D uRITANIA was not England, or the
N quarrel between Duke Michael
and Rudolf Rassendyu- could not
have gone on. with the remarkable
incidents which marked it. without
more public notice being directed TO
it It is perhaps as strange a thing
as has ever been in the history Of
a country that the kings brother and
the kings personator, in a time Of
profound peace. near a placid, undis-
turbed country town, under semblance
OF amity. should wage q desperate
war for the person and life OF the
king.
Yet such was the struggle between
Black Michael apd Rudolf Rassendyil,
both OF the royal house Of Elphberg,
but Of very differing antecedents. This
one was wei known to the royal
palace at Strelsau. the other was at
home az No. 3o5 Park lane, London.
