A very popular image in fictional works is to portray a king as tremendously fat. These characters may simply be corpulent, though more extreme examples will depict them as morbidly obese to the point of being unable to stand without help. This stems from the popular impression that a king spends his days sitting on his throne, feasting on the spoils from his taxation of the masses, or simply warming it while doing nothing. Depictions of monarchs and aristocrats as overweight is usually meant to convey that they're either hedonistic Fat Bastards who grow fat on the work of the oppressed lower classes, or benign-but-weak rulers who are helpless when their kingdoms are threatened.
Usually, this will be averted in the case of more actively heroic kings; obesity is most often when the king is corrupt (overlapping with Fat Bastard and Villainous Glutton), a peripheral force for good (in which case he's probably Big Fun but not especially badass), or a relaxed neutral arbiter.
This is Truth in Television to an extent. Given that getting enough to eat has been a problem for much of humanity's history, succumbing to the temptation to overindulge is a logical consequence of being the one in charge and owning most of the wealth and land. On a more general note, being well-fed was a symbol of high economic standing until around the middle of the 20th century, when decreasing scarcity of food began to make that a Discredited Trope.
Obviously, fat monarchs other than the traditional European model (sultans, emperors, etc.) also qualify for this trope.
This trope can sometimes be applied to queens, but it tends to happen less frequently. Whether this is because mocking women as fat is considered unseemly or due to the relative scarcity of fictional queens in general is left to the reader. A notable exception is the Insect Queen; if she's an egg-layer for the species, then the queen will probably be depicted as overweight to convey this aspect.
Name comes from both a pun on Oedipus Rex and adipose tissue (or "fat", as it is known to the layman).
Often related to Big Fun in the case of benevolent rulers or Villainous Glutton and Fat Bastard in regards to villains. Also, see Large and in Charge if they possess Stout Strength. Commonly overlapped with Too Important to Walk.
Contrast Royals Who Actually Do Something and Modest Royalty.

Oren, the River Zora Queen, is a rare female example in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Her huge bulk is actually a side effect of her Smooth Stone being stolen, which kept her power in check. Without it, she gorges on fish all day and grows bigger over time. Once the stone is returned, she slims down and is calmer.

Adventure Time:
The Earl of Lemongrab temporarily becomes this after he goes nuts, eats Lemongrab 2 and goes into full dictator mode.
Subverted with the Ice King – his robe gives this impression, but underneath he's actually ridiculously skinny.◊
There's also King Huge from "Walnuts & Rain", who is both a giant and very obese. He spends all his time watching a cuckoo clock he's obsessed with while being fed food by a line of human-sized servants.

Farouk, the last King of Egypt, note Technically second-to-last, but the last king, Farouk's son Fuad II, was an infant who took the throne after a coup forced Farouk to abdicate, and less than a year later the army ended up abolishing the monarchy and sending the kid to join his dad in Italy anyway. was famous in his time for his lavish parties and extraordinarily rich feasts; after his exile, he became enormously fat. Between this, Farouk's famous penchant for other elements of the high life (including ornate Louis XV-style furniture,note Still a popular and much-imitated style in Egypt, known as "Louis-Farouk" gambling, fine wine, and Scotch), and the Egyptian royal family's splendid palaces and wealth despite the fact that Egypt was economically underdeveloped, "King Farouk" became something of a byword for "living in extreme luxury among really poor people"; for instance, Hunter S. Thompson used it in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Harren Hoare of Forum of Thrones is a downplayed example. After his days of raiding were gone the moment he inherited the crown, he started to put on weight, even more in his advanced age. Currently, he is described as chunky and it is likely only a matter of time until he would become outright fat.

King Tom of Ni no Kuni is this trope combined with Cats Are Lazy, although his laziness is a result of being broken-hearted. The Cowlipha of Al-Mamoon is also fairly obese, as well as being enormous in size, which only adds to her looks. At first it seems like the king of the pig-themed city of Hammelin is this too, but it's just the pig-like armor he wears, while in reality he's a Long-Haired Pretty Boy.

