Yeah, but the following is not the description of a king:

"Should our folk require a sword, I am the sword that springs to their 
hands. Asked to heal, I cure their sick -- when I can": He isn't Christ, 
but he is a Christian figure. If they bring food, I eat it.  If they do 
not, I fast or find my own".

That's the Knights Templar (The Hospitalers), who protected pilgrims 
(lost travelers).
