What is the nationality of the windsor family?

They are British. Prince Philip comes from Greece. The myth that they're German comes from the fact that the great, great, great Grandfather of the current royal Princes was the German Prince Albert- prince consort to Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria's family had a mostly German origin, but she wasn't a German herself. The reality is though that most royal family's in Europe are and were related, so their country of origin was never that important. The current British royal family are as British as most British people today- many of whom had parents, grandparents or even great, great, great great grand parents who originated in other countries.

When was Matilda crowned the first queen of England?

Matilda was the daughter of King Henry I. When King Henry I died, Matilda was his only surviving heir (his other children had died earlier on). Matilda was supposed to be the Queen of England but refused to be crowned because she thought it would lower her dignity as all the previous Queens had only been named Queen because they were married to a king. She said that she was to be called 'the lady of the english'. Matilda ruled England for a few months until her cousin Stephen Blois took the throne from her and was named King Stephen of England.
Therefor the answer to this question is that Matilda was never crowned the first queen of England.

What problem did Edward the confessor leave behind?

The huge problem that King Edward the Confessor left behind was his broken word over naming a successor to the English throne.

Twice in public, King Edward confirmed to William of Normandy that he would name William as his successor. He also made this agreement personally with William in private.


On his deathbed, King Edward reneged on his word and named Harald Godwineson, a newphew by marriage, but not by blood. King Edward then left behind the problem of a broken, royal vow, to a legitimate blood heir to the crown in favor of one who had no blood claim on the crown.


This resulted in the Battle of Hastings in 1066 that changed the British landscape forever and the Conquest of England by William of Normandy, the Conqueror.

What kind of relationship did Henry VIII have with his siblings?

He probably did not have much of a relationship with his sister Margret because he was only 11 when she left to live in Scotland in 1502.

He had an interesting relationship with his sister Mary. When she was to marry Louis XII at 18 she tried to get out of it, but He did not want her too. Shortly after Louis' death she married Charles Brandon and he was not happy about it because he was already looking for a second husband for her. Her first son she named after him in the hopes that it would appease him.

Don't know about the relationship between him and Arthur.

Was blooby Mary bloody or misunderstood?

its bloody and she can be and not

In a way she did and in a way she didn't, she did deserve it because:

· She burnt many Protestants at the stake just because they practiced a different religion from her.

· She lost Calais, the last town that England had control of on the continent.

· She was overall a bit of a bad Queen.

Good

These are the reasons why she could have just been misunderstood:

· She was treated badly as a child (neglected by her father and wasn't allowed to see her mother.)

· She thought that she was pregnant but then found out that it was a terrible sickness instead (which probably made her really upset.)

· Her husband kept on leaving her to go back to Spain.

· Her husband didn't like her and found her unattractive.

· When she burnt the Protestants at the stake, she actually thought that she was doing the right thing and that, just before they died, they would be able to see the error of their ways and would change and be sent to heaven.
