Well the official song only puts him at 6'3"

So I'm going to take that to mean that the myth was started by a well versed short king

Edit, after double checking the Lyrics of Disney's "Hey Paul", the line actually says "63 axe handles high"

Googling the average axe handle length I got 35 inches, which puts him at 183 ft nd 9 inches tall

If you measure axe handles by girth, that's still about 6'3"
