“The divine right of Kings is better than the divine right of officials”

1977. I made myself a King, not to attack the aristocracy, as some thought back in the 1970’s, but because, "this King had more pages than most!".  

As, 'Richard Coeur des Livre', I obtained world press coverage and courted the media by presenting myself, Hay Castle, which I purchased in 1973, and a town of books to photograph.

We printed our own currency, had border maps and still sell passports today.
