Queen Elizabeth I of England, born 7th September 1533, was the daughter of King Henry VIII and his second wife Ann Boleyn. She became Queen on 17th November 1558 following the death of her elder sister, Queen Mary I. Mary was the daughter of Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon. Elizabeth's coronation was in London on 15th January 1559. She reigned until her death on 24th March 1603 and was succeeded by King James I of England who was also King James VI of Scotland.

yh because she had loads of people killed and was very strong,intelligent and was in charge of a lot of people and was also the daughter of the very powerful Henry VIII

he changed their religious way of life, by introducing a catholic way of life and decorative churches and services, which they greatly disliked.

George I (28th May 1660 - 11th June 1727) aged 67

George I was in 2nd in line to the English throne, after his mother who secured the throne for herself and her son. However, on 8th June 1714, his mother died suddenly aged 83 and George became the heir to the throne. Queen Anne died just a month later and George became King. He had his wife imprisoned which angered his son greatly. His wife died in 1726 suddenly and he refused to allow the country to mourn. On his way to Hanover on the 9th June 1727 George suffered a stroke and later died on 11th June 1727, aged 67.

Historically he married her in 1472 when she was sixteen, about eleven years before he became king. At that time her father had been killed and disgraced and she had been delivered to the custody of Richard's older brother and Anne's brother-in-law Clarence, who wanted nothing to do with her and who claimed the entire Neville inheritance for himself. Richard rescued her by marrying her, although she brought no political and very little monetary gain to him. He must have loved her very much.

In Shakespeare's play, Richard marries Anne after Act 1 Scene 2, when he improbably woos her.

Charles II (1630 - 1685) came to the throne in May 1660. Although he was heir to the throne when his father, Charles I, was executed for treason to the people in 1649, Oliver Cromwell (1599 - 1658) was Lord Protector during the Interregnum ('in between kings' 1649 - 1660), and it wasn't until after Cromwell's death and the failure of Cromwell's son to take over, that Charles was eventually able to take his throne.

Charles was known as the Merry Monarch, and, although married to Catherine of Braganza, he had no legitmate offspring but had a dozen illegitimate children by seven mistresses, among them the famous Nell Gwynne. The late Diana, Princess of Wales was descended from two of Charles' sons, so her son, Prince William, if he comes to the throne, would be the first British monarch descended from Charles II.

The British first came to India in the 1600s by establishing the British East India Company for trade purposes. In 1612, James I instructed Sir Thomas Roe to visit the Mughal Emperor Nuruddin Salim Jahangir (r. 1605 - 1627) to arrange for a commercial treaty that would give the Company exclusive rights to reside and build factories in Surat and other areas. In return, the Company offered to provide the Emperor with goods and rarities from the European market. This mission was highly successful.

The Company, benefiting from the imperial patronage, soon expanded its commercial trading operations, eclipsing its Portuguese and Dutch trade rivals.

The Company's victory under Robert Clive in the 1757 Battle of Plassey and another victory in the 1764 Battle of Buxar (in Bihar), consolidated the Company's power, and forced emperor Shah Alam II to appoint it the diwan, or revenue collector, of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa. The Company thus became the de facto ruler of large areas of the lower Gangetic plain by 1773. It also proceeded by degrees to expand its dominions around Bombay and Madras. The Anglo-Mysore Wars (1766-1799) and the Anglo-Maratha Wars (1772-1818) left it in control of large areas of India south of the Sutlej River.

The proliferation of the Company's power chiefly took two forms. The first of these was the outright annexation of Indian states and subsequent direct governance of the underlying regions, which collectively came to comprise British India.

The rule lasted until 1858, when, after the Indian rebellion of 1857 and consequent of the Government of India Act 1858, the British government assumed the task of directly administering India in the new British Raj. The system of governance was instituted in 1858, when the rule of the British East India Company was transferred to the Crown in the person of Queen Victoria - who in 1876 was proclaimed Empress of India - and lasted until 1947, when the British Indian Empire was partitioned into two sovereign dominion states, the Union of India (later the Republic of India) and the Dominion of Pakistan (later the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the eastern half of which, still later, became the People's Republic of Bangladesh).

it takes place several months after the death of the previous monarch. the place is Westminister Abbey. hope i helped :)

Only 1: Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.

i think it was that he was guilty of high treason and being a public enemy to the country of England.

Queen Anne

It was politically a good move because she was the niece of Richard III and therefore a member of his enemies' family. This made them happier about him being King.

Presumably we are talking about the third wife of Henry VIII

Yes, she had two brothers, Thomas and Edward, and a sister Elizabeth.

Extra fact

She was the daughter of Sir John Seymour and Margery Wentworth

She was also Henry VIII's 5th cousin

She was distantly related to Anne Boleyn (they shared a grand-mother)

oligarchy and dictatorships hold absolute power

In The Matter, Forme and Power of a Common Wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil, published in 1651, Thomas Hobbes suggested that only a strong ruler could control the instability of society, and that the monarch should also have power over religious faiths and doctrines.

Technically, their last name is Mountbatten-Windsor, although William and his brother use the surname Wales in their professional lives. However, as a Royal, if you have a title, you do not use a last name. They will be referred to as Prince William of Wales, Duke of Cambridge and Princess Catherine of Wales, Duchess of Cambridge. They also hold the titles Earl of Strathearn and Countess of Strathearn, and Baron Carrickfergus and Baroness Carrickfergus.

The king is the lord. For example: Ronald is the king. He has found a stranger on his land. Ronald has promised to give his throne to that stranger. When Ronald dies that stranger becomes the king who was once Ronald's vassal

The States within the United States have names derived from many sources. It seems the answer to this question would be the State of Georgia. Named after King George.

what was life like fo the common european when absolute monarchs ruled

Louis 16th was the King of France and was executed in December 1792. However, the French Revolution had started in July 1789 with the storming of the Bastille. In the interim, the King and his family was held (in various places) as captives. During this time, various political factions held power. There was constant fighting among the parties and guilliotine was hauled out again and again to settle disputes. After a failed (and almost comical) escape attempt by the King and his family, he was put on trial and executed (again by guilliotine). At the time of his execution, the Girondists was the political faction in power. They were overthrown in the summer of 1793. Their leader was popularly thought to be Jacques Brissot (party was sometimes called the Brissotins or "Baguettes"), but during those turbulent (and very bloody times), the argument can be made that he was only the faction's propoganda minister (i.e. mouthpiece). In any event, he was executed (by, of course, guilliotine) in July 1793. The vaccuum that was created by the coup was filled by the Montagnards - who's most visible member was Robespierre. They lasted a year before they were overthrown and executed in the summer of 1794.

There are not many absolute monarchies in the modern world, because many civilisations want a more republic-like government.

Some of the last absolute monarchies in existence at this time are in third-world countries. However, countries like Oman, Swaziland, etc. still have absolute monarchies.
