murdered monarch

The men who murdered monarchs didn't bother to concern themselves with peasants.

One day, they have vowed, they would return to a Russia free of Communism, perhaps a Russia ruled by descendants of the revered murdered monarch, Czar Nicholas II.

A brutally murdered monarch still provokes wonder that one man could have so much blood in him; an innocent, unprotected mother and child are still slaughtered without mercy, and the equivalent of Banquo's ghost is still around to upset a festive dinner party.
