Monarchy

• because he wanted to appoint bishops that would make him king

Sometimes, but mostly no. If they are elected by the people they are usually persuaded to vote a certain way or there is only one candidate.

I understand it was Richard Cromwell (4 October 1626 -12 July 1712), the third son of Oliver Cromwell. Whilst he only ruled as Lord Protector of England for less than 9 months between 3 September 1658 until 25 May 1659, he lived longer than other rulers/monarchs and, therefore, "was" the oldest ruler but, was not ruling for many years before his death. Possibly the question to my answer should be, 'Which ruler of England lived the longest?'

Not the Duke of Somerset...

George VI, father of the present Queen.

A form of dictatorship is similar to an absolute monarchy. The key difference is the manner by which a new "king or dictator" is selected. The monarchy is based on family ties, while a dictatorship relies on a powerful member of the single party nation to succeed the last dictator.

Edward VI was his only official son (not born out of wedlock) but he did, atleast have one other. Henry, Duke of Richmond, was born to Bessie Blount, a mistress of King Henry He had one legitimate son (Edward VI) by Jane Seymour and one illigitmate son (Henry Fitzroy) by his mistress Elizabeth Blount.

There were other sons by Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, but these were either stillborn, miscarried or died shortly after birth.

An autocracy is a system where one person is in charge and is the ultimate authority. A monarchy is a hereditary autocracy (the next ruler is decided by relationship to the present ruler). Modern autocracies and monarchies have some limitations to and restrictions on their power.

King Henry VIII's daughter's Elizabeth I was buried there I think also Anne Boleyn (whom he divorced and behedded) and daughter Mary I (Bloody Mary) whom where all queens. I read a bunch of books on this stuff awhile back, wish I could remember more, Love this stuff!

King Henry was aptly intelligent, slightly emotional in matters of the heart and sometimes short tempered. Henry was a bit vain and strongly competitive. In his younger years he was considered athletic and rather handsome.

Pretty much the same way religion started. Someone smarter than the average claimed they had something special that made them unique and stupid people followed him. Fast forward a few hundred years and you see people are still following the same thing without even knowing why! Idiocracy is and has been in human's DNA.

1.) Mary was given the name''Bloody Mary'' because she had almost burnt innocent people and protestant at the stake in 5 years!

2.) She was a catholic but hated protestants.

3.) She accurately burnt 285 people including protestants and her sister Queen Elizabeth the 1st 5 in five years.

4.) She helped poor people.

It is commonly assumed that King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand is the richest monarch in the world, with a wealth of $30 billion. However, some dispute this, pointing out that the majority of Queen Elizabeth's (and her heir's) holdings, remains a mystery. Her wealth is divided into two. One is a Venetian-style fondo (trust), that is inalienable and must be passed on to her heir, tax-free. The second is her private collection of castles, jewelry, art, stock holdings, bonds and real estate worth about £3 billion. Her fondo trust, managed by a trust and a panel of financial institutions includes over 300 properties, a Royal art collection consisting of over 30,000 items, the Duchy of Cornwall and Lancaster (about 180,000 acres in size), the Crown Jewels, her various landholdings in the United States through proxy companies such as Delta and Pine Land, and much more. The British Parliament is forbidden from revealing the details of the trust' actual wealth, and it is believed to be administered by the Bank of England. Some has estimated the the British monarchy holdings exceeds $100 billion.

Henry VIII was famous for his six marriages to: Catherine of Aragon (divorced) Mother of Queen Mary I Anne Boleyn (Beheaded) Mother Of Elizabeth I Jane Seymour (Died) Mother of Edward VI Anne Of Cleves (Divorced) Catherine Howard (Beheaded) Catherine Parr (Survived him) He also created the Protestant church and broke away from the catholics after the pope said he could not divorce his first wife catherine of aragon. Born 1491 Died 1547

Charles second loved to through a party on any occasion

I learnt this from history books from a library and on the cbbc

channel program,Horrible Histories

Queen Elizabeth II was born on April 21, 1926

Anne was Henry VIIIs 4th wife. The marriage was not in any way a success. I have just read the link & found out she was the longest lived of all Henrys' wives, outliving Catherine Parr by 9 years. So thats' todays new piece of vital info catered for ! Anne of Cleves married Henry VIII in an arranged marriage, intended to strengthen the alliance between England and Germany. Unfortunately, Henry found her deeply unattractive and the marriage only lasted 6 months.

Anne of Cleves was well treated by Henry, she was given the house which had belonged to the family of his second wife, Anne Boleyn, and was accorded the title "The King's Sister."

An absolute monarchy, is when a monarchy or ruler has power over everything. Basically all the power is his. A constitutional monarchy ism like back in the French Revolution, where the citizens had the King sign a constitution or agreement to let them have some say in things. So an absolute ruler has all the power and power over everything and everyone. A constitutional monarchy can't have too much power and is shared with the citizens.

No-one.

There has not been a King (or Queen) of England for over 300 years.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

England is a part of, but not the same as, The United Kingdom.

The heir apparent (next in line to the throne) is her eldest son, Prince Charles. If Prince Charles should predecease the Queen, his son Prince William would become king.See the related question link below.

James I was quite a good king but he had a unfortunate hobbie spending money. But he was well educated and witty.

Charles 2nd was a Protestant his entire life, however the population of England was Protestant, meaning he had to be Protestant otherwise he would get the chop. His wife however was a Catholic which was a bit unpopular. Some rumours have it, that Charles 2nd converted to Catholic on his deathbed, and had a Catholic priest to do so, his wife was a witness.

King Charles did lots of things to upset parliament such as trying to make the country from protestant to catholic. he also used peoples money to throw big partys and buy expensive presents for more information go to historyhelp.gov/schools

She didn't. Where in the world did you come up with information saying she did?! Mary, Queen of England, was a devout Catholic. Due to her persecution of non-Catholics, and her desire to have many burnt as heretics, she was known as 'bloody Mary'. The first in a line of very prominent executions in this manner was Lord Cobham. In those days heresy was a capital offense. The problem was, many of those burnt were only heretics in the sense that they disagreed with certain aspects of Catholic teaching or would not submit to the authority of the Pope. They were not heretics in the true sense of holding heretical doctrines like, say, Arius, who denied Jesus' divinity.
