"God Save the King" (alternatively "God Save the Queen", depending on the gender of the reigning monarch) is the royal anthem in a number of Commonwealth realms, their territories, and the British Crown dependencies, as well as many other countries currently or formerly. The author of the tune is unknown, and it may originate in plainchant; but an attribution to the composer John Bull is sometimes made.
