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"

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

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