Frank And Helen
King Frank and Queen Helen also known as the "Cabby" and "Nellie" were the first rulers of Narnia in the Chronicles of Narnia. The Chronicles say little of their history, except that Frank and Helen were both country folk, and lived in London only from economic necessity. Frank drove a hackney coach while Helen kept house.

“Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks;
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.”

Night and day on me she cries;
And I am weary of the skies,
For her sake that died for me.”
