Which king? There are a number of kings in the Iliad on both sides of the fray.
The great king Agamemnon (of Mycenae) is the commander in chief of the Achaean muster. His brother Menelaus is king of Sparta. Nestor of Pylos, Idomeneus of Crete, and Diomedes of Argos are among the other Greek kings.
On the Trojan side, King Priam of Troy is commander in chief of the defending forces. The The Thracian king, Rhesus, is among his allies.
Helen is the daughter of Queen Leda of Sparta and Zeus, her brother by Zeus was Polydeuces who was considered the 'twin' of Caster; her sister by Leda and King Tyndareus was Clytaimnestra. She was married to Menelaus and kidnapped by her lover Paris.

Menelaus was the king of Sparta in Greece. He was the husband of Helen whose abduction by Prince Paris of Troy was the cause of the Trojan War.
Homer's epic tale about the Iliad is all about how Paris ( Troy Prince ) abducted Helen, who was actually Menelaus's wife ( King of Sparta .) It is mainly about how The Greeks start a war because they want Helen back, but Paris will not give her back. In the end the Greeks create a wooden horse and hide all their warriors in it. The Trojans think that it is a gift from them and they want to end the war, and they start dancing and singing and celebrating. At night the Greek warriors jump out and burn down Troy.
The Illiad is about the siege of Troy. The war started because Paris took Helen from her Spartan husband who is the King of Sparta.

According to Homer's Iliad, King Priam led Troy during the Trojan War
Leonidas I, King of Sparta, is the king who died in a battle protecting Sparta from the Persian War.
Currently there is no king of Sparta. The city of Sparta no longer exists. If it did exist it would be part of Greece and it would have a mayor, not a king.
