What is the duration which a king or queen rules?

Until the end of their lives or until they wish to appoint a successor to the throne. In rare situations a king or queen may choose to abdicate the throne, or in-other-words, step-down or basically quit the job. This would most likely occur if, for example, there were a successful revolt or military coup against them, and they were given the choice of ending their rule by abdication or ending it by death. But what type of government is it why wont it tell is it Dictator ship ir Fedural i meen really is it to hard for them to write that down?

Why did King Richard the first want to capture robin hood?

Some of the retellings of the legend of Robin Hood place him in the era of King John, thought he has been similarly dated to Henry II, Richard and various of the Edwards. He certainly works as a pantomine villain, the image of Bad King John against people's hero Robin Hood.

How did Napoleon establish an empire?

Well he was kind of a powerful guy being a military general and all but he was never a king or anything. He was famous for being so little. But no he never became more powerful than general. So in my opinion he wasnt powerful but he was strong.Or:He was the Emperor of France and deserves a point for that.He had full dictatorial power, so add a point.He was the King of Italy and a King surely deserves a point on a scale of 1 to 10.He is innocent of shooting the nose off the Sphinx, so add a point.He introduced the government employee Merit system which is entitled to a point.Josephine was a foxy lady and she married the little corporal who was not at all short for that moment in History. Add a point.He divorced Josephine because she failed to produce a male heir. (Bad move and take away .5 points.)He married Marie Louise of Austria (Who was a reported to be an absolute dog), deduct .5 points.She produced a male heir which today is worth zilch, but since he was an active participant in this transaction award him a point.His presence in Egypt resulted in the Rosetta Stone which was a World Class discovery and certainly worthy of two points.Austerlitz and Russia is a break even deal.The Napoleonic Code is worthy of two points.Mandatory and compulsory education is worth a point.He was an adulterer worthy of chastisement. (Subtract 1 point. )He escaped from Elba, normally two points to his favor and it is canceled out by his parole violation of that period.The acceptance by his troops when he returned from Elba certainly entitles him to two points.His loss at Waterloo is worthy of a 2 point deduction.His faultless period of sentence at St. Helena is worth a point.His 1840 welcome home by the people and the government and the shrine they prepared for is certainly a two point award.His historical record remains fogged and disputed in multiple controversies. He made major tactical and strategic errors. He made major political and personal misjudgements (Break-even.)Napoleon was an imperfect human being. He was a less than perfect National leader and his battlefield record while impressive does not set a World record. He was very good at very many things and deserves credit and accolades for many of his efforts.
