This glitch is not unique to ACOK. But it does happen for me almost every time I play. You do not need to be a king - I never do that - they just appear, sometimes headless sometimes not. For me they appear as peasants but if i speak to them they have the dialog of a pretender to the throne of one of the factions. They sometimes are too much and i also quit that playthru. But sometimes they are helpful in vacuuming up all the local bandits - they can't kill him and he looks an easy target - so there will be battle of hundreds vs. this one guy. he gets their prisoners so eventually will form an army himself. fun for all.
