Monarchy

Louis XVI triggered the feelings of the French Revolution. The country's people where already not happy with the economic or social systems in France. When Louis XVI came into power he began wasting a lot of the country's money on unnecessary things for him self and the nobles. he created the palace of Versailles which is an extremely expensive palace that was built when he had a palace already located in France. He used this palace to hold banquets and other expensive parties. This was just one example of how he used the country's money for luxury. The French were not happy with this and this brought back many old memories of some of the corruption going on in France. The French people thought and said that they needed a revolution for their country. The where going to either bring down the king if he did not cooperate or they where willing to fight to have a better country. In summary king Louis XVI's actions sparked the French Revolution. i like trains.

He was already King of Scotland, when his cousin Elizabeth was dieing. He became King because she named him next in line when she died In this, I presume you mean James I of England. (Who was also James VI of Scotland) Please find a family tree enclosed at the following address: http://www.geocities.com/paul_j_hurley@btinternet.com/wikianswersimages/ tudor-stuart_lineage.jpg (That should all be on 1 line) * The "=" sign denotes a marriage * The Blue dates are for Kings of Scotland * The Red Dates are for England * The red line is the inheritance order for the English Throne Note that only relevant members of the royal families have been included. In short, James was Elizabeth nearest living relative through Margaret's marriage to James IV of Scotland

The Sugar Act was to get revenue from the colonies to pay for an army to protect the colonies as well as for some of the costs of the war the colonists caused. When the Sugar Act and a couple other plans failed, the passed the Stamp Act. The Quartering Act was passed to accomdate the soldiers that were placed in cities to keep the rioting down.

And remember, King George didn't pass them, Parliament did.

You are from my school i know lol , that's the excat question on my paper , but i believe Declaration of Independence.

Richard I (8 September 1157 - 6 April 1199), also known as Cœur de Lion, or Richard the Lionheart married Berengaria of Navarre, eldest daughter of Sancho VI of Navarre and Sancha of Castile, on 12 May 1191 in Limasol, Cyprus.

Henryâ??s life was full of controversy beginning with his claim to the throne of England. The War of Roses has raged for years and it was probably only due to the weakness of Richard III and the lack of Lancaster descendants remaining that Henry even had a claim to be king. He was only related to the Lancaster's was through one of John of Gauntâ??s bastards. However, Henry successfully became Henry VII on that link. In an effort to keep the dowry of Catherine of Aragon when his eldest son, Arthur died, Henry married her off to her young brother-in-law who would become Henry VIII. This proved that Henry's real Achilles Heel was greed. At the end of his life, widespread greed and corruption deep within the roots of his reign were discovered.

Because his favourite (George Villiers) Told Him it Was A Good Idea. the War Ended Very Badly.

he was absolute because he was able to remove the nobilty from power, therefore he was alone in the throne. Also he established and raised a military that was able to accomplish some of his desires.

She was born on November 2nd, 1755 and married Louis on May 16th 1770, meaning she was 14 at the time she was married.

Mary Tudor ((18 February 1516 - 17 November 1558) Queen of England as Mary 1st from July 1553 to her death.

Lady Jane Grey was queen for nine days 10 July until 19 July 1553. There were legal questions about her right to the throne, she accepted it reluctantly, then relinquished it to Mary. This was a time of strife between Protestants and Catholics in England, Mary was Catholic, Lady Jane protestant, there were uprisings and plots on both sides. Plots and rumors of plots led Mary to have Lady Jane beheaded 12 February 1554.

There were several Mary Tudors. Henry VIII had a sister named Mary Tudor who became Queen of France whose father was King Henry VII Henry VIII had a daughter with Katharine of Aragon who was named Mary as well and who became Queen of England.

Jamestown is important because it is a historic United States town. Jamestown was the first established colony in the New World.

The Declaration listed grievances against the British King. Amongst George's offenses, the Declaration charged, "He has abdicated Government here ... He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people."

The Battle of Bosworth came about due to the War of Roses, a two way battle to the throne of England. The Lancasters, headed by King Richard III fought its final battle against the Yorks, headed by Henry II.

