Excuse me?

"The Devils decided to keep the names of the Maous and let it be inherited to the ones with enormous powers. So the current Four Great Maous are the Ultimate-class Devils that are the successors of the first generation Maous that has inherited their names."

- Volume 2, Life 4

Also no they're not former King. Just because they're sealed doesn't mean their team is disband. Their team is still around. If Ise seals himself to fight a powerful enemy for several centuries alone, that doesn't mean Ise is a former Pawn, he is still Rias' Pawn. Similarly, it doesn't mean Ise's Peerage is gone, Xenovia and Asia are still his [Pieces].

Don't forget, Grayfia is still Sirzechs' [Queen]. And Falbium and Serafall's Queen who are outside the barrier are still their respective King's [Queen]. That doesn't change.
