Tudor

The Queen is the head of state of 16 countries, including Canada, UK, Australia and others. She is personally associated to the UK and the Governors General represent her elsewhere. According to the UK Constitution, she is the head and source of all branches of public power, being defined as "fountain of justice" (this is why the prisons are called HM Prisons and people is condemned in the Queen's name), "fountain of legislative power" (meaning she has to approve and sign every Parliament bill to make it law), "fountain of executive power" (meaning she appoints the Prime Minister, she is the chief of the Armed Forces, she appoints all the ministers, she calls for elections, the secret services respond to her and she signs all treaties and appoints all the ambassadors as well as foreign ambassadors need to be recognised by the Queen) and "fountain of honour" (meaning she awards all the honours and recognitions of state).

Both Prince Philip and the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, are great great grandchildren of Queen Victoria. Therefore, as well as both Elizabeth and Philip being related by blood to Victoria, they are also related to each other, being third cousins.

Yes, she was briefly trained to service vehicles, as a uniformed member of the ATS (Auxiliary Training Service).

According to "Scotland: A Concise History" by James Halliday, Mary would have succeeded James II, but James had another son in 1688 described as "unexpected and inopportune". So William of Orange (ruler of Holland) was invited by the English to come and bring James into obedience. He did and ran James into exile. After some confusion the English parliament conferred the joint (England and Scotland) crown upon William and Mary. Simply put, William and Mary were married. They were also cousins, William being the son of Charles II's sister, Mary, who married William II of Orange. Thus William also had a claim to the English and Scottish throne (I believe he was right after Mary and Anne). However, William did not want to be king through Mary's grace, but through his own (He did not want to be tied to Mary's strings) and he also wanted to remain king if Mary predeceased him (which she did). These were the conditions of his acceptance of the English and Scottish throne.

used a number of different tactics to reduce the power of the monarchy. They tried and executed unpopular officials. They also Passed the Triennial Act, which required Parliament to meet every three

Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar.

King Louis XVI made many mistakes in his reign, most of what he did was to benefit the people of France, he was not properly educated in ruling though, plus he lacked charisma. Here are his main mistakes: * He was far more interested in personal intererests intsead of country interests. * He funded the American Revolution, which made the national debt even worse. * He took alot of advice from his wife, Marie Antionette, who was despised by the French people. * He dismissed Jaques Necker and other allies in court from the people. * And he tried to escape the night they stormed the bastille, therfore declaring himself an enemy of the people.

Richard Egan died on July 20, 1987 at the age of 65.

Queen Elizabeth II is the oldest serving monarch in British history at the age of 86 years 50 days (as of June 10,2012);her paternal great-great grandmother,Queen Victoria,the longest reigned monarch in 63 years,216 days(1837-1901) died at the age of 81 years 243 days.

Yes he did visit India in 1911 as Emperor of India.

Henry 8th had 3 children and after he died his long wanted son Edward 6th took his place but when Edward died at the age of 15 his sucessor was Lady Jane Grey she ruled for 9 days and was executed at 16 for high treason so the throne went to Mary 1st ( tudor) and she rules for 5 years burning protestant's along the way the her wonderful sidter Elizebeth 1st came and ruled for 44 years she also defeted the spanish and her reign was the longest. Until Queen Victoria came along in 1837 and reigning for almost 64 years! Because Queen Elizabeth I was the longest reigning Queen her era was called "The golden age".

Nothing happens on the queens birthday. When the Queen dies there would be a public holiday as it would be a state funeral. I also presume that the coronation for Charles would be a public holiday...

it is the 21st of April i believe

im not shore it might be the 21st of april

Yes, Elizabeth I- who reigned l558-l603. This is the most logical explanation. There was also a Saint Elizabeth- in the Bible- and around l234 AD ( easy number to remember) Saint Elisabeth ( I am using the Continental spelling) of Hungary who was noted for her charitable deeds. While never Canonized, the martyred ( by an assasin) Empress Elisabeth of Austria is the namesake of the Elisabeth Bridge, a very large bridge in Europe and one of the first to be totally pre-fabbed with specially rolled steel for some components. This is in the city of Budapest. Bridge has been rebuilt several times, to rectify war damages.

William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, and Thomas Kyd were all playwrights under Queen Elizabeth I, who was a Tudor monarch. The earliest Tudor playwright was Nicholas Udall, who wrote Ralph Roister Doister.

No; Edward III was 14-15 years old when he was crowned. It can be any age whatsoever, just highly unlikely to be very young.

Lady Jane Grey was Queen of England for 9 days, after Edward (Henry VIII's son) declared that she would succeed him, rather than Mary. After 9 days of ruling Mary came in to London and removed Jane from power. She was found guilty of High Treason and beheaded on 19 February 1554. She was only 16/17 at the time.

Then as now Catholic Priests could not marry; but Anglican Priests who were not members of religious orders were allowed to get married.

Nope: it's the other way round. Mary I of Scotland (Mary, Queen of Scots) was executed on the order of Elizabeth I in Fotheringhay Castle, Northamptonshire in 1567. Plus, Mary I of Scotland and Elizabeth I of England were not half-sisters. Elizabeth I was first cousin of Mary I's father. You've probably confused Mary I of Scotland with Mary I of England, who was Elizabeth I's half-sister, enemy and predecessor. Mary I of England (Bloody Mary) died a natural death, as did Elizabeth I

They were all children of Henry VIII by different women.

Mary (b. 1516) was a lot older than the other two, but took a liking to both of them, when they were young. She was Edward's godmother and taught Elizabeth how to play the lute. The two half-sisters played cards together and exchanged presents.

Catherine Parr did much to heal some of the wounds in the royal family and both sisters often visited Edward VI when she was queen. Elizabeth gave him presents and Edward wrote to Mary that he loved her the most.

Religion got in the way of these good relationships after their father died.

Edward disapproved of Mary being a Catholic.

He had the same tutor as Elizabeth and shared her beliefs. He would, however, pass not just Mary over, but also her when he changed the succession in favor of the protestant Jane Grey.

After his death, with Mary queen, she first welcomed Elizabeth to court. As she refused to give up protestantism wholeheartedly, she became suspicious of her. Rebels fought Mary in an attempt to get her on the throne, even if Elizabeth didn't condone this (in writing at least). Elizabeth was first locked up in the Tower and then the countryside, where she remained until she became queen herself.

Jean-Baptiste Lully was the French composer and main musician at Louis XV's court. He was born in 1632 and spent most of his adult life in the king's court.

Mary Tudor or Mary I was the daughter of King Henry VIII and Queen Catherine of Aragon.

She became queen of England at the age of 36 and was called "Bloody Mary" because of her zero tolerance for other religions than catholism.

Her father was a systems analyst and her mother worked in a call centre before quitting to become a housewife.
