he married Matilda of Flanders and had several children. Some of these were Robert Curthose, Richard (who was killed in a hunting accident in 1075), Cecily, Agatha, and Adela. His more valued children were William Rufus (who became King) Robert (was killed by William rufus and Henry Beauclerk (who became King after William).

He was good because he was a king. He was bad because he raped a lot of sexy women, mostly fingering their vaginas.

I don't think they had fart-counters in those days, but, as Henry was very fond of his food and drink, I suspect he was a champion wind-passer.

There were multiple Queen Marys, but the one I believe you are talking about reigned from 1553 to 1558. She is known also as "Bloody Mary" for her notorious killing of hundreds of protestants during her short reign. The follwing is a link if you wish to read more about her.

There were a number of threats to William's rule, the first being a general uprising of the Saxon people under a claimant to the throne, he quickly took actions to avoid this by replacing almost all important positions within the church and aristocracy with Norman nobles. There were also tactics such as saying he had been promised the throne by Harold Godwinson that he used to try and secure his position.

The second threat was assassination; many Anglo Saxon kings had been assassinated and it was very possible for William to one day be killed. However, his servants and trusted guards seem to have kept him safe from such threats.

As King John presided over a feudal system of government in England, he owned all of it. He claimed lordship over Wales and went some way to try and enforce this by insisting on and obtaining the hommage of the Welsh princes in return for them being allowed to remain on their lands in Wales. He tried a similar tactic in Scotland with less success. As for his 'foreign' lands, he claimed to be lord of Ireland but did little about this once he was king in England, he lost the bulk of his paternal lands in 1204 when he lost control of Anjou, Normandy and Brittany to the French king, but held Poitou still.

So, as a recap, at the start of his reign he held Brittany, Normandy, Anjou, Poitou and after the death of his mother, Aquitaine, England and claimed overlordship of Wales and to an extent Scotland. By the end of his reign he really only had any real power over England and a nominally strengthened hold on Wales that did not hold up in practice, and a presence in Poitou that he could do little to exercise.

Yes, to Catherine Parr.

The indigenous rulers and occupiers of the land, the Anglo-Saxons.

He defeated King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and took over, although he was essentially ruling over Anglo-Saxon Peasants.

The last Tudor monarch, Queen Elizabeth I, had no children, so the throne of England went to her cousin's son, King James VI of Scotland, who became James I of England and started the Stuart era.

Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) and Catherine Howard (c1520 - 1542) were married on 28 July 1540, and, after being charged with adultery, Catherine was demoted as queen on 22 November 1541. So this would make them married for about 16 months. Catherine was beheaded on 13 February 1542.

William the conqueror was extremely strict in how he exerted his power. He would take such measures as making sure all chocolate was melted with a hot spoon and that the wives never wore purple or deep violet shoes. This ensured that no uprising was made againts himself.

He sends tennis balls. Henry says he will turn the gift into weapons as he will need many weapons to fight France!

he came to Ireland to begin his campaign to regain the throne - as a Catholic he had been deposed by parliament and replaced with his Protestant daughter Mary and her husband, William of Orange. He expected and received support from the mostly Catholic Irish but was ultimately defeated by Williams army at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690

Strictly speaking, Henry didn't have any stillborn children, but his first two wives did. Katherine of Aragon was pregnant at least 7 times. Two pregnancies were miscarried, one daughter was stillborn, two sons died within weeks of being born. The only living daughter, Mary, was born in 1516. The last recorded pregnancy was in 1518 when Katherine was 33 years old. Anne Boleyn (Henry's second queen) had three stillbirths, one of whom was a son. Anne's only living child was Elizabeth who later became Queen Elizabeth.

Yes he did! It has made him so famous that they actually made a movie about it. See 'The Kings Speech'

Not under Mary. She restored Catholicism and reconciled England with Rome, it was Elizabeth who later re-established the Church of England and undid the counter-reformation of Mary's reign.

------------------------------The Church in England had always been the official Church. It was established under the Roman Emperors at the Edict of Milan,213 AD. All the Tudors did was to put the title on the statute book and make the legislation work.

It depends, everyone has a different opinion about king tut some say people thought he was the best ruler some people said he should have not been a ruler at all.

No. Richard III was killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field by Henry Tudor (later known as Henry VII), and Henry Tudor took the English Crown.

Charles was a royalist

The Tudors were related to the Platengants, They were distant cousins as were many of Nobility and Gentry of that age, When Henry Tudor VII killed Richard III in Battle he was awarded the Crown of England.

Henry and Elizabeth had 4 Children who lived to adulthood. Arthur The Prince of Wales, Henry The Duke of York who became Henry VIII, Margaret who became Queen of Scotland, and Mary Rose, who became Queen of France and Later Duchess of Suffolk.
