Once upon a time, in a dark kingdom, there was a raging brutal war. The king of the old kingdom named Postfallia, sent for his son. When his son Richard J. Williams 14th walked into the room, their eyes met, and Richard Jr. instantly knew by his father's gaze, that he would soon be the recipient of bad news. Richard Sr. sat his son down and told him that with the death of his dearest general in the line of duty, he must call upon his son to take up arms and lead the kings army. The following weeks Richard Jr. spent all of his time training, and learning the tactics of battle, as well as the makings of great leaders.…

His father was very strong in his opinions and was prosperous famer-merchant and a loyalist. Due to him being a loyalist the King family had to endure much torment from many patriots. This humiliation and pain instilled a “lifelong passion for law and order and for a society controlled by rational men”.…
But James is not always praised and his criticism is often based on two of his policies: the Irish plantation and the reformation of the Scottish Kirk both, some believe, being major factors in the explosion of the Civil War in the 1640s. It is true that if James was a flexible monarch who favored stability he did tried to pass more revolutionary policies. Notably towards James’s other major source of dislike: the Scottish Kirk. If James did not like the English Parliament he was on the other hand very fond of the English Church. It was a Calvinist church supervised by bishops and had the king as the head of the church while in Scotland the Scottish kirk was trying to get rid of bishops and parishes.…
At first, it may seem like Richard is simply power-hungry and envious of his older brother, the King at that time, and his reign over the kingdom. Richard longs for that position at the top of the ladder, but he knows…

As times change, values and ideas often change as they are invariably shaped by their context. However, some remain constant throughout time and are universal. The 1592 Shakespearean drama Richard III and Al Pacino 's 1995 docu-drama Looking for Richard [LFR] were written four hundred years apart yet both texts address perpetual values and ideas that are common to both eras. Through a simultaneous study of both texts, the responder is able to understand the influence of context on aspects of the human condition such as the adverse effects of lust for power and appearance and reality. Richard III is heavily influenced by Elizabethan principles and in Pacino 's response to the increasingly secular and modern American context he effectively refashions…
Power is like a knife. A knife in proper hands can create pieces of culinary art, however, a knife in cruel hands only creates destruction. Power is misused in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and William Shakespeare’s Richard III and both literary works demonstrate the same consequences. Power destroys morality within the abuser and society. This exploitation of power will also lead to discontentment among the people.…
Froissart’s writings on the feudal relationship between Richard III and Philip VI are likely inaccurate. Froissart wrote about how the two kings met how Richard paid homage to Philip upon taking the throne. Froissart described how ‘King Philip received the young King of England with all honour and dignity’. However, it is unlikely that this was true. In 1327 the English and French were still at war.…
Did Edward the confessor make William the conqueror his heir before his death England has been characterised by not having principles that were clearly established to guide matters related with royal succession. In the Anglo-Saxon era, lack of these principles often made succession matters ambiguous and often bloody, considering that England was enjoying military might, harboured expansionist ambitions and was under constant threat from neighbouring kingdoms such as Normandy. Heirs played a pertinent and pivotal role in ensuring that the royal bloodline of the monarchs was preserved, yet intermarriages and childlessness often complicated the smooth transition of power once a king passed on. However, lack in succession guidelines often fomented rivalry for the throne among the male children in the extended royal family. Usually, a king displayed preference for his preferred successor by allowing eligible male relatives, sons included, to participate in royal charters and gain titles to significant pieces of land in the English kingdom.…

He was motivated by his need for control; he manipulated people and murdered his way onto the throne. I believe that there are two Richards, a Machiavellian monster formed by Shakespeare; and Richard III; the historical figure who many historians have claimed is an innocent…
