Who do playing cards represent?

i know who king of spades,clubs,hearts, diamonds represent but i'd like to know if the other court cards represent a specific person, like the kings.

Who do playing cards represent?
"the queen of spades, the only armed queen in the deck, represents Athena, the Greek goddess of war. The queen of diamonds is Rachel, wife of Jacob and mother of the 12 sons who founded the 12 tribes of Israel. The queen of clubs is an anagram of Regina, signifying queen. The queen of hearts is Judith of Bavaria, daughter-in-law of Charlemagne"

Reply:Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history. Spades--King David, Clubs--Alexander the Great, Hearts--Charlemagne and Diamonds--Julius Caesar.





I donno about the other cards...
