And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
One of the kings in Bohemia. A divided land, lots of skulduggery afoot. This one was murdered by his brother. A common thread in the tapestry of the rise and fall of empires and lesser fiefs.
Shown is he and his followers are asleep. He became a patron saint. One of several known as Vaclav.
Google translates the German of the title as "The Wenceslas Knights in Blanik Mountain", which when searched leads to "The famous Czech legend of the Knights of Blanik tells of an army of knights sleeping in a cave in Blanik, a mountain not far from Prague. It states that the knights will awake and be led by a saint to save the country when it faces its darkest hour." Pretty cool.
Unclear on the concept. King, bunch of dead guys? What?
