A Vampire Monarch is a vampire who rules over a U.S. state on the HBO original series True Blood. The state, which also forms the vampire monarch's Kingdom, or, in the case of former Vampire Queen of Louisiana Sophie-Anne Leclerq's territory, Queendom, is overseen by the vampire monarch, who also has authority over his or her vampire subjects. Although the territories are under complete reign by their individual monarch, they still remain under the jurisdiction of the Vampire Authority in the vampire hierarchy. __TOC__

- When you’ve got a large group of intelligent predators, there’s usually someone they have to answer to. With vampires, this is usually a queen or a king. Often, all the vampires in the world are descended from them. They sometimes come with spouse, though it's becoming more rare in recent years. They’re almost always the most powerful of their kind, because they have to have kept their throne somehow. If not, he or she almost certainly has the loyalty of those who are, or can control the minds of their progeny. Sometimes crosses over into Cute Monster Girl for the queens.

| - When you’ve got a large group of intelligent predators, there’s usually someone they have to answer to. With vampires, this is usually a queen or a king. Often, all the vampires in the world are descended from them. They sometimes come with spouse, though it's becoming more rare in recent years. They’re almost always the most powerful of their kind, because they have to have kept their throne somehow. If not, he or she almost certainly has the loyalty of those who are, or can control the minds of their progeny. Traditionally this was Cain and Abel, but thanks to Bram Stoker is more often Dracula these days. Often in fiction, when a vampire turns a person into one of them, the new vampire is subservient to the creator, resulting in a sort of hierarchical family tree of vampires owing their allegiance back to the originator, who rules them all. A common variant has it that destroying a given vampire reverts all those turned by him back to human (or just kills them). You will do what they say, or face dire consequences. Because after all, doesn’t a parent know what's best for their children? Sometimes crosses over into Cute Monster Girl for the queens. A Sub-Trope of Our Vampires Are Different, Hive Queen, Evil Matriarch and God Save Us From the Queen. Compare Vampires Are Rich, Monster Lord, The Necrocracy, and Supernatural Elite.
