The King's Sorrow

The King's Sorrow

by Sara Arjmand

King of Hearts in Deck , Sometime called Suicide king, is Charles the great who is entering a sword inside his head. The Story has it that after the death of two of three sons, Charles The Great, Emperor of Romans began to show signs of mental imbalance. In reality Charles died in bed from illness and depression but there are a lot of stories around his death. According one story he was fiddling with a deck of cards during his depression period and obsessed with the idea that number 13 brings him bad luck. Of course he was declared insane, abdicated and his son took his place. One day, several months after the end of his reign, one of the court doctors reached his rooms and find him standing in the middle of the room, wielding a massive sword. Before the doctor could do anything, the king said: They have shown me the truth of thirteen, and it is not the preserve of mortal eyes. Without hesitation the king had his head pierced by the blade (between his ear and his temple).
