Mary II of England

Scotland for 29 years, what shall not be forgotten, it does not essentially mean that he was to become a outstanding monarch of multiple kingdoms of England and Ireland, what is firstly suggested in the very fact that he is known by two names (James VI and James I) and therefore should be assessed separately . It was the first time, when three kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland were united and ruled by one monarch. These multiple kingdoms that James now rule where legally separate and…

is one of the most studied figures in modern history. She was one of the key members of the English aristocracy during the reign of Henry VIII. She was the queen of England during the time when King Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church formed the Church of England. She was known to be one of the most influential Queens of England and her death remains to this day, one of the greatest mysteries during the reign of King Henry VIII. From my reading and research, I believe Anne Boleyn to have…

Elizabeth II was not guaranteed the royal crown considering her father was the second heir, after his eldest brother, Edward VIII. Despite the odds Elizabeth became queen following her father's death in 1952.

King George the VI died in February 1952, leaving the throne to his twenty-five year old daughter Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, who was on her honeymoon in Kenya when the news of her father’s death first reached her ears (Smith 3; Schultz 380; “Her Majesty the Queen”). This victorious queen delved Britain deep into a period of economic prosperity. She is so loved; she receives nearly three hundred letters per day (“Her Majesty the Queen”). Queen Elizabeth is the most traveled of Britain’s…

Elizabeth 1st. Namely, was Mary Queen of Scots the greatest threat to Elizabeth’s security? It is often debated on whether this was the case, or if Mary fell below the Catholics or the Spanish on the list of dangers to Elizabeth’s security. These differences could be down to looking at different evidence, or simply different perceptions of the same evidence based upon personal opinion and previous knowledge, but it is also important to…

always had roles in the Bible. One woman that stands out in the bible is Mary Magdalene. Many documents and gospels about her life have been lost or destroyed throughout the years. Her role in history has changed from a repentant prostitute to possible Apostle of Jesus. What is know is she was one of Jesus most devoted followers. Questions about her role in Christianity have been clouded with mystery. What is know, is that Mary was present at the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, when…

remember much of my early years, only that I received my education at Emmanuel College in Cambridge. I earned my Bachelor’s degree of arts in 1639 and then my Master’s in 1642. Upon graduating, I chose to stay in the home of a widow by the name of Lady Mary Vere, whose family held to Puritan practices, until I was offered the position of pastor and lecturer at St. Stephen’s in London. My service there started in 1646 and it lasted nearly 16 years. Not too shabby, if I may say so myself!…

On 21st April 1509 Henry VII sadly passed away, leaving the crown to his youngest son, Henry VIII. Henry VIII then later married Catherine of Aragon on 11th June and after had their coronation on 24th June 1509 at Westminster Abby. Henry VII’s sole achievement was to pass the throne onto his son, which he did manage to pass the throne…

allowed herself to die with her dignity, she is the only person who knew the absolute truth to her story. Anne knew the level of her innocence and the level of her guilt and yet she did not get on her knees before all of England, she simply said her words to the people of England and ended by saying “O Lord have mercy on me, to God I commend my soul. To Jesus Christ I commend my soul; Lord Jesus receive my soul.” Anne’s life ended but her words lived on, the world wants to know the truth. We…
