Also: even in a fantasy AU, Tony Stark is not King. His father had some dark secret that would have stopped him being admitted to polite society, and he's fabulously wealthy by his own efforts, not taxes or rent. Every era has its weapons and power sources, and the Starks master them. That doesn't translate to king.
Steve has a bit of a Sword in the Stone thing going on with growing up poor and scrawny and getting chosen, but he's no real fit for inherited power either, given the immigrant background.
And a fantasy au, even a medieval ish one, does not actually require hereditary kings. I mean, elections have been a thing for a really long time, even if the details vary a lot. And sometimes king wasnt even the title.
