Monarchy

When she was giving birth to Edward. As they didn't have many doctors and surgeons in those days as she was giving birth she caught and infection that couldn't be healed so it caused her to die.

At that time the Catholic church was very corrupt and made a lot of money through indulgences (certificates to get you into heaven), relics (e.g. bits of the cross) and St Peter's Pence (they asked for donations to rebuild St Peter's Basilica in Rome but never did and kept the money). The Pope even took 10% out of the country's taxes.

Another of Henry's problems was that Catherine of Aragon was getting too old to have children and "boring" (she was older than him because he married his dead brother's wife to keep the peace with Spain). He decided that he would marry Anne Boleyn as she was young, fashionable and very pretty. But he needed a divorce first.

Henry first tried to get an annulment from Catherine because he said he shouldn't have been able to marry his dead brother's wife (which he got special permission for at the time). But Catherine said that the marriage was never consummated and the Pope refused.

As Protestantism was beginning to spread in other countries, Henry set up a new branch of Protestantism, The Church of England with him (or the reigning English monarch as the head.) That way, he was able to grant himself a divorce and keep all the money that would have gone to Rome.

The key mistake Richard made was his impromptu charge on Henry Tudor as a last ditch attempt to defeat Henry and save his crown. Just before he reached Henry, he was thrown off his horse and killed, effectively handing victory to Henry Tudor.

Buckingham Palace was completed in 1837, the year that King William IV died and Queen Victoria came to the throne. Thus it has been occupied by all British sovereigns since William IV, but these do not yet number as high as ten! They are:

William IV (died 1837)

Victoria (reigned 1837-1901)

Edward VII (reigned 1901-1910)

George V (reigned 1910-1936)

Edward VIII (reigned only briefly, for 9 months in 1936)

George VI (reigned 1936-52)

Elizabeth II (reigned 1952-present)

It should be stressed that the Palace is the administrative centre for the British Royal family, where they receive visiting dignitaries and host VIP functions, but it is not their official home, which is Windsor Castle. Buckingham Palace is actually owned by the British State, with Windsor Castle actually the PROPERTY of the Royals.

He died on May 28th 1972 at the age of 77 in 4 Rue du Champ d'Entraînement, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Paris, France.

It's the other way round. James 1 (James 6 of Scotland) took the throne after the death of Elizabeth 1.

The Carolinas.

The Welsh Devolved Government is effectively a Parliamentary government with no monarch, but Wales remains a smaller part of the the UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND(UK). The UK is a constitutional monarchy and all of its parts, including Wales, are part of that monarchy.

George V, Elizabeth II's grandfather, was king in 1935, he reigned with his queen consort, Queen Mary. 1936 was known as the year of three kings because the year started with George V as king, then he died and Edward VIII, later the Duke of Windsor became king, Elizabeth II's uncle. Edward was infatuated with an American divorcee, Wallis Simpson, and when the people refused to accept her as queen, he abdicated. George VI, Elizabeth II's father, then became king with his queen consort, Queen Elizabeth. In 1952, Elizabeth II became queen and has been queen since.

Henry VIII solved the problem of not having a son by having a son. He finally had a son with his third wife.

The House of Stuart.

As a child William the conqueror was contantly in hiding, many people attempted to kill him while he was a child so they could have the throne for themselves. When he became a teenager, Edmund the confessor trained him as a warrior and conqueror.

Henry VIII was quite successful in wars, he fought with Scotland and France. He got Calais from France which had a big port for goo trade. he also pushed the English border further up the map into Scotland.

The King of England in 1700 was King William III, the last Stuart King.

A traitor is everyone who does not agree with me. Once vigorous measures appear to be the only means left of bringing the Americans to a due submission to the mother country, the colonies will submit. I can never suppose this country so far lost to all ideas of self-importance as to be willing to grant America independence; if that could ever be adopted I shall despair of this country being ever preserved from a state of inferiority and consequently falling into a very low class among the European States."

Henry Vlll did not have many exotic pets. The only one that might be exotic would be the ferret. He also had dogs, and horses.