Richard the Lionheart was King Richard the First, ruler of Britain 1189-99 AD.

You will also find references to Richard Coeur de Lion - this is the French wording for Lionhearted.

He is the king referred to in the Robin Hood tales - his brother was King John - often portrayed as the evil brother, in the same stories.

Although King of England, Richard could not speak English. He was instrumental in the 3rd crusade & fought against Saladin in Outremer. He spent about 9 months in England during his 10 year reign, for part of which he was held ransom in Austria when captured by the someone he had insulted, and the ransom was huge - 100,000 marks, i think. He was killed by a crossbow bolt laying siege to a castle in France.

His first wife was Catherine of Aragon, Henry and Catherine divorced.

His second wife was Anne Boleyn, Henry beheaded her because he thought she was having an affair and she failed to give him a male son.

His third wife was Jane Seymour, she was Henry's favourite wife because she was the only one who gave him a son (Edward). Jane died!

His fourth wife was Anne of Cleve's, Henry divorced her.

His fifth wife was Catherine Howard, Henry beheaded her because he had been told that she had been intimate with other men.

AND FINALLY! His sixth wife was Katherine Parr, Henry died whilst still married to her. SHE SURVIVED!!!!

There is a rhyme about the wives and it goes like this:

Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived!

John wasn't a bad king... he just wasn't the best off 'em all! He made everyone pay extremely high taxes and chucked all of the monks out, including the blind and crippled. John fell out with the pope allot and used to steal things from the churches, but eventually John gave in to the pope and they were like bezzy mates :) Also John used to make elderly widows pay a £3000 pound fine or he would make them remarry! But John did allot of good and hardworking things:

He had a battle for his crown and won!

On rare occasions, John would organise a large meal for poor people who haven't ate large meals a while

King John won battles against Wales, Scotland and England. He also made the navy(England's fighting ships) very strong. John made sure that trials in courts were fairer and made England richer. :)

A constitutional monarchy is a form of government in which a monarch acts as head of state within the parameters of a written

Richard the lionheart was heroic in the way he treated his mother, as Richard was the favourite son. Richards father had been unfaithful to his wife and often had affairs. Richard stood up against Henry in regards of his other. Richard supported most of his family in military and personal terms. But he especially liked his youngest sister. Richard had been very forgiving as he forgave his brother John for taking over England, which was very generous. Many sources say that Richard maay have been homosexual, if so then this leads to show that Richard was in fact not as faithful to his wife as assumed.

Richard was feared and admired by many allies and enemies, including duke Leopold and Saladin. Richard's bravery in battle was astounding although behind the scenes, Richard had a hot temper which often led to stupid mistakes, Revenge and anger. As in the flag incident, Richard himself threw the flag off the battlements, as he said that 'the flag of a mere duke is not worthy to fly with that of a kings'. This is just one result of his anger and hot temper, but he can also be swallowed by pride, as when he refused medical services while wounded at his last battle, a siege in France. But one of his greatest feats of forgiveness was while he was dying, he asked the man who had shot him why? The man responded saying that Richard killed his brothers and Parents, Hearing this Richard forgave the man and died.

Although Richard could be brave and admirable at times some of his deeds, and acts of anger show him to be the man who he really is. Not that of a hero.

Soon the Barons came to a point when they actually saw that John wasn't doing a very good job, with running the country! There are a few reasons why below:

Firstly John lost most of his empire which proved that he was weak, a weak fighter and a weak king! If England were under attack, England would lose, and if John loses, the Barons would lose!!

John then murdered his nephew Arthur. This helped cause the rebellion because it made the Barons distrust John. If he could kill his own family, he could kill anyone!

Unfortunately he only listened to a few favorite advisers, this comes to a point which means he was only listening to the people he was paying, so really in the end it was his own country which was loosing the money!

John quarrelled with the pope, as the pope was meant to be the most important person, it was extremely wrong to argue with him!

Soon John lost the battle of Bouvines in 1214, in the end the taxes went to waste so the Barons actually saw that their money was being wasted

The barons wanted more power and say in running their own affairs and extates
