Granted I'm not quite sold on Aymeric being a King either if I'm honest.

Pity SE didn't develop a decent Priest to take up the position of Archbishop.
The funny thing is that Ishgard is currenly not a Kingdom though. It was a theocracy prior to the events of the game (1.0 likely included) and is only now in the process of metamorphosis into a kingdom.
