 Century of Country
Natives of the rugged Clinch Mountain county of Dickinson in Virginia, the Stanley boys had a singing father and an Old-Time banjo-picking mother.
However, the Clinch Mountain Boys did several albums for other companies, too, including King Bluegrass, Blue Jay, Jessup and his own (briefly) Stanleytone.
Beginning with a September 1959 King session, the Stanleys had usually favored a lead guitar over mandolin and the practice has persisted, although Ralph has had a scattering of mandolinists in his group over the years including Ron Thomason, Ricky Skaggs, and Danny Marshall.

One of the ideas which attracted King was a towering war memorial, reminiscent of the one at Vimy Ridge, which would stretch a thousand feet long on the side of King Mountain, visible from Parliament Hill, and approached by a monumental Via Sacra.
King was in July 1946, for in the last four years of his life we were abroad.
In his later years, King received at Kingsmere not only his very few intimate friends but also statesmen and leaders from Canada and the world.

 Knowledge King - India
Located on the Indian subcontinent, India consists roughly of three major parts; in the north the massive Himalayas mountain range (with the highest point being the Kanchenjunga at 8,598 m) and the Indo-Gangetic plain (with deserts in the western end), and in the south the extensive Deccan plateau.
India's bicameral parliament consists of the upper house called 'The Council of States' (Rajya Sabha) and the lower House called 'The House of the People' (Lok Sabha), both of which were established by the Constitution of India.
English, though only an associate or 'link' language, is still widely in use in law and government, particularly in the higher echelons.

 The Sun King
With these fictional elements and reality merged, it's not surprising that Frederick became the once and future king, his court became Camelot and his personal magician, Michael Scot, became Merlin.
In this respect he is not unique: in Germany the Emperor Frederick II or Barbarossa sleeps beneath the Kyffhauser Mountain and will return at the end of time.
By describing him as Britain's first Christian king as well as a foe of the Saxons and pagan Celts, Geoffrey of Monmouth, in his History of the Kings of Britain (1147), invented an Arthur who was more agreeable to the Norman conquerors.

To accompany this decision, I had drawn up for King Nicholas to sign an appeal to his people which I was quite hopeful would aid in the pacification of the disturbed districts.
King Nicholas was not slow to see the force of this remark, and soon the decorations were safely housed again in the lacquer cabinet.

 King Lear - France
Surely France would suggest to Lear that he is making a mountain out of a molehill and would expect him to reassign Cordelia's dowry for the mutual security of their two countries as well as for France's sake as his son-in-law.
Unless France can persuade Lear to reverse his decision he will be in terrible danger if there is ever a Goneril/Regan/Burgundy alliance where he can be invaded from three sides simultaneously.
The King of France needs to be at the centre of power in case this happens and this might be the fear and danger requiring his personal return.
