Each face card in a deck of playing cards is said to represent a great person from history:

King of Spades – David

King of Hearts – Charles (possibly Charlemagne, or Charles VII, where Rachel would then be the pseudonym of his mistress, Agnès Sorel)

King of Diamonds – Julius Caesar

King of Clubs – Alexander the Great

 

Queen of Spades – Pallas

Queen of Hearts – Judith

Queen of Diamonds – Rachel (either biblical, historical (see Charles above), or ythical as a corruption of the Celtic Ragnel, relating to Lancelot below)

Queen of Clubs – Argine (possibly an anagram of regina, which is Latin for queen, or perhaps Argea, wife of Polybus and mother of Argus)

 

Knave (Jack) of Spades – Ogier the Dane/Holger Danske (a knight of Charlemagne)

Knave (Jack) of Hearts – La Hire (comrade-in-arms to Joan of Arc, and member of Charles VII’s court)

Knave (Jack) of Diamonds – Hector

Knave (Jack) of Clubs – Judas Maccabeus, or Lancelot

The King of Hearts is the only king without a mustache and is the only king with a sword through his head, otherwise known as the “Suicide King”.

 

The Face Cards (King, Queen & Jack) are referred to as the “Court”.

 

52 cards represents the 52 weeks in a year

 

4 suits represents the 4 seasons

 

13 cards in each suit represents the 13 weeks in each season

 

12 Royals represent the 12 months

 

2 red and 2 black suits represent the 4 different solstices

 

The 4 suits also represent the four natural elements

Hearts = Water

Clubs = Fire

Diamonds = Earth

Spades = Air

 

An interesting fact about playing cards is that specially-constructed decks were sent to American soldiers who were being held in German camps during World War II. The United States Playing Card Company collaborated with the government in the production of these cards. What made these cards so unique was, once they became wet, they peeled apart. Inside, the prisoners found parts of maps that would lead them to freedom.
