Fave Narnian king

[she-elfwarrior19]

I love every king that ruled in Narnia. But i have a fave,
Tirian, he is brave, strong, loyal, and the way Lewis' described him made Tirian even more... oh i dunno. But the way he is described, he sounds so hotttttt! lol. So who is yer fave king?

[waterhogboy]

King Frank is my fave - cos he did a great job (I bet) without any experience, training or simply because he was son of previous ruler. Also, he wouldn't have had reason to pompous - just a down-to-earth, likeable cabbie.

I think I like Tirian the most, too. He was in a terrible situation seeing his kingdom unravel but he remained faithful to the end. In my opinion, his experience was the most trying.

[holyboy]

My favorite king is...King Peter! He was able to get rid of the greatest risk in Narnia of his time, and was also able to lead Narnia through a Golden Age. That's what I think is important :D

[she-elfwarrior19]

ya, i love everyone on Narnia, but i love Tirian the most(of the kings). He just seems like such a nice and great guy.

[perpetualpoetry]

I think my favourite king is Peter... that might change though. I'm still in the process of rereading the books. :D

[rosymole]

The ones we know of all have good points, but I think, depsite that I too would probably be mooning around after Tirian if I knew him, will have to go with WHB - Frank was the original and best..for all the reasons stated. I think not really knowing all the pomp and ceremony that affected the latter kings would have made him a far more considerate ruler.
*wonders why no one's mentioned Caspian yet?*

[holyboy]

*wonders why no one's mentioned Caspian yet?*

I know I didn't say Caspian because he wasn't a very strong king because he he needed help from our world 3 times. If he was a strong king, then he wouldn't need help from the kids so many times and found a way to solve the problems himself.

[borntofly]

King Frank! He's so humble and gentle, and ready to do Aslan's will with pleasure. I like Caspian as well, and Tirian (not becasue of the description, mind you) he's brave and perseveres in trouble. Me likee King Peter too.

[Narnian Jedi]

I know I didn't say Caspian because he wasn't a very strong king because he he needed help from our world 3 times. If he was a strong king, then he wouldn't need help from the kids so many times and found a way to solve the problems himself.

I was so sad the way Caspian turned out in the Silver Chair. I guess I like kings that aren't so comical and frail, you know? And in VTD, he almost left his kingdom and let his men down. I felt so bad for him. Still like him though, but not as much as the others.

[Gryphon]

oooo ooo TIRIAN! I LOVE TIRIAN! HE IS SO COOL! AND SMART! AND THAT PERSONALITY TEST THINGY SAID I WAS HIM! HE DID LIKE EVERYTHING IN THE LAST BATTLE THAT I EXPECTED HIM TO DO TOO. ISN'T THAT CRAZY?!? :D

This is true about Caspian. However, I think he did great in bringing back the old Narnia when he first took over as King. He was young and didn't know anything about being a king. But he took a chance and chose to leave the life he knew and find any old narnians he could find. He did have to ask for help from our world, but at least he was couragious enough to take the change. Even though it could have ended in bad.

[Hope96]

THAT PERSONALITY TEST THINGY SAID I WAS HIM! CRAZY?!? :D

ME too!!! I liked the Aslan banner better that's why I have it on my signature. But the test said I was Tirian! :)

[Valin Kenobi]

*waves to Narnian Jedi* ;) I love your avatar!

For some reason I've always been fond of the King from Archenland in HHB.

Hey Valin Kenobi (Love your name, anything with Kenobi sounds nice...:D and thanks, Calvin & Hobbes is the best..)

That's right! King Lune, Yeah he's very brave. It's such a great moment when he realized Shasta is his long-lost son.

[Tarkheena_Finduilas22]

Hmmmmm, Either Tirian or Cor/Shasta. Bet he was a good king.

Yeah, I thought Tirian hot too! He's awesome.

[she-elfwarrior19]

lol Tarky- im glad that theres another person who thought Tirian was hot to lol!- ya i forgot about king lune- he was pretty cool to.

[Hwin_46]

I was going to say Cor/Corrin as a tie (yes, only one was a King, but Corrin's a riot). However, I will mention Rilian (sorry if I misspell things), son of Caspian the tenth. Tirian speaks of him highly too in The Last Battle.

[inkspot]

King Frank! I love King Frank. I think I had a dream about him last night. The thing is, he was nice to his horse even when they were on earth, and he seemed a very nice, sensible fellow.

[she-elfwarrior19]

king frank,king frank, ahhhhh yes that man. I almost forgot, there are so many kings in narnia lol, sometimes its hard to remeber them all lol.

[inkspot]

king frank,king frank, ahhhhh yes that man. I almost forgot, there are so many kings in narnia lol, sometimes its hard to remeber them all lol.
Not remember the first king of Narnia? I think King Frank and Queen Helen were the ones who brought the celebration of Christmas to Narnia, because they didn't have a baby in a manger and all that in Narnia, but they had Frank and Helen, who were obviously Anglicans.

[Tsukiko]

I love every king that ruled in Narnia. But i have a fave,
Tirian, he is brave, strong, loyal, and the way Lewis' described him made Tirian even more... oh i dunno. But the way he is described, he sounds so hotttttt! lol. So who is yer fave king?

omgh..thats exaclty how I feel about Tirian too...heh..:D I love how he was loyal to Aslan in LB..and he is my favorite Narnia character (along with Lucy) overall.

and Rilian and Peter are great ones also.

What test?? :D

I love Caspian, and will always love him!!! :D i felt so sad when he died...and almos t cryed when he talked to Eustace in the hill when he was about to liv Narnia! :o

[Tsukiko]

its a quizz on Narniaweb I think to see which charatcer you are.

