He died on 26th June 1830- a postmortem on his body revealed that he had been suffering from arteriosclerosis for many years, but the immediate cause of his death was down to the rupture of a blood vessel in his stomach. He was 68 years old.

King Henry 7th had inherited a fairly stable Kingdom for the times. England at this time was not Great Britain. Scotland, Wales and Ireland were countries in their own right and keeping to themselves. The Renaissance period was in full swing throughout most of Europe where surplus money was being spent on The Arts. England was predominantly rural with farming being the country's lifeblood and surplus funds were scare for noble and peasant alike. It was a Catholic country and owed spiritual allegiance (as did most of Europe) to the Pope in Rome. However, England was a very weak country. This was the time just before the big expansions and military spending by Henry VIII and later Elizabeth I. These two following (son and granddaughter) Monarchs would push England to the Empire it would later become. So Henry VII made a political move to secure England against any invasion that may come from one of the then (then) great powers. These powers were; France, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands (Holland). These countries had substantial military forces as either armies, navies, or in the case of France, both. Spanish steel was the finest in the world at this time and Spain was comparatively rich in silver. Spain was arguably the greatest of the big powers at that time. So Henry VII decided to marry off his eldest son (an heir to the English crown) Arthur, to a Spanish princess. Obviously. England was not sufficiently important nor powerful enough to attract a prime candidate, but Henry invited Spain to marry off one of their lesser princesses to Arthur. Catherine of Aragon, a less beautiful princess than others of the Spanish Royal House was betrothed to Arthur at about age 3 (or 5, my memory isn't as sharp these days). This ensured an alliance with powerful Spain for insignificant little England. Henry breathed a sigh of relief that his throne and country would be secure for another generation. Arthur and Catherine wed, and all that remained was an heir of Arthur's to be born of the union. However Arthur was a sickly child and died soon after the marriage. What to do? Catherine was recalled to Spain by her family as was the custom in such a short (and possibly unconsummated) marriage. Henry was worried. He wanted an allegiance with a great power and hatched a plan with his advisors to remarry Catherine to Arthur's younger brother Henry. However, young Henry was quite some years younger than Catherine. Henry VII had to work out a way to keep Catherine in England and wait for young Henry to at least reach puberty. meanwhile Spain was getting a bit agitated and a rumour started that England was keeping Catherine a virtual prisoner. But politics of the day won out. The Spanish King couldn't marry Catherine off to another royal house in Europe (she was now 'second hand') and so he made her Ambassador to England for the time being (the only female to be so almost anywhere in Chrisendom). Young Henry was married to Catherine and old Henry VII died satisfied. However the story doesn't end there, stay tuned for INTRIGUE! BETRAYAL! DIRTY POLITICS! and a story so vile and convoluted that thriller writers would turn green with envy. Only id you want to know of course.

About 1003 Edward the Confessor (c. 1003 - 5 January 1066), son of Aethelred the Unready and Emma of Normandy, was one of the last Anglo-Saxon kings of the English and is usually regarded as the last of the House of Wesses, ruling from 1042 to 1066 (technically the last being Edgar the Aetheling who was proclaimed king briefly in late 1066, but was deposed after about eight weeks.) His reign marked the continuing disintegration of royal power in England and the advancement in power of the earls.

They weren’t different. All of them thought they were placed on the throne by God and could do whatever they wanted. When the American Revolution started there was great fear it would spread to Europe. King George asked Catherine the Great to send troops to the American Revolution to help him.

No - Great Britain is not a country, nation or state; it is an island.

The island of Great Britain, together with the Province of Northern Ireland and about 1000 small islands, make up The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy.

Well considering the major job of a princess is to be wed off to some prince of a neighboring kingdom to unite nations or for diplomacy their main job is essentially to look extremely beautiful and keep their virginity intact. Other than that, they don't really do much. Modern day princess are just like normal people, considering monarchies only exist in third world countries and the kingship is most likely a figure head.

It was James Francis Edward Stuart if you want more help google what your asking it might help that's what i did

A marriage in this sense basically meant an alliance (or atleast a softening of relations) between two factions.

Though i would like to mention that Henry VIII was not really concerned with such alliances. He was more concerned about having an heir. Henry's father had became King of England after a bloody civil war (The war of the roses) that started because there was no heir to the then king. Henry was determined to avoid this and became more and more desperate to get a male heir when his first wife only gave him a daughter, while he wanted a son.

Also note that in those times, royal families did not marry below their "class". A royal marriage to someone below high noble status was considered scandalous. This created a situation were royals and nobles would always look for the most advantagious marriage possible. Love was not an issue

Of course, 'gay' in the sense we use the word today wouldn't apply to Richard I. The idea that people were congenitally homosexual did not emerge in Europe until the 19th century. Before that, it was generally assumed that anyone could have a homosexual encounter. In some communities, this would have been regarded as scandalous. In others, it would attract little or no concern unless the person's behavior was exclusively homosexual.

'Bloody' Mary was King Henry the VIII's oldest daughter. She was a very devout Christian and her persecution of Protestants after her ascent to the throne earned her the nickname 'Bloody Mary.'

The Mary Tudor who became Queen Mary of England was a staunch Catholic and preferred to marry a Catholic. Marrying the heir to the throne of Spain was also a way of making peace between the two countries.

Otto was a hereditary king, who gained much power militarily. Otto I was the son of Henry the Fowler, and inherited the Kingdom of East Francia (Germany) when Henry died.

Rich silver mines were developed in Saxony at the time Otto was king, and this provided him with the money he needed to build up his military.

Various subject dukes rebelled against Henry, and he was able to defeat them and strengthen himself in the process. These rebellions included alliances with Louis IV of France, but Louis was also defeated. In addition, there were rebellions by tribes in the East, but these were also defeated.

When Adelaide of Italy inherited the throne of that country, she was abducted by Berengar of Ivrea, who took the throne and tried to marry Adelaide to his son. She escaped and requested German aid. In the confusion that followed, Otto invaded Italy, took the throne himself, and married Adelaide. He also returned territory of the Papal States that had been occupied by Berengar to the pope, who crowned him Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

Otto also made donations to the Church and fostered architecture and the arts, introducing a period called the Ottonian Renaissance.
