Why did People eventually came to believe that hereditary monarchy was natural or correct?
hereditary monarchy was correct becuase people believe in heretiry right in a hereditary monarchy
OK, another trick question. You mean George III, not George 111. There's a big difference between the roman numeral three, and the Arabic number one hundred and eleven. And King George III was the British monarch at the time of the American Revoutionary War.

How did Absolute Monarchy start?
Monarchs through most of history had de jure absolute power, but because they could not usually extend their power effectively to the local level, their power did not make it to the local level without interlocutors like local lords, barons, dukes, viscounts, and counts who were able to exert some power in contrast. By the early 1600s, though, technology made it increasingly easier to centralize government work, making the de jure absolute power become de facto absolute power as well. This is usually seen as the beginning of absolutism as a political doctrine.
He ruled over Scotland for 60 years and over England and Ireland for 22 years. He ruled Scotland from July 24, 1567 till his death on March 27, 1625. However, he was a minor until 1578 and Scotland was actually ruled by regents until them. He ruled England from March 24, 1603 until March 27, 1625.

If we are talking about Queen Elizabeth II of England then the answer is yes, she was married five years before she took the throne. She married Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark although he gave up all his foreign titles to become Philip Mountbatten, his mother's maiden name. Before the marriage he was made Duke of Edinburgh and given the style of HRH or His Royal Highness. Many in the UK still refer to him as Prince Philip. She was married in 1947 and became queen in 1952 after the death of her father King George VI.
Why is a bloody Mary called a bloody Mary?
Bloody Mary is in fact Tudor Queen of England Mary I. The eldest child of Henry VIII, and the only surviving child of Catherine of Aragon. She was raised as a Catholic, and her tutors were Catholic. To divorce his wife, Henry VIII reformed the English Church and cut its allegiance to the Church of Rome, thus forming The Church of England. Henry died and Edward took over, who really reformed the church stripping them of all things catholic or dogmatic. Edward dies, and Mary takes charge (after a bit of conspiracy is thwarted). Mary was desperate to correct England in the eyes of God, The Pope and the Church of Rome. To do this she re-enacted old heresy laws, which allowed for unrepentant heretics to be burned at the stake, although in for certain protestants, repenting wasn't enough and she burned them anyway.
Mary Burned about 300 people in her short five year reign. Of course this pales in comparison to her own father who killed about 72,000 people in his reign. But it was the brutality of Mary's preferred execution which gave her the name Bloody Mary. Although people did repent, she burned them anyway, turning them into Martyrs, which helped discredit Mary's regime. Her cruelty, lack of mercy, and general unpopularity gave her the nickname Bloody Mary, which has stuck ever since.
Hope that is more informative :-)
How tall was King William III of England?
His effigy in Westminster shows he was 5' 6 1/2". His wife, Queen Mary II, was 5' 11".
Was William 2nd William the conquerer's son?
YES, William II (c. 1056 - 2 August 1100), was the third son of William the Conqueror (William I), and was King of England from 1087 until 1100, with powers over Normandy, and influence in Scotland. He was less successful in extending control into Wales. William is commonly known as William Rufus, perhaps because of his red-faced appearance, or red hair.
Was Mary I related to James I?
Yes, they were both descendants of King Henry VII of England.
Mary I was the daughter of King Henry VIII, son of Henry VII, and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
Margaret Tudor, daughter of Henry VII (and, therefore sister of Henry VIII), married King James IV of Scotland.
The son of James IV and Margaret became King James V of Scotland.
James V was the father of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her son became first James VI of Scotland and then James I of England.
How did Richard the third die?
On 22 August 1485, Richard met the Lancastrian forces of Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth Field. During the battle Richard was abandoned by Lord Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby, Sir William Stanley, and Henry Percy, 4th Earl of Northumberland.
The switching of sides by the Stanleys severely depleted the strength of Richard's army and had a material effect on the outcome of the battle. Accounts note that Richard fought bravely and ably during the battle, unhorsing a well-known champion, killing Henry's standard bearer and nearly reaching Henry himself before being finally surrounded and killed.
Tradition holds that his final words were "treason ,treason, treason, treason.
There are no records as to how he was slain
Who was on the throne between 1554-1616?
No-one. Following the execution of King Charles II in 1649, England became a republic, known as The Commonwealth of England.
The head of this government was Oliver Cromwell, who took the title of Lord Protector.
Cromwell died in 1658 and was succeeded as Lord Protector by his son, Richard Cromwell.
On 29th May 1660 the monarchy was restored and Charles I's son became King as Charles II
Why would Prince Charles become king before his brothers Edward and Andrew?
If Prince Charles dies, Prince Andrew will not become King because Prince Charles has two sons, Princes William and Harry. As Charles is heir to the throne, if he dies, his eldest son William will become heir.
Did Mary daughter of King Henry VIII and Catherine of aragon ever get married?
Mary I (1516 - 1558), daughter of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon (1485 - 1536); married Phillip II of Spain on 25 July 1554.
Mary appeared to have two phantom pregnancies during this marriage, but in the end did not produce any children.
Who makers the decisions in limited monarchy?
In an absolutist monarchy such as Saudi Arabia, the King and his chosen ministers make the laws etc.. In a constitutional monarchy such as UK, Luxembourg, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Japan, Norway, Sweden or Spain the monarch, government and parliament are separate, with the monarch staying out of politics.
Charles II was known as the Merry Monarch. This could be attributed to the liveliness of his court as well as a relief that the reign of Oliver Cromwell and the Puritans was over.
How many people did Mary Tudor burn at the stake?
Sources vary, but it's accepted that Mary I of England executed (burned) fewer than 300 heretics during her reign.
In less than four years 277 persons were burned to death. Some, like Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley, were men of influence and high position, but the majority belonged to the lower orders.

...only 283 Protestants were burnt to death during her rule, while 57,000 Catholics and Protestants were executed during Henry's time! Of course, he was King a lot longer than Mary was Queen.

There were some other executions, like Lady Jane Grey and her husband, Guilford Dudley:

However, the figure was great as she killed over 300 protestants after just one revolt. she was also ruthless as she even killed a 19 year old boy for not beleiving in transubstantiation!
