...journey of George V. who founded the House of Windsor. That deed stands imperishably in history with such monoliths as PLANTAGENET. The late King was born Saxe-Coburg-and-Gotha. Very unobtrusively in His Majesty's funeral escort this week moved His Royal Highness Leopold Charles Edward George Albert, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-and-Gotha in Germany, Prince Royal of Great Britain and Ireland and a Gruppenführer of Nazi Storm Troops...

...scene of accidents. Target of two clumsy would-be assassins, survivor of two duels, a railway bridge wreck and several motoring mishaps; the statesman who was the responsible Minister of Interior when scandalously inadequate police protection made possible the assassination of King Alexander of Yugoslavia on French soil, M.
