Monarchy

The only 3 names mentioned in the Bible are Cain, Abel, and Seth. Adam also had "other sons and daughters," though they aren't named.

He died of heart failure.

He was Duke of Normandy, invaded England, killed Harold Godwinesson, and took charge of the thrown.

No, he was king of England.

He believed he, not Harold Godwinson, should be king. In 1066, His army of knights defeated Harold's foot soldiers. William was then crowned king of England and became known as William the Conquerer. -Journey Across Time Glencoe

Mary I was a religious fanatic and burned over 300 prominent (and also some very ordinary) Protestants. The official excuse given by the Roman Catholics for this was that they were burning dangerous heretics and were doing them a favor by destroying their bodies in the hope of saving their souls. The exact number of Protestants killed is unknown but it was over 300, mostly by burning at the stake.

A) She is Mary Tudor (Mary I) not Bloddy Mary B) no idea :P

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_rose. The red represents the house of Lancaster, and the white the house of York. When the two families came together, they created a rose which represented the emblems of both households.

he was as rich as a fish

1485 at the battle of Bosworth

I blame the public of France. She was executed on the guillotine by Sanson the executioner, not however the Sanson who had executed her husband Louis XVI but his son who had assumed the office from his father who attended and acted as an assistant.

2 out of 6. He divorced Katherine of Aragon, KILLED (had beheaded) Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour died in childbirth, divorced Anne of Cleves, KILLED (had beheaded) Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr outlived him by four years.

James I of England, who was also James VI of Scotland, reigned in England from 1603-1625.

When Elizabeth I died in 1603, without issue, a cousin, James VI of Scotland (son of Mary Queen of Scots) succeeded her. Elizabeth and James were both descended from the first Tudor king, Henry VII. When James came to the English throne he became James I and reigned from 1603 to 1625. He was succeeded by his son Charles I.

Edward the Confessor became King on the 8th June 1042. His reign ended when he died on the 5th January 1066.

King George III was ruler of England during the time the Colonies were trying to establish their independence. Because of this he ruled the Colonies as they were a territory owned by England. So, sending the Declaration to King George was the only true course of action available that would end in results.

Henry VIII, like monarchs before and after him, was personally responsible for most of the expenses we would nowadays expect to be paid by "the government". He had to maintain his palaces, the civil service, and the military out of his private pocket. There was no clear line between what were Henry's expenses and what were England's expenses. The dissolution of the monasteries made Henry very rich but a lot of this money was paid out to courtiers and other powerful people in the country to help with the political fallout of the Reformation. Even more was frittered away in the wars against France which characterized the last years of his reign. Henry was, of course, fond of pomp and finery to a much greater extent than his parsimonious father, but this was not where the bulk of his great wealth went.

Yes, George Washington was noted as a patriot. In fact, some said he was the father of his country, which is about as much of a patriot as one can be.

Lady Jane Grey, Anne Boleyn & Catherine Howard spring to mind.....

Charles I was the last to actually command troops in battle during the Civil War. James II raised and commanded an army to oppose the invasion of William of Orange but so many of his men deserted to William that he could not offer battle. Michael Montagne

George II commanded his army at the Battle of Dettingen (Germany) in 1743.

Harold II (aka Godwinson) 1066 Battle of Hastings. Since 1066 England has had French (Norman), Scottish, Dutch and German monarchs!

No, Catherine Howard did not have any children. She was the fifth wife of Henry VIII and two years after the marriage she was beheaded. It was Catherine of Aragon who had a daughter, the future Mary I.

The first Tudor king was Henry VII after defeating Richard III at the battle of Bosworth.

Good? Noone in the Medieval era was "Good". His alignment was to his country, not of everyone in the world. He was a Good King, in battle terms. Partly because he conquered Acre and because he led many battles against Saladin.

Charles I closed down Parliament in 1629.

Parliament then spent 11 years in the wilderness.

Charles was forces to call them back in 1640 because he needed money for supplies to fight the Scots.

James I (of England) & VI of Scots was the only son of Mary Queen of Scots and her second husband Henry Lord Darnley. Both were tall, and very beautiful. Lord Darnley was blonde and blue eyed and Mary red haired and hazel eyed. James inherited his mother's colouring but little else. People wondered at the time how such a handsome couple could have produced such a little, bandy legged, child whose tongue was too big for his mouth. He was by ALL written accounts very unprepossessing.

He was a Christian, being because he was King of England, and the main religion was Christendom.
