The punishment for killing a king, often referred to as regicide, historically varies by jurisdiction and time period, but it is typically severe, often resulting in execution. Common methods included hanging, beheading, or other forms of capital punishment. In some cultures, regicide was considered an even greater crime due to the perceived divine right of kings, leading to additional torturous penalties or public humiliation. The exact consequences would depend on the legal system and societal norms of the time.
