What is the name of the king in Tangled?

The name of the king in Tangled is King Frederic.

King Frederic is Rapunzel’s biological father and the ruler of the kingdom where the story takes place. He and Queen Arianna lose their newborn daughter when Mother Gothel kidnaps Rapunzel and raises her in a hidden tower. The king and queen continue mourning her disappearance for years.

Each year on Rapunzel’s birthday, the royal family releases floating lanterns into the sky. The tradition becomes a visual symbol of their hope that their lost princess will someday return. When Rapunzel finally comes back, Frederic recognizes her through the emotional family reunion rather than through a major speaking role.

Viewers sometimes confuse the king’s name with names from other fairy tales or Disney films. King Frederic is not King Ferdinand, King Edward or King Leopold. In the Tangled franchise, he is specifically identified as Rapunzel’s father, while Queen Arianna is her mother.
