Did Richard the Lionheart kill his father?

The legend is that the nose of Henry II's corpse bled in the presence of his son Richard, suggesting that he caused his father's death. Historically, Richard fought against his father on multiple occasions while Richard's older brother Henry (the Young King) was the nominal ruler of England (young Henry died in 1183).

Although they apparently reconciled in 1174, Henry's plan to name his (younger) son John to the throne prompted Richard to join Philip II of France against Henry in 1189, forcing Henry to name Richard his heir. Two days after Henry did so, he died, leaving Richard as king.

In 1295 king Edward the first established what?

He made an important change to the way in which Parliament functioned in 1295. During all previous meetings of the Royal Parliament, in addition to the noble and ecclesiastical lords, two knights from each county and also two representatives from each borough. Whereas previously, the borough representatives had been expected to just 'rubber stamp' the decisions made by the magnates, in the Parliament of 1295 the borough representatives were sent with the elected backing of their communities, and had the right to voice an opinion in decisions that affected them. They were, in effect, the predecessors of what were later to become MPs. Edward felt that by giving the borough reps this entitlement, he could be more sure of exacting taxes from the populace with the backing of the people, who would not be resentful about paying them and would stave off the possibility of a popular revolt. This change was said to have been brought about when earlier in the same year, the Dean of St.Paul's Cathedral went to confront the King about high taxation levels, but fell down and died when in his presence because the King had such a fierce temper. This shocked even Edward- he acknowledged his fiery moods, but never intended that a man of the cloth should be so frightened of him that he should DIE upon meeting him!

This change to the way that Parliament functioned was described by contemporary chroniclers as the 'Model Parliament', as it gave the very first inklings of democratic government- but it was to take the Peasants Revolt of 1381, the Welsh Uprising of 1400-10, and the English Civil War of 1642-45, to establish what was to evolve into true democratic rule.

Is it possible for the crown prince become king even if he marries a divorcee?

Well, King Edward VIII was chased off the throne because he married a divorcee - he was forced to Abdicate. The newspapers, at the time, said that the issue was that the King could not be the Head of the Church of England and, at the same time, be married to a divorcee. The Reigning Sovereign of England is also the Head of the Church of England carrying the title 'Defender of the Faith', and therein lies the problem. In England, Church and State are one - not separate like in the United States.

Prince Charles, it appears, re-interprets the title as 'Defender of All Faiths' which is a punch in the stomach to Christianity. So it appears as if there are two choices in the future of England: either abandon Christianity or bring about the separation of Church and State - which will probably result in the same thing - just look at what is happening in the United States. In the end, divorce, lust and adultery and no one to put a stop to it, will destroy the Christian Church, and eventually, all peoples and governments will become atheists.

Since Prince Charles has married Camilla, the House of Winsor, and the Archbishop of the Church of England have tied themselves into knots to foil their own rules: for example, insisting that it only be a civil ceremony and not allowing Camilla to have the title, 'Queen' but only 'consort'. But in the end, if Prince Charles can get away with it, then King Edward VIII was chased off the throne illegitimately and he, and his descendants and designates have the better claim to the throne - so the current batch are all undermining their own claim to the throne, in the end. In the olden days a situation such as this would lead to civil war. When their brains migrate to below their belly-button, the common people get killed.

That is my answer anyway. So says, Bob Crawford
