The title « Defender of the Faith '—to which reference is made elsewhere in this issue— is not the only one which the Popes have conferred upon Christian monarchs as a reward for services rendered to the cause of religion. France, for instance was long known in the heyday of her religious enthusiasm and zeal as the ( eldest daughter of the Church,' and it was consonant with the fitness of things that her king- should best\led by the Pope the ' Most Christian King ' and ' the Eldest Son of the Church.' The Spanish monarch was known as 'the Most Catholic King ' ; the former Portuguese Emperors of
Brazil were called ' Perpetual Defenders ' ; and Austria's sovereign is addressed as 'His Apostolic Majesty ' — the full title of his office runs as follows : 'His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty the Emperor of Austria, King of Bohemia, and Apostolic King of Hungary.'
