Calling yourself a kind doesn’t make you a king. Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden, he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,
oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan does.

Calling yourself king doesn't make you king. Spending 10 years at war, plotting its conclusion, spending 10 more years sailing home, being the only one to make it back alive, disguising yourself before killing your unwanted houseguests, and then correctly answering your wife's riddle makes you king.
