Alright, among my project is designing playing cards based off the historical views of the rulers represented by the suits. Traditionally the king of hearts was seen as being Charlemagne, the king of spades Julius Caesar, king of Clubs Alexander the Great, the king of diamonds was David, and the queen of hearts was Anne Boleyn. As you can see who the rest of the queens were has been lost to history as well as the identities of the Jacks.
I am thinking of doing Elizabeth I as queen of clubs, Boadicea as queen of spades, and Salome Alexandra as queen of diamonds. The jacks I am having a little bit more trouble with, so if anyone has any sugestions they will be welcome.
