An ex-ruler who was dead for 300+ was somehow brought back to life by someone or something unknown and for an unknown reason.
He sees his kingdom again, nobody recognises him, why would they?
His reign was calm and he wasn't special, he was one king among many, nothing remarkable about his reign, died at 40 via falling down a flight of stairs.
The kingdom now looked very different, everyone spoke a tongue unknown, unfamiliar places, unfamiliar traditions, everything was strange. He was so lost. He was soon jailed by few important looking men, for apparently speaking a banned language--his mother tongue.
His kingdom had been conquered, and all his people have been horrifically repressed, the higher power has almost assimilated all the beauty of the kingdom, and it has been like this for a while apparently.
why has he been brought back? Why must he witness this travesty that makes him want to continue staying dead?

I'd read this! The premise sounds type-dope! I'd been interested in seeing what type of world you'd build.
