Why did edward VIII sign his signature with RI?
Initials stand for Rex Imperator - i.e. King, and Emperor of India.
Yes. Bloody GIR was conceived by the creator of Invador ZIM who wanted to use it in one of his episodes. GIR is drenched in blood with his eyes glowing red, which signals that he's in combat mode. Nickelodeon would not allow this to be used on the show, so the creator of the show secretly inserted it into a few episodes. It is almost impossible to notice, because it is only visible for one frame and is very faded. Once word of this started getting around, the Nickelodeon network decided to fire the creator of the show, resulting in no more new episodes of Invador ZIM. However, the few times the show plays today, Bloody GIR is still in those few episodes.

How does a theocracy differ from a monarchy?
Monarchy is rule by a king, prince, emir, sultan, or other hereditary power-holder. Theocracy is rule by a religious leader or a person who is believed to be a god-in-the-flesh. In many societies, monarchies have been theocracies since the king was believed to be a physical god, such as in ancient Egypt or as recently as World War II Japan. However, you can have monarchies that are either secular states or states where there is an official religion, but this religion does not have ruling power. You can also have theocracies where the rulership comes to power via internal appointment or quasi-democratic election as opposed to heredity, so these would be non-monarchic theocracies.

Why did Philip II of Spain start the inquisition?
The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition(Spanish: Tribunal del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición), commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition (Inquisición española), was a tribunal established in 1480 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragonand Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, and to replace the Medieval Inquisition which was under Papal control. It became the most substantive of the three different manifestations of the widerChristian Inquisition along with the Roman Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition.
The Inquisition was originally intended in large part to ensure the orthodoxy of those who converted from Judaism and Islam. This regulation of the faith of the newly converted was intensified after the royal decrees issued in 1492 and 1501 ordering Jews and Muslims to convert or leave.
Various motives have been proposed for the monarchs' decision to fund the Inquisition such as increasing political authority, weakening opposition, suppressing conversos, profiting from confiscation of the property of convicted heretics, reducing social tensions and protecting the kingdom from the danger of a fifth column.
The body was under the direct control of the Spanish monarchy. It was not definitively abolished until 1834, during the reign ofIsabella II, after a period of declining influence in the previous century.
