King tuts father died when tut was around 8 yrs old. Then the eldest brother of the royal family became king. The people of Egypt hated their new king because he only wanted to believe in one god, the god of the sun. The king got rid of all the temples that were dedicated to other gods. But this king soon died and tut became king around the age of 9.
His father was Akhenaten who was Egypt's only Pharaoh to worship a form of monotheism, and was assassination for breaking the laws of worship and tradition. Tutankhamun "King Tut" was forced into rule at an early age as he was the successor of his father.
When Tutankhamon was 10 years (or 9 year, many believes), hes farther, Akhenaton died, and tutankhamon was made king throught his young age. His royal guide, Aye or Eje, and the army leader Horemheb used him as a majoriet, to destroy the Aton-religion, that Akhenaton had made. The king also changed nam from Tutankhaton to Tutankhamon.
10 years after he was made a king, he died - maybe killed by Aye and Horemheb because he had started to get his own mening about how the land should be ruled.
Tutankhamun became pharaoh at age 9 for the simple reason that after his father Akhenaten (formerly Amenhotep IV) died, the potential heirs to the throne didn't last long. As nearly as scholars have been able to tell, Akhenaten's immediate successor was Smenkhkare - who only reigned 1 yer. Smenkhare is believed to have been followed by Ankhkheperure Neferneferuaten (a female pharoh) who reigned for two years and one month. If these lengths of rule are correct, Tut was around 5 or 6 when his father died and his two immediate predecessors were more or less regents ruling in his place until Tut was old enough to become the official pharaoh with his own regent being the defacto ruler until he got a little older. Like most nations of the time, Egypt tended to prefer male rulers unless they had a particularly forceful woman on the throne.
He was a king at 9 because his father died trying to displace the religion. By changing the amen religion to at hen religion and when he died someone tried to keep it like that. and doing so he destroyed temples so king tut at 9 years old had to fix it
His father and brother had already died and he was heir to the throne.
King Tuts father and brother died when he was young so he took over at age 9
He wasn't. He became king at age 13. His father had died (or was killed, no-one is really sure), so Tutanhkamon had to become Pharoah.
It's just that he was the youngest Egyptian king.

The main things King Tutankhamun did that showed strong leadership were to bring back the worship of his ancestral gods and to defend his lands against invaders. There is some debate as to whether King Tutankhamun himself or his advisors are most responsible for these actions, as he was only 9 when he became king and died at age 19.
