Yes, Isaiah had a close relationship with King Uzziah and served as his advisor. This closeness is evident in the biblical account of Isaiah’s call to prophethood, where he recounts his vision of the Lord in the year King Uzziah died.
Uziah was a righteous king of Judah during the time of the Prophets Isaiah, Amos and Hosea. He reigned for 52 years. Traditional chronology places his reign around 620 to 570 BCE, while non-traditional opinions place him at an earlier time. See also:
possibly, Amaziah (father of Uzziah) and Amoz (father of Isaiah) are said to be brothers. Which would make king Uzziah and Isaiah the prophet cousins.
Tradition states that the father of Isaiah was the brother of King Amatziah (Talmud, Megillah 14b), meaning that Isaiah and Uziah were first cousins.
Starting in Isaiah 1:1 the book addresses Judah and Jerusalem with warnings and prophecies from the time of King Uzziah (740 B.C.) to the time of Hezekiah (681 B.C.) leading up to the Babylonian captivity.
The main characters in The Book of Isaiah are the prophet Isaiah, King Ahaz, King Hezekiah, and the people of Judah and Jerusalem. Isaiah prophesies about the coming judgment on Israel, the restoration of God's people, and the future Messiah.
The word 'woe' is used a total of 6 times in the book of Isaiah.
It is believed that Isaiah was martyred by being sawn in half with a wooden saw during the reign of King Manasseh. This account is not found in the Bible but is mentioned in the Jewish tradition and early Christian writings.
Isaiah advised the kings of Judah, particularly during the time of King Hezekiah. He delivered messages from God calling for repentance, warning of impending judgment, and reassuring them of God's faithfulness. His prophecies often emphasized the importance of trusting in God rather than relying on human alliances or military strength.
I believe it was the King Uzziah.
Isaiah was a respected, and trusted seer at the court of King Hezekiah. He held that post from 754 until 707 BCE, serving a total of 47 years under the reigns of King Uzziah, King Jotham, King Ahaz, as well as King Hezekiah.
Starting in Isaiah 1:1 the book addresses Judah and Jerusalem with warnings and prophecies from the time of King Uzziah (740 B.C.) to the time of Hezekiah (681 B.C.) leading up to the Babylonian captivity.

According to Old Testament professor, missionary and archaeologist Edwin R. Thiele, King Uzziah of Judah died in either 740 or 739 BCE(BC).
No. It was King Uzziah, King of Judah. (2 Chronicles 26:16-21)
He died on June 28, 783 BC
Amos prophesied when Uzziah was king in Judea and Jeroboam was king in Israel. Amos 1:1 (NKJV) The words of Amos, who was among the sheepbreeders of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. Uzziah was king over Judah from 792 to 740 B.C. and Jeroboam was king of Israel 793 to 753 B.C.
King Uzziah ( 2 Chron 26) is believed to have reigned for 52 yr, from ~BC 791 to ~BC 739, but this is disputed by Assyrian records which say BC 783 to BC 742.
Although the exact date is unknown, an estimation can be made. Isaiah was a prophet to 4 successive kings of Judah: Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah.Isa 1:1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.Uzziah reigned for 52 years from 790-739BC, but he was struck with leprousy by God as punishment for trying to usurp the duties of the priests unto himself. This meant he was not allowed public contact, and his son Jotham therefore had to become king. Jotham ruled 750-731BC, so the latest possible year Isaiah could have been a prophet to Uzziah before the co-regency with Jotham is 749BC. Tradition says that Isaiah was cut in two with a wooden saw while he was hiding in a tree-trunk by troops of King Manasseh (695-642BC), so the earliest possible date for his death is 695BC. This makes the minimum time period possible for Isaiah's prophetic life 749-695BC, or 44 years. It is safe to assume he was 30 when he started, because (many years later) the Pharisees would not allow anyone to be a rabbi or a member of the Sanhedrin until they were 30. This would make him a minimum of 74 years old when he died, which is a credible age, and would make the latest Isaiah could be born around about 770BC. (Since the actual date is unknown all this is based on assumptions, but you have to start somewhere).
