On June 25, an assembly of lords and commoners endorsed these claims. The following day, Richard III officially began his reign. He was crowned in July. The two young princes disappeared in August and were widely rumored to have been murdered by Richard. Richard’s claim to the throne was based on his assertion that the princes were illegitimate, because Edward had been betrothed before his marriage to Elizabeth Woodville, the prince’s mother. Given the customs of time, a prior betrothal could…

to help me decide which version of Rapunzel the common American like me & you would enjoy more. So without further a-do… lets get started. Tangled kept a few things in common with the original fairytale. For example, Rapunzel was imprisoned in a tower deep in the woods with no stairs & just a tiny window at the very top. I guess her mother thought she was going to try to run away & I don’t blame her. If I was Rapunzel’s mother I would’ve installed…

Most people have heard a story book with the lines “once upon of time” at the beginning when we were younger ether from parents or a school and most girls and some guys watched a disney movie with a princess and a prince defeating the villain and living happily ever after. In reality though the books and movies that people know ,love, and still watched today are actually from a darker story with gore, death, and people with darker personalities from the movies and books that are known by many…

This is the castle typical castle of European construction in medieval. Although has gone through many wars but the castle's tower remains solid. Built in the 14th century, this castle played the role of a fortress against the French invaders. It is rectangular and includes 4 towers at the corners.

Shrek is a comedy that is well known for breaking stereotypes. Scary ogres are not so scary. Princes are not always good people. The female lead, Princess Fiona, is no different. In the beginning of the film, she is waiting for a charming prince to save her from her tower and kiss her. It is easy to classify her as a damsel in distress, however as the movie progresses you learn more about her character. Fiona only acts delicate and in order to break a curse, though she could save herself. In…

wrongful actions, but he instead chose to become the monster that they thought he was. This only makes him seem worse and not any better. Another example of a wrong decision made by Richard was when he ordered Tyrell to kill the two princes, Prince Edwards and Prince York (The Tragedy of Richard The Third 4.2.68-82). Although it gained him an advantage in the long run, it was completely heartless and unnecessary. Instead of just appreciating his position in…

becomes pregnant. I don’t necessarily think Disney would let that slide in their movie. It’s not to “kid friendly”. However, in the story the prince, or Flynn, sees her a few times rather than hiding once from the police. It seems a bit weird for him to come over and over again.
