Monarchy

In the Battle of Hastings William shot King Harold in the eye.He had a better army than King Harold and Harold Hardrada. William had battle men knights on horses for the attack.I also found out that he built ships that contained his forces across the sea. Also he was brave and encouraged his men at a time of difficulty and made them use the clever trick of making the English army run up and down the hill.

England and France were not at war during WW2.

They could have been. Just after the German invasion of France, Churchill feared the French fleet could be used to attack British positions in the Mediterranean Sea.

So, on July 1940, the English sank the French fleet situated in Mers-el Kebir (Algeria), the Vichy ministers tried to convince Maréchal Pétain to declare war to England. Pétain refused saying "one defeat is enough".

General De Gaulle who settled a "Free-France" government in London, declared that the Catapult Operation was justified and he prefered the French Fleet to be destroyed than in the hands of Germany.

Even, if war was not declared, French Vichy and Great Britain broke every diplomatic link.

The Stuart dynasty. It was founded by Elizabeth I's successor, James VI of Scotland in 1603.

Harald Hardrada was a good fighter from Norway. He thought he had right to the English throne when Edward died so he went to battle with harold godwinson and supposably was killed then (battle at Stamford Bridge), but it is also thought he could have run away in fear.

She went into deep mourning, and never really came out of it.

Initially, the public did not approve of this. They wanted to see something for their tax. There were anonymous pamphlets with titles like "What does she do with it all?"

They preferred her son, the Prince of Wales, who was always on show at the races or at the theatre, even though he was criticised for idleness (not entirely his fault, as the Queen had refused to give him a job).

However, during the second half of her long reign, her popularity increases substantially. During her Golden and Diamond Jubilees there was an outpouring of affection for her and she was widely mourned when she died in 1901.

He was referred to as a gangster because of the way he treated his henchman and he went against people who did not support him as a king. He created many unfair laws and treated people despicably. (In other words: he was very mean to people and treated them like slaves.) But in some ways, he was a very good king because when he defeated Richard III in the Battle of Bosworth field, he had put an end to the War of Roses. He also established the Tudor Dynasty which was a European royal house of Welsh origin. There is no right or wrong answer to whether he was a gangster or not, but the majority of people would say that he was. Hope I helped! :)

Edwards mother, Emma of Normandy was the sister of Richard 2nd of Normandy. Richard is the grandfather of William the Conqueror. Hope this helps. It took me ages to find this out.

lord Stanley killed Richard III after Richard killed Henry standard barer and was about to kill Henry Tudor but lord Stanley intervened and found the kings crown in a bush and rewarded it to Henry Tudor, then came the great Tudors!

Actually, it was not Stanley, personally, but his troops who surrounded and unhorsed Richard, hacked him to death with their halberds, and stripped his body. Apparently, Stanley did find the crown in the bushes near the body.

He was a prince, the King's son. He pulled the sword from the stone, which recognized him as King.

At various times she is in residence at Buckingham Palace, London, Sandringham House, Norfolk, Windsor Castle, Windsor, Balmoral, Scotland. At other times she is on progress to various parts of the world conducting official visits. She, I am sure, visits her children at their various homes. Right now she's probably at Balmoral. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is not, and never has been, the Queen of England. That title has not existed since the year 1707. She is Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which includes England.

See related questions below.

There has not been a King or Queen of England for over 300 years.

England is a part of, but not the same as, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

In 1902, the British monarch was King Edward VII who reigned from 22 January 1901 - 6 May 1910.

At that time, his title was King of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland - see the related question link below.

I'm learning about this atm so I hope this helps!

John was nicknamed Lackland because he had lost so much land.

He was constantly arguing with the Pope which caused monks to write bad accounts about John which may have been biased due to what the Pope had told them.

Despite making many mistakes in his reign, John would sometimes act as judge in court and he was very good at it too!

Hope I helped you!

Typically, the monarchs gained power through a combination of financial strength, military might and political conniving. For a more specific answer, you will need to specify a particular monarch.

Masquerades were a way for the Nobility and the King, Queen or both to have fun and push aside protocol and class distinction in the court. It was a way that the King could flirt with someone or a titled noble could flirt without the worry of a scandal breaking out of an assumed or imagined affair that would become the next gossip subject in court. All in all, it was a way to have fun and break free from class restraints.
