Tennis, jousting and hunting.

king Henry the VIII liked was hunting

He played tennis. ('Royal' or 'real' tennis as opposed to lawn tennis.)

He had a tennis court installed at Hampton Court.

When he was younger he used to enjoy jousting, hunting and playing tennis but as he got older he became more unhealthy and could not go on with any more sports.

Henry VIII was know as a man who loved sporting so any even that was popular at that time he might have played. The two sports that the King was well known for enjoying are Hunting and Jousting. The King was often out riding on the various hunts, and when younger he was known for being brave in the circle of the joust.

Henry VII was born at Pembroke Castle in Wales on 28 January 1457.

He died on the 21st April 1509 at Richmond Palace

Henry VII of England died in England on April 21st 1509 from tuberculosis. He was 52 years, 2 months and 24 days old when he died.

This is one of history's greatest mysteries.

Edward V and his brother Richard (often known as the Princes in the Tower) were kept in the tower of London by their uncle, Richard III when he seized power.

Some believe that Richard murdered them, others that they were killed by his sucessor, Henry VII. Still others think that they survived into adulthood and returned to claim their throne in the form of "pretenders" such as Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck.

The people of Italy voted for the abolition of the monarchy in a referendum in 1946. They wanted to get rid of the monarchy because of its association with the fascists led led by the dictator Benito Mussolini.

The major turning point in the downfall of absolute monarchies was the execution of Louis XIV. This is what brought enlightenment to the people who were being ruled through absolute monarchies.

Edward and Richard.

King Henry the VIII became famous for a few reasons. He was the second son of Henry VII, the first son being Arthur, who died before he could ascend to the throne. Henry VIII became the second Tudor King of England in April, 1509, though he is mostly remembered for his plethora of wives.

He originally married Katherine of Aragon, who was the intended wife of his brother, Arthur, before his death. Katherine bore Henry a daughter, Mary, but after a succession of miscarriages, was unable to bear Henry the son he craved to carry on the Tudor dynasty. A woman by the name of Anne Boleyn caught his eye and he began to see her as an option for a new chance at a male heir. He began divorce proceedings (then unheard of for a monarch) against Katherine of Aragon on the basis that his marriage to her was invalid due to her engagement to his brother, Arthur, in order to marry Anne Boleyn. The pope refused this request, and eventually Henry separated from Rome and proclaimed himself the head of the Church of England, instead of the Pope and signed off on his own divorce. He married Anne Boleyn, who bore him a daughter, Elizabeth. Anne also had several miscarriages and was unsuccessful at providing a male heir. Henry became frustrated with his new wife and eventually had her beheaded to make way for Jane Seymour, who did finally give him a son, Edward, but then died in childbirth. After her death, he married Anne of Cleves, but quickly annulled the marriage apparently based on the fact that her appearance was not pleasing enough for him. He then married young and beautiful Kathryn Howard, then soon after had her beheaded for infidelity. His final wife, Katherine Parr, remained married to him until his death in 1547.

Of course, he was also involved with many other women during his lifetime, some even bore him male children, but since Henry was not married to the mothers of these children, they were considered illegitimate and therefore could not take the throne.

King Henry the VIII was also an accomplished musician, and actually wrote the ballad "Greensleeves". His court was filled with some of the most accomplished minds of his time. His reign marked the beginning of the split of England from Rome, and the eventual change from Catholicism to Protestantism.

The political structure of the British Isles has changed several times through history, leading to changes to the official names of the country and therefore the title of the monarch.

England is one of the four regions which make up what is now "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", the others being Scotland, The Principality of Wales and the Province of Northern Ireland.

There has not been a King (or Queen) of "England" on its own, since England, Scotland and Wales were united as "The United Kingdom of Great Britain" in the year 1707.

In 1812, the monarch was King George III. He was born on 4th June 1738, began his reign on 25th October 1760 and reigned until his death on 29th January 1820

At the beginning of his reign, his title was King of Great Britain and he held the then separate title King of Ireland.