I got Jill.

[~Lava~]

Mesah not sure.

[Lady Theresa]

That's hard but when it comes down to it, it would have to be Aslan (hehe) followed of course by King Peter the Magnificent and King Caspian the Tenth!!!:D :D

[Tsukiko]

^Oh yeah! I forgot about the Highest of all High Kings of Narnia. Aslan!

[supermeulen]

Caspian X.

[Tsukiko]

Anybody like King Gale? :D c'mon..he defeated A Dragon!

[DaydreamBeliever]

I liked Tirian best because he the last King and therefore,imo had the toughest time to reign.

[MrBob]

Three choices:

King Frank. He was the first king and was so important. It was his benevolence in Narnia's infancy that led to good kings and queens to follow.

King Lune. Archenland was a part of Narnia, therefore he was a Narnian king. He seemed a very down-to-earth (Or down-to-Narnia) man.

King Tirian. He was the last king and was willing to sacrifice himself if it meant his foe would also die.

MrBob

[The First Joke]

king frank all the way

[Tsukiko]

King Lune. Archenland was a part of Narnia, therefore he was a Narnian king. He seemed a very down-to-earth (Or down-to-Narnia) man.



Archenland was a part of Narnia? Like...how the Lone Islands are part of Narnia? I always thought Archen was its own land and Narnia and Archenland were allies.

[supermeulen]

I think you were right. Archenland is just an ally. The Lone Islands are part of Narnia.

[Samwise Gamgee]

King Caspian X and King Tirian, are my two favorites of all the rulers of Narnia.

[Neevil]

I love Caspian. He is definately my favorite Narnian king. I also like Edmund, and Tirian. But Capsian is the coolest.

[Lila]

King Peter, King Caspian, King Ed. :D

[MrBob]

"Archenland was a part of Narnia?"

TrueNarnian, if I may quote from the Venerable Aslan:

(talking to Frank and Helen, newly crowned as the first King and Queen)

Rise up King and Queen of Narnia, father and mother of many kings that shall be in Narnia and the Isles and Archenland.

MrBob

[Tsukiko]

I know that the start ruling of the Kings and Queens of Archenland were Narnians, but then, I still dont see Archenland as like a land of Narnia, as how the Lone Islands actually belong to Narnia.

[Into the Wardrobe]

My favorite Narnian King...wow, that's a tough one. Aslan is on top above them, but I'd have to say Peter.

Frank and Tirian were great as well and Edmund was all that, but as far as kings go, I'm partial to Peter.

[terbidoodles]

i like edmund the best because he came from a really low point - betraying his siblings and all narnia - but bounced back through the help of Aslan and became king edmund the just.

[rains1313]

I am kind of tied between King Peter and Prince/King Caspian. I love Peter because he helped to destroy the White Witch and ruled Narnia so well for the time the Pevensies were there. I love Prince/King Caspian because he brought Narnia back to its glory and also ruled well.

Definately though, each king had their own special way of adding to Narnia and deserves the crown they wore/wear.

[Hylian Princess]

Caspian X has always been my favorite Narnian king :)

[~Lava~]

Aside from Peter and Ed, Tirian is my favorite.

[lazgen]

anyone know the meaning of rilian? we are considering rilian as a baby name.

in joy

[Lucy most Valiant]

ohhh is so hard to choose a favorite! I guess Tirian because he was the last king and loved Narnia so deeply and had to see its distruction. But I also really like Edmund because of his character. I always imagined him to be a very solemn, wise, majestic king.

[queenaravis707]

Wow... I would have to say King Tirian too... he was such a loyal guy to Jewel, to Narnia, to Jill and Eustace, and to Aslan. He was really brave too. I also like High King Peter. So its a tie between those two.

[Tsukiko]

King Tirian!!! King Tirian!!

I love him.
=D
He has always been my favorite Narnia character ever since I first read The Last Battle.
Plus TLB is my favorite out of the series. ^^

Oh man!
Now I feel like rereading it again...:p

Hmmm... I've been having a look on name sites and nothing comes up for Rillian I'm afraid. I believe it was just an invention by Lewis, though I may be wrong.

However, the word 'rill' is an English word meaning 'shallow incision into soil resulting from erosion by overland flow that has been focused into a thin thread by soil surface roughness.' I looked up in an OE dictionary a meaning for 'ril' and there was nothing there.

Looks like it's a purely poetic name with no meaning I'm afraid!! A nice one though

I looked up Rilian on www.behindthename.com and Rilian is there under "submitted" names, which means they have no understood meaning, but they have invented meaning or significance. (The submitted names are either invented by parents or found in literature, as Rilian was). If you (lazgen) love the name Rilian, by all means use it, even if your only "meaning" is the one submitted on the website:
"The captured prince held under the influence of an evil witch (and under the ground) in CS Lewis' book The Silver Chair."
:)

In answer to the original question--My favorite Narnian kings are Edmund, especially as he is portrayed in HHB, and Tirian.

[Eärendil the Mariner]

I love them all, but I think my favorite is King Edmund.

[lazgen]

thank you for your replies on the meaning of rilian.
we would put tirian on the list, but we already have a thorin (pronounced torin) and i would not be able to keep them straight.

we are rooting for a girl though, since we have 3 boys already and have never gotten a chance to use our girl name...eowyn.

[CyberCat]

My personal fav has to be King Aslan! True king of Narnia!

Close runners up would be King Caspian, King Peter, and King Cor

That's the plus with Tolkien--all his characters have a MEANING attached already because of the depth of his work. And it's more recognizable than ever now that the movies are so well known. People don't think it's "weird" to name your children after book and movie characters! :D I know I will!
