What the hell were the priveleges of the kings? I studied the role of kings n shit and i could find no where what the priveleges of Spartan kings were so i thought meh fug it, we prob wont get a Q on it...

And low and behold!

I just said that they were priveleged to have a dignified funeral whereby the whole country lamented his death and no public office was held for ten days after?

things like sacraficed animal skins
double portions at meals
people stood when they walked in at dinner
got things paid for even though independantly wealthy
thats all i can think of right now
but there are way more

Lycurgus permitted a King to take a piglet from every sow's litter...In addition a pool near his residence supplies plenty of water...And everyone must rise from their place for the king, except ephors from their chairs of office...Nothing much above the level of private citizens - Xenophon
