THE LOTHAIR CRYSTAL
Before I begin, a quick clarifying digression. I mention King Henry VIII and King Edward VIII. I do this because my sources did this. Not sure if they meant two different kings, or if they mixed the names up and are talking about the same king. They were both British monarchs living in different times. You decide, as they don’t clarify nor does it matter as we are talking about the crystal. Okay now. Next things first. The image. If you look at it, and you have seen the original, you will notice that I cleaned this version up a tad. The original has a crack draining vertically throughout the crystal just right of dead center. I hated it, and so, in the interests of my own aesthetics, I fixed it a bit in order to make it more pleasing to see for me, and perhaps some or all of you. That said, let us advance my noble readers.
