Lift up your hearts and be glad, for I am in your midst, and am your advocate with the Father; and it is his good will to give you the kingdom. (D & C 19:5)

 After Jesus and others ordained men to be “kings,” then what? Was there some kind of organization, quorum or council to which they could belong? They shouldn’t be expected to just wander off with the title of “king” and not have any further affiliation with others holding the same title.

 Within the Catholic Church there are still a few rudiments from the original Church of Christ, but many practices and doctrines have been lost along its 2,000-year historical path. We wonder, how far along this path did the concept of kings and queens originate? One early and interesting account of kings comes from King Arthur.

 Historians have been chasing the story of King Arthur for many years, thus bringing to light considerable history and a variety of legends. Today it is difficult to separate true legend from glowing fiction. After the 12th century, the portrayal of King Arthur began to include new stories, legends and myths, and some were so bizarre and unbelievable, they caused many facts to then be considered as fiction. This seems to be common with many historical events.
