Henry I of England

break, I watched a movie called Inside the Court of Henry Vlll, which explored King Henry’s paranoia and selfish brutality. This was a well researched reenactment of his life, which occurred in the 1500s in England. During his reign, a hint of betrayal resulted in a death sentence, regardless of your status. For that reason, King Henry Vlll is remembered for creating an era of terror. When Henry was crowned, he was full of ideas, and he represented a new future, one filled with betterment.…

In spite of the consequences, being labeled a heretic, and ultimately a martyr, Tyndale’s bravery and personal faith in Christ, rather than the sole reliance of the church, demonstrated his determination to provide the…

were viewed from two different viewpoints, from England’s and from Germany’s. The two countries have similarities of the reformation as well as the differences. Reformers such as Martin Luther, who led the reformation in Germany and Henry VIII, led the reformation in England, each one of them dealing with their own strategy for their own country. In the 16th century, people were unsatisfied and criticized the way the Roman Catholic Church was dealing with doctrines, education and dealing with…

The research topic I chose is Henry of Blois (Winchester) the brother of King Stephen of England. He was born around 1098/9 and was a very influential man during his time. He was in a sensitive position by being a bishop. He had a great influence with the building of castles and art. Henry of Winchester would also become one of the richest men in England as well, which brings in my specific research topic. Is Henry of Blois based off self-preservation? In other words, was he always looking after…

Shakespeare’s seminal classic Henry V is the culmination of the Henriad tetralogy, and is an allusion to the aphorism that “the pen is mightier than the sword,” for despite being renowned as a warrior king in the Bard’s tale, King Henry fought his battles with the mettle of his rhetoric rather than the metal of his blade. This can be seen in the way in which he utilises orotund oratory to intimidate the citizens of Harfleur into surrendering, but perhaps his most monumental use of magniloquence…
