I try to find the sources where lions are called king or lord. The earliest sources I found so far is The Fables of Æsop.

• KING: 1921, translation by T. James and G.F. Townsend. The Kingdom of the Lion: "The beasts of the field and forest had a Lion as their king."(wikisource: An argosy of fables/Æsop)
• LORD OF THE BEASTS: 1922, translation by Joseph Jacobs. The Lion, the Fox, and the Beasts: "a Calf came up to receive the last wishes of the Lord of the Beasts."(wikisource:The_Fables_of_Æsop_(Jacobs)/The_Lion,_the_Fox,_and_the_Beasts)
