No, the king can be anywhere on the board to be checkmated as long as it is put in check and has no legal move to get out of check. The king on the back line is subject to a very well known checkmate called the back rank mate. This commonly occurs after a king has castled and is behind the three protecting pawns and the other player moves a rook or queen to that back rank. The three pawns become a death trap for the king even though they are there to protect the king from a frontal assault. You should be aware of this tactic so you can both use it to win and defend against it so you don't lose.

When the king is checkmated can other pieces move?
No. The game ends right then. Even if any move could likewise cause a checkmate from the other side. The game is over the checkmated player has lost. No more moves.
If a king is in check and after it moves another piece takes it is the game over?
This hypothetical position would never come true, because when the king is in check, the king may not move to a square where it may be taken. This is called an illegal move. Therefore, the game is not over unless the person who is moving the king resigns or is checkmated. Also, a king may never move to a square where it may be captured. A king may not be captured; it may only be either stalemated or checkmated.

Which England monarchs claim a blood line from King Arthur?
Contrary to popular belief, no English or British monarchs claimed a direct line of ancestry stretching back to Arthur. King Arthur's only son, Mordred, had no issue, therefore there are no living descendants of King Arthur. They did, however, claim a line of descent stretching back to his sister, Morgause (aka Anna), who was the mother of Tegid, a direct ancestor of the Tudor kings of England and Wales.
