describe his achievements.

 Kingdom of Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
There is evidence to suggest that Kent and its boundaries relate to this British canton because it was handed over in entirety to King Hengist by treaty during the middle of the 5th century.
Kent seems to have had its greatest power under Æthelbert at the beginning of the 7th century: Ethelbert was recognized as Bretwalda until his death in 616, and was the first Anglo-Saxon king to accept Christianity, as well as the first to introduce a written code of laws.
Mercian authority was replaced by that of Wessex in 825, following the latter's victory at the Battle of Ellandun, and the Mercian client king Baldred was expelled.

In 1056, King Ferdinand I of Leon, king also of Castile (peripheral principalities in Europe at the time) proclaimed himself "Emperor of Spain", beginning the Reconquista.
Europeans came to apply the term "empire" to large non-European monarchies, such as the Empire of China or the Mughal (or Mogul) Empire, and to extend it to past policies.
This led to a good deal of resentment in the client states, and therefore probably to the demise of this system by the early- to mid-twentieth century.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.07.31
Duane Roller's study of the client kings of Mauretania -- the first in English -- is a welcome addition to the list: its judicious combination of material and literary evidence (not a feature of other recent books) makes for a rewarding exercise in cultural and political history.
As a result, "Romans could take comfort that the kings were visibly effective in their romanizing, and the kings in that they were an integral part of the empire and that their kingdoms manifested the latest Roman cultural phenomena" (131).
Client kingship is a good place to finish, since as well as adding depth to our understanding of this fascinating region and its rulers, The World of Juba II makes a substantial contribution to the scholarship on client kings.

 GameSpy.com - Interview: Warrior Kings: Part II
When developing Warrior Kings the decision was made early on to use a client/server architecture and entire code development centered on this model.
The reason we chose the client/server model was to avoid the inherent problems associated with peer to peer games such as each client having it's own view of the state of the game world at any one time.
Because the game engine is completely open architecture, the designers have been hands on with the expression of everything from the actual game mechanics, through the AI to the specific level triggering and plot delivery.

 Desmond Before The Norman Invasion: a political study
The greater kings were increasingly able to exact military service from their lesser counter-parts, and Rory O'Connor's council of Irish kings in 1166 augured well for the creation of an all-Ireland state, though his ultimate failure was painfully predictable.
This is hardly surprising as the early Irish king was always the dominant figure in the external relations of his kingdom, and in the twelfth century such 'relations' generally consisted of major battles and/or the assertion of overlordship.
The king of Desmond submitted quite voluntarily and Giraldus informs us that 'he was drawn forthwith into a firm alliance with Henry through the bond of homage, the oath of fealty and the giving of hostages'.

 King, Dunmail, Cumbria, Medieval, History, Dark Ages, Britons
One theory for this is that as Strathclyde was the crown seat of the kings of the Britons, people referred to the whole district as Strathclyde in much the same way as people refer to Great Britain as England.
The descendants of Corvus reigned at Dumbarton, beyond the Roman border, as an independent line of kings rivalling the client-kings of Roman Britain and were the ancestors of the later Kings of Strathclyde (543-889), surviving the Roman Era until the close of the early Middle Ages.
The kingdom came to an end as an independent state in Year 889 when its last native king, Eochu, was expelled by the Scots, whereupon he and the remaining members of the Strathclyde royal house fled to Wales, and disappear from history.

 The Biblical Covenant and Christian Worship - by Richard C. Leonard, Ph.D., Laudemont Ministries
The great king or "lord" promises protection, in return for the total allegiance of the vassal or "servant." The servant must treat as brothers all other client kings who are in covenant with his lord, and is not to harm them or invade their territories.
In pagan cultures, the gods of the great king and the client king are called as witnesses; in the biblical covenant, the witnesses are usually heaven and earth (e.g., Deut.
The depiction of these judgments occurs in a context of the worship of the "King of kings and Lord of lords," obvious treaty-covenant nomenclature.