On 1st January 1801, the crowns of Great Britain and Ireland were united and he became King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

He was succeeded by his son, King George IV, who was born on 12th August 1762, became King on his father's death on 29th January 1820 and reigned until his own death on 26th June 1830. George IV was also King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

George IV was succeeded by his younger brother, King William IV. William was born on 21st August 1765, became King on 26th June 1830 and reigned until his death on 20th June 1837. He too, was King of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

William IV was followed by Queen Victoria, a grand daughter of George III, and niece of William IV.

She was born on 24th May 1819, became Queen on 20th June 1837 and reigned until she died on 22nd January 1901.

Victoria was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and, from 1st May 1876, Empress of India.

To complete the story of the changing names of the country, the southern part of Ireland was separated in 1922, to become what is now The Republic of Ireland, and the six counties of Northern Ireland remained a part of the United Kingdom.

He was lucky because when he was waiting for the wind to change, it took about 2 weeks so he had plenty of time to prepare. Also, when the wind did change Harold was up in york so he had more time to prepare! When Harold eventually came from the battle with harald all his men were really tired AND William had fifteen thousand souldiers, whilst William had only five thousand tired ones.

he banned sport because he didn't like them and he had an injury over them

According to Shakespeare and the Tudor historians he relied on, Richard initially asks Buckingham to plot the murders of the two young princes, but then instead seeks help from Tyrell when Buckingham hesitates (perhaps because he felt that killing the children was too harsh). Tyrell then hires two men, who have murdered in the past, to complete the deed. Therefore, Richard did not physically commit the murders, but it was his orders that initiated and allowed for it.

For centuries, however, there have been a group of people who contend that this story is Tudor propaganda, and that the princes were murdered by Henry Tudor after his victory at Bosworth Field. It is certainly true that if they were alive at that point then Henry would have killed them (he and his son slaughtered all the remaining Plantagenets very expeditiously.) The most famous brief for the pro-Richard faction is Josephine Tey's novel The Daughter of Time.

Most historians would agree that Shakespeare's portrayal of Richard III is ridiculously skewed and that he did not commit most of the atrocities attributed to him. The murder of the princes is the one crime which most would agree he did commit in some way (not necessarily in the way set out in the Sir Thomas More history referenced above)

King Henry II got angry because Thomas Becket betrayed him by kicking out all the loyal people in the church of England and also kicked out the Archbishop of York. So king Henry II sent out knights to search and to kill Thomas Becket. Then King Henry II tried to stop the nights but it was too late. So that is why King Henry II got angry with Thomas Becket.

King George VI died in his sleep from a coronary thrombosis on February 6, 1952. He had been sick for some years, suffering the effects of heavy smoking, the stress of World War II, and arteriosclerosis. In March 1949, an arterial blockage in his right leg was operated on. In 1951 King George VI developed lung cancer and underwent a pneumonectomy. He was 56 when he passed away.

William had won a decisive victory at Hastings, but he had yet to win the kingdom. Archbishop Stigand immediately put forward Edgar "The Atheling", Edward's great-nephew, forward as new king. However, Williams brutal march through Kent, Bershire and Winchester in October and November isolated London and the remaining figures of Harold's regime: Edwin, Morcar, Edgar and his sister Edith all surrender to William.

From 1067 -1071 a series of revolts across England posed a great threat to his fragile government. He put them down with great brutality; any pretence he had to being the legitimate heir of Edward "The Confessor" was ended during this period. To underpin his occupation he built hundreds of castles across the Kingdom, garrisoned by armed, mounted troops. Only after 1075, after a rebellion by his own earls, was the first phase of the conquest complete, and by this time England was under virtual military law.

she was ugly

Victoria was the Queen of the United Kingdom from 1837 until her death in 1901. So I suppose the literal answer is that England didn't have a king in 1865, for two reasons: First, Victoria was a Queen (a queen's husband is called a "consort"). Second, England was not the name of the country at the time, but rather one of the "constituent countries" of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland".
