why is the King so tall?
Sort:
After all, the point is to protect him right? Being tall reveals your identity to the enemy, exposes you to flying misciles, etc.
He's a fighter, our blessed monarch, and how can he direct his troops if he can't see them clearly?
Duh what?
Compensating for something?
Jk it's probably so you can see him easier, as he is one of the... More important pecies.

As you can see below the Royals in some old sets were very well carved to fully represent the monarchs of the day. This pair is from a French set, pre-revolution one would guess.
