How many executions by Edward VI were for religious reasons?

During Edward VI's reign (1547-1553), there were relatively few executions, and the majority were not directly for religious reasons. However, around 300 people were executed for heresy under his rule, primarily due to the ongoing religious conflicts between Protestantism and Catholicism in England. The most notable case was that of the Duke of Somerset's execution in 1552, which had political motives but also reflected the religious tensions of the time. Overall, while some executions had religious undertones, the number specifically attributed to religious reasons was limited compared to other periods.

What Officially ended the Stuarts' line of succession to the English throne?

This depends on how you mean. Anne, Queen of England and Ireland, younger daughter of James VII and II, died childless, thus there were no more Stuarts to inherit the throne, leaving it to the House of Hanover.

However, because the monarch died childless doesn't mean that the house ended there. The Royal house of Stuart died out with the death of Cardinal Henry Benedict, brother of 'Bonnie' Prince Charles Edward.

Why was King John unfair to his barons?

King John needed to rebuild his funds after he lost the war to King Phillip II. He attempted to do this by demanding a "scutage" (a fee paid in lieu of military service) from his barons who did not join him in his war with King Phillip II. These barons questioned the kings policies. They insisted he reestablishing Henry I's Coronation Oath. This put limits on the kings ability to obtain funds. King John refused. The rebelling barons began to loose momentum until an unexpected capture of London. This gave them a bargaining chip, so King John agreed to a Constitution. This is how the Magna Carta came about.

Does the Duke of Westminster own Buckingham Palace?

Buckingham Palace is owned by the "Queen in right of the Crown". Meaning that she doesn't own it as a private person but rather as the personification of the crown. As long as the monarchy remains, the palace will be owned by the sovereign, but he or she doesn't have the right to sell it. The Duke of Westminster owns a lot of land in London but Buckingham Palace is not one of them. Technically the Queen owns more of London than any one, through the Crown Estates, Royal Parks, Royal Palaces and the Duchy of Lancaster, but once again she doesn't have the right to sell any of these as a private individual.

Which one of anti-catholic sentiment erupted in Maryland when in 1689 news arrived of the deposition of a James you b Charles ii c James ii d Charles you?

james ll
The deposition of James II, king of England and the colonizer of Maryland. James II was a very sincere and loyal Catholic convert, who was tolerant of all religions and sought to allow Catholics freedom of worship in England. He even appointed Catholics to his privy council, although this was in violation of English law. King James' officers and bishops all defected and on December 10, 1688 he fled to France. Most of England, protestant at that time, united with Dutch troops marching into London on December 17, and a day later William and Mary entered London and on the last of 1688 the House of Lord asked them to take over the government. The news didn't reach Maryland until 1689.
