A Russian monk writes to the grand prince of Moscow in 1512 on the theme of the third Rome:
'Two Romes have fallen, but the third stands, and a fourth there will not be. Thou art the only Christian sovereign in the world, the lord of all faithful Christians.'
Quoted Bamber Gascoigne The Christians, Cape 1977, page 49
