  Egypt: The Kings (Pharaohs) of Ancient Egypt
Kings were not only males, and unlike in modern monarchies, the ruler of ancient Egypt, whether male or female, was always called a king.
In ancient (Pharaonic) Egypt, the pinnacle of Egyptian society, and indeed of religion, was the king.
In many if not most accounts, the king is viewed as an incarnation of Horus, a falcon god, and the posthumous son of Osiris, who himself was a divine king slain by his brother, Seth.

  Los Angeles Kings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Despite Dionne's leadership, the Kings missed the playoffs the next two seasons, and were quickly swept out of the playoffs by the Oilers in the 1984-85 NHL season, when the Oilers won their second straight Stanley Cup championship.
The Kings continued to be bounced out of the first round of the playoffs until 1988-89, a season that would be a big turning point for the franchise.
Gretzky led the Kings to their first regular season division title in franchise history in the 1990-91 season with a 46-24-10 record (102 points, the second best point total in franchise history), but that would not be the pinnacle of his career in Los Angeles.

 Protestant Reformation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a direct result of the move toward centralization, leaders like Louis XI of France (1461-1483), the “spider king,” sought to remove all constitutional restrictions on the exercise of their authority.

(Although USGS topographical maps measure the height of Kings Pinnacle at 1,690 feet - anyone have a really long measuring tape?) These mountains and the saddle that connects them are oriented in a northeast to southwest direction, their slopes facing east and west.

 ¡Vamos a Bailar! - The Discography
Some time after the Gipsy Kings became popular in the United States the decision was made to re-release some of the material which they had recorded earlier and which was available, up until this point, only in Europe and very occasionally in the States.
The Gipsy Kings are much more excellent live in concert than in the studio because they draw energy and enthusiasm from the crowd and it shows through clearly in their music.
Perhaps the Gipsy Kings or their management didn't feel it would do well in the U.S. I mean, they knew I would buy it, even if it differed from Love Songs only in cover art, but I am only one Fanatic out of 250 million or so Americans.