Kurtz in Apocalypse Now, although this was absolutely not the original plan. Kurtz was supposed to be a robust and fit middle aged man, but Brando showed up for the role at least a hundred pounds overweight. Coppola compromised by keeping him in the shadows as much as possible, but it's often obvious how obese the man is. It actually works well as it highlights Kurtz has completely let himself go and his pretensions to being a proud soldier are so much wind, much like the Kurtz of the novel.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has two big kings. King Rhoam is the King of Hyrule and has a design similar to Daphnes Nohansen. There's also King Dorephan, who is the ruler of the Zoras. He is pretty darn fat in the gut, but is also very strong since he had scrapped a Guardian by picking it up and tossing it off a cliff. His huge body also makes sense since he looks like a whale shark.

Donkey Kong Country:
King K. Rool, the corpulent leader of the villainous Kremlings. Doesn't stop him from having the agility, strength and overall power to go toe to toe with the Kongs, though. It's no coincidence that he's consistently the biggest Kremling aroundnote aside from his gargantuan but peaceful younger brother, K. Lumsy. K. Rool is shown to be a bit slimmer after the first DKC game, but not by a whole lot. In his reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he can use his belly as a counterattack if the opponent hits him, and one of his Smashes is a belly flop.
Lord Fredrik, the Snowmad King in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is naturally large and blubbery as a walrus. He is also more than able to fight the protagonists hands-on, being alarmingly fast and skilled with ice-based magic.

Queen Bluegarden, the rotund librarian in Secret of Evermore who now serves as regent of "Gothica", a fictitious mash-up of medieval tropes. Like the other three rulers, she's been deposed an evil double who wants to rule the kingdom unchecked. Played for laughs when it's discovered that the impostor, while meaner-looking, is the exact same size and shape as the genuine article, unlike the other androids who are distinctly different from their counterparts. And so the game gets to plays around with the good and evil versions of the trope, with the real Bluegarden being treated as some sort of sex symbol by the King, and the evil Bluegarden crashing to her doom after trying (and failing) to Goomba Stomp the hero, causing the floor to give way and damage the castle foundations to the point of total collapse.

General Tara from The Phantom isn't technically royalty, but he proclaims himself to be. He orders Diana Palmer executed after she throws him with a Judo move in "Return to Tarakimo". Her crime? Threatening "his royal person." Seemingly spending most of his day seated on an enormous throne, the overfed despot also sports a kingly handlebar moustache and accompanying goatee, Jabba Table Manners, and smokes with an aristocratic cigarette holder, further accenting his vanity and basic sloth. Though he appears threatening, it's all an act – he's essentially a spoiled cowardly bully with a lot of brain-dead (but heavily armed) henchmen.

The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold:
Roya Orico is a lazy and obese king with constant food stains on his clothes, unconcerned with the the affairs of his Decadent Court, and only caring about his next meal or his menagerie of exotic pets. While he seems like a weak and apathetic character, it turns out that his refusal to be an active king is voluntary, in order to avoid a curse that plagues him. As for his great overweightness, it is noted to the result of his court's constant feasting: when the protagonist starts living at his palace, he goes from being amazed at Orico's weight gain, to being amazed at how Orico managed to not end up unable to walk with such rich meals every night. And as we later learn, his enlargement over the years, which is another side-effect of his curse, had a toll on his health, Orico now being diabetic.
His heir and half-brother, Teidez, is also noted to be a plump boy. Unlike Orico he has more natural talents at being a good ruler, but unfortunately he is also a Hot-Blooded youth, as well as quite gullible when it comes to the scheming noblemen surrounding him. In fact, it is noted that upon settling at Charion's Decadent Court, the courtiers prepare for him a diet of "all candy and no meat" to make him as "sodden and sickly" as Orico ; and after some times, while he grows as tall as his half-brother, it is noted that his round face hints at him becoming as broad as well in the future.

Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies: The Big Bad, King Gurumes, is fat because the cursed rubies he's torn up his kingdom to excavate have given him an insatiable appetite... as well as turning him into a giant monster.

The Occupation Saga: Discussed in Between Worlds Two when Jason observes a male Rakiri noble whose harem has encouraged him to fatten up, an old-school symbol of wealth. His own Rakiri lover Yaro agrees with Jason's guess that it's unhealthy like it would be for a human, but says that tradition still sometimes wins out over sense.

Discworld:
The last king of Ankh-Morpork (Lorenzo the Kind, evil SOB if there ever was one) was fat, as were Lords Winder and Snapcase, the previous Patricians before Lord Vetinari came to power.
The awkward to continuity appearance of the Patrician in The Colour of Magic.
Referenced in Interesting Times — Rincewind isn't sure what to expect of the Agatean Emperor, but "the mental picture had room for a big fat man with lots of rings". The actual Emperor is a very old man on his deathbed.
In Wyrd Sisters, Lady Felmet is a fat evil Queen. (Well, not officially a Queen, but she and her husband are in charge after a Klingon Promotion.)

Otha, the Emperor of Zemoch from The Elenium, is what happens when you take the villainous type of this trope and give him several centuries to perfect his laziness and corruption. He needs several strong men to carry his litter around (having long ago lost the ability to move under his own power) and is frequently described as a "slug" by the other characters.

In the Shadowbringers expansion of Final Fantasy XIV, Lord Vauthry certainly qualifies: his initial introduction has the Warrior of Light brought to him for a summary execution (of another citizen, for a change), and he's so spectacularly obese that he outmasses the ginormous lions surrounding his throne. His obvious status as a Psychopathic Manchild doesn't help one whit. A slightly more downplayed example is how many of the Mi'qote/Mystels in Eulmore are horrifyingly obese as well, a classical symptom of the Idle Rich.

Played up in an episode of DuckTales (1987). The heroes visit a remote island where the king is fat precisely because in their culture the fattest person is made king. Various attempts to buy a rare mask off him with Worthless Yellow Rocks fail – and then somebody thinks of trying to pay him with fattening processed foods instead. This episode was based on the Carl Barks story The Status Seeker, except Scrooge traded a crate of peppermint candies for the "Candy-Striped Ruby".

Undertale:
Although it is hard to tell due to the armor he wears, King Asgore is very large and wide. He subverts the usual connotations that come with this trope, however, as he is not only shown to be The Good King, but is in fact extremely strong, one of the strongest monsters in the Underground. In the Golden Ending, he can be seen wearing a pink shirt and blue pants, showing that he does have at least a beer belly.
Deltarune features the noticeably portly King of Spades as the Big Bad of Chapter 1. He is definitely a Fat Bastard, being a truly vile individual shown to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever (threatening to throw his only son — the lovable Minion with an F in Evil Lancer – off the top of his castle really didn't help win him any supporters).

Marvel Universe:
Spider-Man's enemy The Kingpin isn't a king, but he's the King of New York Crime, and he's bulky (some would say fat... but they'd be wrong). Taken to the extremes in the '90s Spider-Man animated series, where he is said to have body mass of which only 2% is fat. The remaining 350 pounds of flesh is stated to be solid muscle... and seeing as how he takes on giant robots with his bare hands, and wins, on several occasions, this may be true. While the comics aren't this drastic, he is more muscle and height than fat, working out every day in a private dojo and being a master sumo wrestler.
Iron Man has an old-school villain called King Midas whose gimmick was he loved gold (and riches) and was so fat and overweight he needed a hoverchair to get about, armed with LASERS.
X-Men villain the Shadow King, while not a real king, fits the trope exactly. When he dies in psychic battle he eventually possesses a New Mutant called Karma and, while in her body, eats it up to beyond morbidly obese.
Then there's Mojo, the leading media mogul (and de facto ruler) of Mojoworld. His weight is easily over 500 pounds, and he moves around on a mechanical carriage with a dozen legs.

