Story:

CHARTA BELLICA (Lat. War Playing Cards) are special kinds of 56 playing cards with the coats of arms of the Hungarian, German, Turkish and Polish nations for suits. All the cards portray late 16th century court officials, soldiers or citizens from contemporary prints, cuts and paintings. The individual cards numbered from 1 to 10 are marked with Roman numbers, to be overtrumped by queens, kings and capital cityscapes of the four nations, respectively, while priests are seen for aces. They lend themselves for any traditional game of cards as corresponding to the four traditional suits (of hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds).		The archetypes of Charta Bellica are 15th century court playing cards called Hofamterspiel of  the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, also with (Hungarian, German, Bohemian and French) coats of arms as equivalents of the four traditional suits. Relationship with these cards is demonstrated by identical gestures of corresponding figures in 16th century attire.

Changes in card size and scale relations required those in compostition so as to displace coats of arms as well as lettering sometimes. Jokers as priests have been replaced by the four coats of arms,and the pack has been reduced to 54 cards.
