"By This Axe, I Rule" by Robert E. Howard is the last of Howard's Kull stories, set in his fictional Thurian Age. It was first published in the Lancer Books paperback ''King Kull'' in 1967.〔(Howard Works ), retrieved 2 January 2008〕 This story was rejected by the pulp magazines ''Argosy'' and ''Adventure'' in 1929,〔(REHupa: REH Fiction Timeline ), retrieved 2 January 2008〕 after which Howard rewrote it as the Conan story "The Phoenix on the Sword," substituting a new secondary plot and adding elements of supernatural horror. The main shared elements of the two stories are the conspiracy and the king's defeat of it. The Conan story was published in December 1932. ==Plot summary== Kull laments that the laws of Valusia hamper his rule, and do not allow him to govern as he wants. A nobleman enters who wants to marry a slave girl, but Kull is advised that this is impossible under the law and the nobleman is sent away with regrets. Later Kull is attacked in his private chambers by a band of conspirators seeking to overthrow him, an attempt he barely defeats. After the assassins are killed, the nobleman shows up again and Kull smashes the tablets of the law with his axe, proclaiming "By this axe I rule!" He gives the suitor permission to marry whoever he wants.
