"Johannes, D.G. rex Angliae, dominus Hiberniae, dux Normanniae et Aquitaniae, et comes Andegaviae." Instead of "Hiberniae" we sometimes find "Iberniae," and sometimes "Yberniae." HENRY III. followed the style of his father till October, 1259, when he adopted the form "D.G. rex Angliae, dominus Hiberniae, et dux Aquitaniae." EDWARD I. adopted the latter style. So did Edward II.[TN-137] till 1326, when he used the form "Rex Angliae et dominus Hiberniae." Edward I.[TN-137] for thirteen years headed his charters with "Edwardus, Dei gratia rex Angliae, dominus Hiberniae, et dux Aquitaniae." But after 1337 the form ran thus: "Edwardus, D.G. rex Angliae et Franciae, dominus Hiberniae, et dux Aquitaniae;" and sometimes "Franciae" stands before "Angliae." RICHARD II. began thus: "Richardus, D.G. rex Angliae et Franciae, et dominus Hiberniae." HENRY IV. continued the same style. So did HENRY V. till 1420, after which date he adopted the form, "Henricus, D.G. rex Angliae, haeres et regens Franciae, et dominus Hiberniae." HENRY VI. began, "Henricus, D.G. rex Angliae et Franciae, et dominus Hiberniae." EDWARD IV., EDWARD V., RICHARD III., HENRY VII. continued the same style. From HENRY VIII. (1521) to GEORGE III. (1800) the royal style and title was "* by the grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, king, Defender of the Faith." From GEORGE III. (1800) to the present day it has been, "* by the grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, king, Defender of the Faith." =Ru'bezahl=, Number Nip, a famous mountain-spirit of Germany corresponding to our Puck. =Rubi=, one of the cherubs or spirits of wisdom who was with Eve in Paradise. He loved Liris, who was young, proud, and most eager for knowledge. She asked her angel lover to let her see him in his full glory; so Rubi came to her in his cherubic splendor. Liris, rushing into his arms, was burnt to ashes; and the kiss she gave him became a brand upon his forehead, which shot unceasing agony into his brain.--T. Moore, _Loves of the Angels_, ii. (1822). =Ru'bicon= (_Napoleon's_), Moscow. The invasion of Moscow was the beginning of Napoleon's fall. Thou, Rome, who saw'st thy Caesar's deeds outdone! Alas! why passed he [_Napoleon_] too the Rubicon ... Moscow! thou limit of
