#REDIRECT high king
A high king is a Monarch who holds a position of seniority over a group of other kings. Rulers who have been termed "high king" (either by their contemporaries or by modern observers) include: *Various ancient Celt rulers, notably the High King of Ireland. Some other monarchs, such as King Arthur, Uther Pendragon, and Vortigern, have been termed "High King of Britain" in some accounts. *The ruler of the Picts. *The ruler of Scotland. *Some Ancient Greece rulers, such as Agamemnon (see anax). *The most powerful king of the various Etruscan civilization city-states. Compare Overlord. The Yang di-Pertuan Agong in Malaysia could probably be seen as a "high king", as he is selected from among nine Malay rulers (seven Sultans, a Raja, and a Yang di-Pertuan Besar) by election \de facto? on a rotational basis. In practice, however, the term "high king" is rarely applied to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. The Hindi titles "Maharaja", Maharao, Maharana (used by some India rulers), which translate as Great King, and "Rulers of Korea" (used by some Korea rulers) could possibly be rendered as "high king", although "great king" is perhaps more accurate. Roughly equivalent, or rather a tac higher, are various more imperial titles that translate as ''King of Kings'', such as "Shahanshah" (used by Persian Empire), Negus negorum. Titles
