: I find it interesting how a title often
: becomes "frozen" on the last of
: the line in a particular country. Thus,
: Nicholas II of Russia is always "The
: Tsar," as though there were never any
: other, and despite the fact that it wasn't
: even his official title.
True! And tsar actually means "king"!
