He moves two spaces if castling on his own side, and three if castling on the queen's side.
In chess, the King can move in any direction, but only one square at a time. The king can't move in to check, and can move two square only when castling.
One in any direction per turn
There are 64 spaces on a standard chess board.
Kings in chess are different than kings in feudalism because in feudalism, the king has ultimate power, even though he may sometimes be poor because he gave out too many fiefs to the knights in exchange for protection. However, in chess, the king has almost no power at all; he can only move one space at a time unless the rook is Castling it. (Castling is when one rook has not moved any spaces at all yet, so the king is allowed one extra square to move.) It's also different because the Rook (or Castle) did not really 'attack' people, it just helped defend the king and serfs. (serfs are people almost like slaves, but they own a house and work on a fief for a knight. Their land can never be taken away from them.)
He can move any number of times, but only two square per turn, and in any direction.
In chess a king can move one space in any direction (as long as the spaces are unimpeded and won't place the king in check or checkmate), so the king can potentially make 8 moves (once in any direction) during any turn.