Immortan Joe in Mad Max: Fury Road is quite fat, especially in comparison to his sickly and starving subjects. The other chieftains like The People Eater are obese to the point of grotesque. A major point of the film is Conspicuous Consumption; Joe talks a lot about not growing dependent, even though he and his personal cronies are clearly taking more than their fair share.

Among historical Targaryen kings as described in The World of Ice & Fire and Fire & Blood:
Viserys I is described as having had a bit of a potbelly even as a young man and having an amiable Big Fun kind of personality that made him into something of an ineffectual ruler, especially when compared to his predecessor Jaeharys I. He became morbidly obese in the later years of his life, to the extent that he couldn't actually climb the steps of the Iron Throne at all (not that this persuaded him to take a diet or exercise or anything). Unusually for this type of character, he quite clearly had diabetes.
Aegon IV (also known by the epithet "Aegon the Unworthy"). After a lifetime of recklessly indulging every possible appetite, he died at age forty-nine after being too fat to move for a while already.
Aegon IV's legitimate son and heir, Daeron II, was also noted for being potbellied, albeit in a good way; he was described as a man whose appearance radiated dignity and kindness. This ended up being used against him by his detractors, particularly those who supported his half-brother, Daemon I Blackfyre, a classically handsome hunk who was adept in battle, a far cry from the scholarly Daeron. Daeron still kicked him in the ass, though.

Dungeons & Dragons: Orcus, in addition to fulfilling the royalty factor thanks to the trope he named, was always depicted as obese before the third edition Book of Vile Darkness's statblock on him illustrated him as lean and muscular. In fact, one prerequisite to being one of his Thralls is to take the Willing Deformity Feat, and choose one of two option, one of which is Obesity, in order to emulate him. (The other option makes the Thrall look gaunt and sickly, emulating undead in general.) Since then, his level of girth has Depended on the Artist.

The Legend of Zelda:
King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Though he seems to be more the Stout Strength type rather than the Fat Bastard type.
Wind Waker Ganondorf also looks like he's gained some weight since Ocarina. Compared to characters like King Daphnes, Lenzo and Mila's father it looks more like Ganondorf's a Top-Heavy Guy rather than overweight. The huge robe he's wearing doesn't help matters.
The king from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is also somewhat like this.
As is the one from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
King Harkinian in the CD-I games. He probably ate too much DINNER.
King Zora in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Him scooting his fat ass out of the way so you can visit Jabu Jabu is an infamous moment thanks to the hilariously slow pace he does it at.
Oren, the River Zora Queen, is a rare female example in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Her huge bulk is actually a side effect of her Smooth Stone being stolen, which kept her power in check. Without it, she gorges on fish all day and grows bigger over time. Once the stone is returned, she slims down and is calmer.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has two big kings. King Rhoam is the King of Hyrule and has a design similar to Daphnes Nohansen. There's also King Dorephan, who is the ruler of the Zoras. He is pretty darn fat in the gut, but is also very strong since he had scrapped a Guardian by picking it up and tossing it off a cliff. His huge body also makes sense since he looks like a whale shark.

Tortall Universe: In Trickster's Choice, Hazarin, one of the princes who briefly becomes king of the Royally Screwed Up Copper Isles, is a real food-lover who finally dies of apoplexy. The palace healer-mages had seen this coming a long way off, but still have to flee so they won't be scapegoated by his crazy family for not warning him enough. Enforced trope: the prince's ghost explains that he purposely ate richly, because he figured it was better to die naturally, doing something he enjoyed than to suffer an inevitable and painful death at the hands of his scheming relatives.

One episode of Garfield and Friends had a folktale where Jon Arbuckle was depicted as an overweight king of an imaginary kingdom, but one day one of King Jonathan's servants grew jealous of him because of his gluttony and decides to make the king's life miserable by sending an orange cat with black stripes (who clearly resembles Garfield) to eat all of the king's food. In that story, the kingdom's yearly gold income depended on how heavy the one wearing the crown was and the evil Duke intended to decrease this income as part of a plot to become King (King Jonathan's weight used to bring enough gold he didn't need to make his subjects pay taxes). King Jonathan foiled the plot by placing the crown on the cat's head.

