Inside wild Texas town ruled by ‘creepy’ Viagra-gobbling tyrant King George, 86, as backstabbing rivals battle for the crown so he can retire and ‘die hard’ [Video]

A tiny Texas town that is home to the largest Renaissance festival in the US has been thrust into the spotlight after a new series charted the wild power struggle between its sex-obsessed ‘king’ and his rivals.

Around half a million festivalgoers descend on the theme park-like event at the town of Todd Mission over eight weekends from November to January every year.

Located 50 miles outside of Houston, about 130 residents who work at the festival live there year-round and are ruled over by founder George Coulam – better known to thousands as ‘King George’.  

But as the new hit HBO series ‘Ren Faire’ regales, the king, 86, now wants to retire so he can focus on art, gardening and ‘chasing p****’ – leading to a fierce battle for the crown he’s worn for 50 years.
