Mary was made famous because For attempting to overthrow her father's legacy of returning the Catholic Church to its original polity! In doing this she instituted a pogram that cost the lives of nearly 300 people!

King Charles I grew up shy and starved of his parent's affection, which was delegated to the oldest son, Prince Henry. He also spoke with a stammer and became very vindictive towards male courtiers who got his father's attention.
When Charles became king, he understood very well the duties of a monarch, and was able to put up a good appearance of being a proper ruler. He was very diligent in his paperwork and very involved with the decision making of the government. However, he did not understand the give-and-take relationship between the crown and parliament, and he thought that if he made his will known, then everyone would obey because he had divine providence. This created the problems that led to the English Civil War.

Which of the following best explains how theocracy and absolute monarchy are similar?
Monarchy is rule by a king, prince, emir, sultan, or other hereditary power-holder. Theocracy is rule by a religious leader or a person who is believed to be a god-in-the-flesh. In many societies, monarchies have been theocracies since the king was believed to be a physical god, such as in ancient Egypt or as recently as World War II Japan. However, you can have monarchies that are either secular states or states where there is an official religion, but this religion does not have ruling power. You can also have theocracies where the rulership comes to power via internal appointment or quasi-democratic election as opposed to heredity, so these would be non-monarchic theocracies.
