How many battles did edward iv win?

Asked by Wiki User

As King, Edward VII oversaw only one war, the Second Boer War (1899-1902), but only for one year, as he did not become king until 1901. The war was a victory for the British and Edward was influential in reforming the British Army after the war, in order to correct the problems that had caused so many of its setbacks early in the war.

How many complaints did martin Luther make against the catholic church?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Martin Luther was against the pope's idea of selling indulgences. He was not against the catholic faith. There are no mistakes in the catholic church.

Further information

Indeed, Martin Luther was not looking for mistakes: he had been brought up and trained in the Catholic church, and sought earnestly for the Truth as taught by Christ. No one denomination is infallible, for the simple reason that the people who organise and lead the various denominations are not infallible, and Luther died still regarding himself as a Catholic. He did not leave the church because of any perceived "mistakes", but he was excommunicated for his later actions.

One of Luther's biggest struggles was with the Church's demands of the time that one could only earn favour with God through good works. Through his in-depth study of the Scriptures, he reached the conclusion that salvation is a gift of God's grace, received by faith alone and by trust in Christ's death on the cross as the only means to that salvation. It was this and his objection to the sale of indulgences that led him to question the teachings of the Roman Catholic church: in particular, the nature of penance, the authority of the pope and the usefulness of indulgences.

Luther was not looking for mistakes.

How did nationalism help bring about world war 1?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The sense of belonging to and love for one's country was supposed to make leaders try as hard as possible to prevent their countries from engaging in conflicts with other countries. This would have prevented the extreme military spending and disruption of economic activity that later landed most of Europe into an economic slump.

How did shakespeare portray Richard III?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not really. Shakespeare described Richard as hunchbacked, with a "withered arm". If the skeleton discovered under a carpark really is that of Richard III, as the people who discovered it claim, neither of those is true. The skeleton showed no weakness in either arm, and although the spine was twisted, it would not give a hunchbacked appearance. Likewise, portraits of Richard do not show him as hunchbacked, and there is nothing to indicate any abnormality in his arms. (Indeed, as Richard was universally acknowledged as a great warrior, it is unlikely that either his sword-arm or shield-arm would be crippled). So, the grotesque Quasimodo-like figure Shakespeare presents to us is a fictional figure of Tudor propaganda.

Why do houses have basements?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because of the water line.the north is high above sea level than the south While in a minority of cases the reason is because of the relatively high water table, in most cases it is simply a matter of cost. In the north, building codes require the foundation to be far below the frost line (i.e., the depth at which the ground freezes in winter). This is typically at least 2 meters. At that depth, you might as well finish up with a basement (adding an addition meter of dig) , which also adds value to the home. In the south, without a frost line to worry about, the standard is typically less that 0.6 meter. Therefore, installing a basement would add to the cost for the builder, which most in the south consider to be unnecessary. Thus, basements are possible in most of the South, but for cost's sake, it's not done. In the Pacific Northwest, basements are not common either, but there the reason is the presence of hard bedrock, which would literally require blasting to excavate (and raise the cost significantly).

Why did Richard III kill his wife?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no proof whatsoever that Richard III did kill his wife Anne Neville. In fact, her death came as a great blow due to the fact that his one and only heir died. Richard desperately needed another heir to consolidate his position as King, and Anne dying meant that he had to put that on hold until he found another wife.

What were conflicts that resulted from the war of the roses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Wars of the Roses was a series of dynastic wars for the throne of England. They were fought between supporters of two rival branches of the royal House of Plantagenet, the houses of Lancaster and York. They were fought in several sporadic episodes between 1455 and 1487, although there was related fighting before and after this period. The conflict resulted from social and financial troubles that followed the Hundred Years' War, combined with the mental infirmity and weak rule of Henry VI, which revived interest in the alternative claim to the throne of Richard, Duke of York.

The final victory went to a Lancastrian claimant, Henry Tudor, who defeated the last Yorkist king, Richard III, at the Battle of Bosworth Field. After assuming the throne as Henry VII, Henry Tudor married Elizabeth of York, the daughter of Edward IV, thereby uniting the two houses. In an era leading to what is sometimes referred to as the "Golden Age" of Elizabeth

Are there any descendants of Henry Plantagenet alive today?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, there are...and I know that because I am a direct descendent of Henry and Eleanor of Aquitaine by king John and Henry III. Many of their descendents passed through noble families like the Hungerfords and Despencers on to, in my case, early colonial American settlers in the Partridge, Tracy, and Gove family lines for example. Many of their descendents seem to have established themselves in Texas and other parts of the American south, for some reason.
