considering that many of these tales have English roots and were brought over by the first settlers, chances are any Appalachian tale with a king in it was originally an English folk tale.

The presence of a king in old Appalachian folktales likely reflects the influence of European folklore and the transmission of stories brought over by early settlers from places where monarchy was prevalent. The figure of the king might also serve as a symbol of authority and power in the context of the stories.