Earthworm Jim features The Evil Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-filled, Malformed, Slug-for-a-Butt as Jim's nemesis, who manages to be both this and Lean and Mean at the same time. No, really. Her upper torso is depicted as wizened and crone-like, but that comprises a miniscule percentage of her overall size. The rest of her is an enormous, obese grub-like thing, and is so huge she can't even move properly under her own power. Somehow, she intended to wear Jim's Super Suit to conquer the galaxy. How she intended to fit inside it is anyone's guess.

Fables: Mayor King Cole of Fabletown is, as his story goes, "a very large king of a very small kingdom". Noticeably, when reduced to hiding in a cave with a handful of his subjects, he divides the food evenly among everyone according to size and leaves no share for himself. (Not that he loses any weight from starving.)

Super Mario Bros.:
Queen Bean in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga is an unusual example of an adipose rex that is both female and friendly.
King Bowser is also on the heavy side, though he is quite a bit more athletic than most of these examples. He's not exactly overweight, though. He's a huge turtle-demon-thing – he weighs a lot because he's simply very, very big. Give yourself a playthrough of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and you know it's all muscle, baby. Except for that one time after Fawful's feast...
The Elder Princess Shroob in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time is quite a bit wider than her little sister... though like Bowser, her impressive strength would seem to suggest a naturally stocky build rather than obesity.

Deltarune features the noticeably portly King of Spades as the Big Bad of Chapter 1. He is definitely a Fat Bastard, being a truly vile individual shown to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever (threatening to throw his only son — the lovable Minion with an F in Evil Lancer – off the top of his castle really didn't help win him any supporters).

In The Elder Scrolls series backstory, Emperor Antiochus Septim I was famously "obese and lecherous". It was the latter of these two traits which caused the most trouble, causing a Succession Crisis and leading to the War of the Red Diamond after his death. His nephew Pelagius III, better known as Pelagius the Mad, also had a tendency to shift in weight between morbidly obese and deathly thin thanks to his mental instability.

Just like in the books, King Robert Baratheon has clearly let himself go since taking the throne (he's based very much on King Edward IV of England, a hedonist of epic proportions who allowed himself to get fat when there were no more Lancasters to fight, who is mentioned below). Basically, his Badass Decay into one of these is symbolic of how unsuited the kingly life is for him. And like in the books, Robert is described as having been very handsome in his youth, to the point that Cersei actually was willing to give him a chance when they first got married, only for it to sour quickly when it became clear she would never live up to Lyanna Stark. This leads to an amusing exchange where the first thing he says upon seeing Ned Stark for the first time in several years, is to jokingly accuse him of this.

One Piece: Wapol has a special power, courtesy of the Munch-Munch Fruit, and that ability is the ability to eat absolutely anything, and either manipulate it as he sees fit or, for a time, gain its properties. He has to eat constantly and is appropriately obese. Though there is a subversion near the end of the arc he appears in, where he eats himself to become thin and fit through smaller gaps.

The Bible has King Eglon of Moab, (Judges 3:12-30), making this trope Older Than Feudalism: He's oppressing Israel, so God sends Ehud the left-handed judge to kill him, with Ehud concealing a sword on his right thigh. The text says: "Now Eglon was a very stout man." This becomes squicky hilarity when Ehud stabs Eglon, without pulling the sword back out, and the sword disappears under all of the fat.

In Necromunda, the mutant outcasts known as Scavvies barely survive scraping a living in the worst parts of the Underhive and therefore consider a paunch to be a sign of power and success. Redwart, the self-proclaimed Scavvy King has the largest paunch of any Scavvy.

Joseph Stalin becomes more and more like this in Twilight of the Red Tsar, due to his stroke and generally declining health preventing him from losing weight. Still doesn't get in the way of him committing genocide.

