The king of Portugal used to call
himself king of Portugal and Algarve,
seigneur of Guinea and of the naviga-

and Persia and the Indies. Nor is it
very long since three different Euro
pean royalties claimed to be sover-

The original titles Of the ruler of
Muscovy. which afterwards became the
Russian empire, were great lord, grand
duke. autocrat and czar. 1t was
Peter the Great who In 1728 hit upon
the title of "czar of all the Russias."
The title of grand duke was started
at Keif in Russia, proceeding from
there to Germany.
"Bey" was once a greater title than
"sultan-" II has now disappeared.
"Sultan" means merely mighty man. :
The title of majesty" by which the
