The relationship did not change when George III came to the throne. Right up until near the end of the American War of Independence it was the British government that was the focus of American hate and only in the last stages of British rule in America did the relationship between the monarch and the colonists change for the worse. He and his predecessors were previously seen by the majority of Americans as "paternal guardians" and it is a myth that the king was the source of their troubles as George III did not have the power to make laws, raise taxes etc. The negative relationship between him and the colonists was established when George Washington and the revolutionaries needed a figure head to direct their frustration onto. Since George III was the figure head of Britain (as Elizabeth II is today) it made sense to use him as a scapegoat.

Was it easy for Mary to make England catholic?
No, but after burning up to 300 people her hard work paid off. Just before she died she finally got England Catholic. Most Protestants were either dead or had left the country. Mary thought that killing her enemies would make her look like a strong queen and that she should be obeyed, and when people tried to rebel against her, they got no support because the whole of England were frightened of Mary.
Hope this helps :P

Who was George VI's first nanny?
No, Marion Crawford was the nanny George VI hired to care for his two daughters, the present queen and her sister - Elizabeth II and Margaret.
George VI's abusive nanny was either Mrs Green, Mary Peterson, or Mary Peters. Unfortunately there is very little evidence of past house hold staff though I have managed to uncover these three names which fit the "sadistic" first nanny of George VI and Edward VIII.
- Mrs Green evidence - According to the book Born Royal, by Hough, members of the household of the time say "Mrs Green was not a mentally stable woman. She was unable to have children herself and her husband had left her. But before she was married she had completed a full training as a children's nursemaid, and had found employment in the Duke and Duchess of Newcastle's place."
- Mary Peterson evidence - The book Royal Trivia: All you ever wanted to know about the Royal Family, by Sarah Edmunds tells of a certain Mary Peterson was the head nanny at York Cottage. The book mentions that she was committed to an asylum for the mentally unbalanced.
- Mary Peters evidence - This name is just probably an abbreviation of the above Mary Peterson so probably the same person but the book Matriarch, by Anne Edwards the nanny of york cottage is referred to as Mary Peters.
As for the "good" nanny that reported the "bad" nanny, there is a lot of info about her. This is because she was the children's nanny till they did not need a nanny any more. Her name was Mrs Charlotte Bill. She was know as "lalla" by the boys (David and Bertie). She had been engaged as an under nurse to the bad nanny and cared exclusively for John, the new baby (David and Berties younger brother). It took her only 3 weeks to realise that there was something seriously wrong with the Head Nanny and reported her. Lalla became principal nurse after the dismissal of the "sadistic" head nurse and remained in the family's service until 1919.

What led to increasing power of kings in Europe around 1000 AD?
Christianity, strangely enough. Since Christianity had become a state religion in the Roman Empire, having the Roman Emperor to thank for that, it had developed the principle that an emperor or king was not just some uppity general, but 'God's anointed', certainly if the anointing had been done by the Pope or one of his bishops.
The year 1000 AD was the period that Christianity became the state religion in northern and eastern Europe. Until then, succession in these parts had always been the survival of the strongest contender and 'heathen' kings were little more than the first among equals, who had to prove themselves constantly to keep their position. After the advent of Christianity, the kings that were willing to convert were rewarded by the bishops and priests telling their subjects that he held the throne 'by the grace of God' and rebelling against him was to rebel against God and the natural order of things as the Church saw it.
Also in Western Europe, with the growing power of the Church organization came the ever-stronger support of the king's position by the Church. On the other hand, in the rare cases where a king fell out with the Pope the church saw no problem in excommunicating him and telling his subjects that they should no longer regard him as their lawful ruler.
