Description

"I shall go from a corruptible to an incorruptible Crown, where no disturbance can be."
~ King Charles I

An appropriation of King Charles I, Anonymous, expanded to include Tsar Nikolay II of Russia and King Louis XVI of the French. There are multiple interpretations of this piece - the three rulers each represent their own seperate branches of Christianity: Protestantism, Orthodoxy, and Catholicism. Above, their earthly crowns are removed by the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The victims of Revolution have received their Eternal Sovereign.

God save the king!
Vive le roi!
Bozhe tsarya khrani!

If you want to expand on it, put Haile Selassie I of the Coptic branch (Monophysitism) and whoever would be appropriate to the Syriac branch (Nestorianism) ;)!

I believe it should have been Tsar (as in Tsaritsyn/Tsar Bomba :XD:) Nicholas II, but no one is REALLY consistent with those… You’ve had it even spelled Czar (which is mind you a word for a magic spell in Slavic tongues) or Tzar (as in that one game, in case you've heard :P).
God save the King!

I believe would be more appropriate too 😉! In general the proper transcription and transliteration is sort of problematic, but I can get in touch to that one Russo-Polish phrasebook which used somesort of a latinka alphabet for them ^^;.
