 Alexander the king of.....clubs
Did you know? *Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history.
Spades - King David
Clubs - Alexander the Great,
Hearts - Charlemagne
Diamonds - Julius Caesar. Quote: | The four modern suites evolved in fifteenth century France. Spades represented the state, hearts the church, diamonds signified merchants, and clubs, farmers. The kings were modelled after David (Israel), spades; Alexander the Great (Greece), clubs; Julius Caesar (Rome), diamonds; and Charlemagne (Holy Roman Empire), clubs. | -The Everything Poker Strategy Book, John Wenzel, p6 Quote: |
Rouen courts are traditionally named as follows: the kings of spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs are David, Charles (Charlemagne), Caesar and Alexander, respectively.