Spider-Man's enemy The Kingpin isn't a king, but he's the King of New York Crime, and he's bulky (some would say fat... but they'd be wrong). Taken to the extremes in the '90s Spider-Man animated series, where he is said to have body mass of which only 2% is fat. The remaining 350 pounds of flesh is stated to be solid muscle... and seeing as how he takes on giant robots with his bare hands, and wins, on several occasions, this may be true. While the comics aren't this drastic, he is more muscle and height than fat, working out every day in a private dojo and being a master sumo wrestler.

King Kash-Kash from Les Légendaires is this, despite being an Elf, a species where this characteristic is rather rare. Surprisingly, he is actually a Bunny-Ears Lawyer and a Reasonable Authority Figure, especially compared to his more strict, almost Knight Templar Captain Shamira.

In Warhammer the size of an Ogre’s belly is a sign of wealth and power, meaning that they are led by massive and powerful Tyrants. These Tyrants use their strength to appropriate the largest share of food and other provisions, leading them to grow fat on the spoils of war. Being the king of all Ogres, Greasus Goldtooth is the largest of all and has to be carried into battle by a living throne of Gnoblars.

Chief Vitalstatistix from Asterix. Given the rather luscious banquets that they have every so often (at least once an adventure) it is not hard to see where it comes from. Everyone gets a seat, he just seems to enjoy it more than most. Even then, it doesn't stop him from kicking ass when properly motivated. Compared to Obélix, he may look slim...

The Sultan in Aladdin is perhaps the best-known example of the "fat and jolly sultan" in Western media. He's based on the Sultan of Basra in The Thief of Bagdad, who while fat is not actually a particularly extreme example of this trope; he's only a little paunchy and only a little shorter than the Lean and Mean Grand Vizier villain. As opposed to the Sultan of Agrabah, who is half the height of his even Leaner (and about equally Mean) Grand Vizier villain.

King Dedede from Kirby tends to be rather excessive in size, being not only a penguinish... thing... but also due to having just as huge of an appetite as Kirby. In Star Allies, this is inverted halfway through his boss fight when he grows enormous muscles under the influence of the Jamba Heart.

Troll king Thibault from Malediction Trilogy is morbidly obese. However, this does not seem to influence him very much, as his magical powers are great and he can use a heavy iron spear proficiently. At one point his son Tristan calls him upon it, accusing him of feasting while his subjects are starving. But while he is a Chess Master and does many nasty things to his subjects, he is not necessarily evil.

Star Wars Legends established that Hutts (as in Jabba), whose Hat is being crime lords, frequently become fatter the more powerful they become, to the point where they sometimes become unable to move and must rely on antigravity sleds. The inverse is also true: Hutts afflicted with a congenital wasting disease are ostracized. Hutts also have a habit of buying slaves only to make them lay around them, gorging, and getting "more attractive" (i.e. fatter) as a sign of wealth and a decadent indulgence of their own. Yarna d' al' Gargan, Jabba's personal fat-dancer (the large, multi-breasted dancer in his palace in Return of the Jedi), is actually an indentured servant contracted because her species have the ability to instantly get fatter by absorbing water into their body fat. Jabba claimed she resembled his mother, sometimes. All of this is explained in her tale, in Tales from Jabba's Palace.

In How to Train Your Dragon, the chief of Berk is known as Stoick the Vast. He's tall and strong as well, but middle-aged spread has set in. The chiefs and their families are described as "royalty" and it's commented that most of the adult Vikings think this is the right physique for a mature hero. There's also the decadent and greedy dragon-eating Fat Consul who rules Fort Sinister, so obese he can barely move, and UG the Uglithug chief, both of whom are FatBastards. Interestingly, the two characters who actually use the title of "King" are intimidatingly ripped in one case, and short and scrawny in the other.

In fact, when he tried courting Worf's nurse in their youth, she rejected him because he was too fat – and when he comments that it's good to see her again, she just says that he's still fat.
