Monarchy

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.

He separated England from the Roman Catholic church and formed the Church of England - one where he was the head figure of the church, thus he was allowed to make his own rules.

George V never married Wallis Simpson, his son Edward did (and staid married to her until his death).

King George III was born in London at Norfolk House.

She was queen for 3 yrs

Bloody lucky, Harold had to deal with two invading armies. He led his men on a 4 day forced march from London to Stamford Bridge in Yorkshire collecting levies as he went. He defeated the invading Vikings (Norwegian) and then marched back south to take William on just 3 weeks after the Battle. William's tactics of softening up the Saxons with archers and then following up with infantry and cavalry didn't work. The Saxon shield wall held and Williams forces both infantry and cavalry broke on the shield wall and eventually led by the Bretons fled pursued by the Saxons. William managed to rally them hold the Saxons and launch a counter attack causing many casualties amongst the main armoured troops. Many died and of those who didn't many could not regain their former positions. After a lull in the fighting a change of target for the archers in behind the Shield wall and the loss of front line troops enabled William to find weaknesses in the shield wall which he then exploited.

So if it hadn't been for the lilly livered cheese eating surrender monkey Breton division history would have been completely different and Harold lauded as a brilliant commander defeating two invading armies in 3 weeks. History huh!

King Charles II of England did not find South Carolina, but did name it for his father, Charles I. The colony of Carolina was founded in the 1670's and was split into northern and southern colonies in 1719.

Henry VIII was lustful, selfish, and eventually gluttonous.

According to some commentators he had some 70,000 people executed and looted the monasteries and other religious houses of money and land! He extorted money from the Church and sustained an accident in a joust, which unfortunately didn't kill him. but appears to have had deleterious affects on his mental state and caused obesity! He obtained an annulment from his first wife and having five others had two executed!

One of the things he did was to point out that the pope's activities were illegal and were against the teachings of the Ecumenical Councils, especially the Council of Nicaea. This caused the Pope to sever communion with Henry but left him a catholic prince!

He killed his family just to take over the throne such as his nephew, then stole land from the barons (lords) and made them outlaws ( the story of Robin Hood was based on this). He even signed the Magna Carta and then broke its rule. and killed people with bare hands. the end

Anne Boleyn was executed on May 19th, 1536. She didn't have anything tucked under her arms during her execution, but ghost stories about her death include references to her "carrying her head tucked beneath her arm."

No. You are probably thinking of King Charles I (1600 - 1649), son of James I and father of James II. During the English Civil War (1641 - 1651), the army of Royalists loyal to the king, were eventually defeated by the Parliamentarian army loyal to Oliver Cromwell. Charles I was tried for treason to the people and executed on 30 January 1649 outside the Banqueting House in Whitehall, London. He was very brave, and wore two shirts because he did not want people to think he was shivering with fear. In 1660, his son, Charles II, was returned to the throne as king within two years of Cromwell's death, and the monarchy restored (the Restoration).

King George III was a horrible person. The colonists wanted independence and they sent him letters and things to make deals but King George wouldn't listen and didn't care about the colonists. He just wanted his empire to be strong.

Lancaster - red rose

York - white rose

King John had a number of children, one of whom succeeded him as King Henry III.

The general layout of peasant houses was the same everywhere, but actual construction methods depended on local traditions and materials. In south-west England, for example, stone was widely available and was used for the foundations and the lower parts of the walls, with cob used for the upper sections. Elsewhere wattle and daub was applied to a framework of oak beams.

The houses were rectangular, single storey, thatched buildings with either no internal walls or simple partitions. Thatch was of straw or rushes and there was no chimney, no glass in the windows and either a wooden or packed earth floor.
