This puzzle is quite literal so, rather than keeping it boring I dressed it up a little. The trivia question is in the frame:
/* _\|/_
(o o)
+----oOO-{_}-OOo------------------------------------------+
|In English custom; |
|Is it the crown that makes the king or, is it his throne?|
+--------------------------------------------------------*/
Clue #1
The ASCII art is not part of the question.
Clue #2
As stated in the introduction the question is literal.
Clue #3
Since this is Puzzling.SE, it is possible that the question contains misdirection.
Clue #4
Some (I will not say how many) of the existing answers may be getting onto the right trail.
Clue #5
Makes is an interesting word: cause (something) to exist or come about; bring about. But, don't be misled even though it is literal - we are talking about the king in the context of the question, not where he came from.
