The King of the Æthics is the monarch of the Kingdom of Æthele. The Æthic Throne is controlled by the House of Corraidhín, a family dynasty that united Æthele in 865 C.E. and has ruled to the present day. There is no strict legal or formal definition in Æthics law of who is or is not a member of the Royal Family, and different lists will include different people.
There are several major houses and cadet branches in Æthele, and hundreds of smaller houses as well.
Constitutional Role
Recognition of Lord Minister
Dissolution of the House of Delegates
The King has the right to call for "Gedal," or dissolution of the House of Delegates. Use of the gedal was common up until 1866, after the passage of the Elections Act. The monarch could in theory unilaterally dismiss the lord minister, but in practice the lord minister's term nowadays comes to an end only by electoral defeat, death, or resignation. The last monarch to remove the prime minister was Wealhmær VI, who dismissed Robert Cynefrið in 1834.

Succession
Succession is governed by the statue of the Acts of Succession of 1300. The rules of succession may only be changed by an Act of the House; it is not possible for an individual to renounce his or her right of succession.
Upon the death of a sovereign, their most immediate heir immediately and automatically succeeds, and the accession of the new sovereign is publicly proclaimed by the Royal Secretary at the Royal Court of Edmond. Upon their accession, a new sovereign is required by law to make and subscribe to the Oath of the Æthics. The monarch is usually crowned in Edmond Cathedral, normally by the Archbishop of Edmond. A coronation must be completed within the first 2 months of a sovereign's reign; indeed, the ceremony usually takes between 15 and 30 days of a monarch's ascension to the throne. When an individual ascends to the throne, it is expected they will reign until death.
