Wars of the Roses

10

Richard III was coronated on6 July 1483.

The Lancashire rose is RED

Yorkshire - White,

Both still the same today.

The Tudor rose which followed thewar was a mixture of both.

1. Mary got her nick name bloody Mary for ordering the deaths of no more than 277 protestants.

2. Many dishes were for show rather than eating for example a 'cockerice' would be made by sewing the front half of a cockerel onto the back half of a baby pig before roasting.

3. Eating was an important part of life at court. One feast of Henry VIII went on for seven hours!

4. Tudor women, men and children in England drank beer, wine, sherry, mead and cider. Not because they were drunkards- because the water was so polluted it could not be drunk unless it was boiled!

5. A foul job was that Henry VIII employed somebody to wipe his own bottom called the group of the stool!

6. Between 1594 and 1598 the harvest failed 5 times!

7. Henry VIII executed 20,000 people. That's 3 a day he reigned.

8. Henry VIII 4th wife Anne of Cleeves was actually very ugly

9. Anne Boylen had 11 fingers

10. Henry VIII exploded when he died because he had that much gas in his stomach- he really did go out with a bang!

The Panic of 1873 was when the E.W. Clark & Company bank (one of the biggest private banks) went bankrupt. As a result, it caused a chain-reaction of other bank failures and even a ten-day closing of the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) starting September 20th.

Charles arrived in London to claim the throne on his 30th birthday, May 29, 1660.

the spanish armada

---- He was born January 28, 1457 at Pembroke Castle. He died April 21, 1509 at Richmond Palace. He reigned from August 22, 1485 until his death. He was the only son of Edmund Tudor and Lady Margaret Beaufort, who was the great-granddaughter of John of Gaunt, third son of Edward III. His predecessor was Richard III who was killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field August 22, 1485,bringing the Wars of the Rose nearer their conclusion, which it can be said, took place when Henry VII married Elizabeth of York at Westminster January 18, 1486. She was born February 11,1466 at Westminster Palace. She died February 11, 1503 at Richmond Palace, following a difficult childbirth. She was the daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, whose first husband, Sir John Grey of Groby, was killed in the second battle of St.Albans 1461, fighting for the Lancastrian cause. With the marriage of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, the White Rose of the House of York and the Red Rose of the House of Lancaster were merged to become the Tudor Rose, symbolising the hopes of the first Tudor monarch for peace between the rival dynasties. ----

caus ehtey wanted it like that

Because he needed more time to think about his plan!

In Shakespeare's play Richard III, Richard kills Edward son of Henry VI, Henry VI himself, Clarence, Rivers, Grey, Vaughan, Hastings, his nephew Edward V, his nephew Richard, his wife, and the Duke of Buckingham, the ghosts of whom all rise to plague him on the night before Bosworth Field. In reality, Clarence was executed for very real treason against his brother Edward, Rivers and Grey were executed for treasonably attempting to abduct the princes Edward and Richard, and Hastings was implicated in the same crime. Buckingham led a revolt against Richard and so naturally was executed for treason. The only deaths for which Richard can reasonably be held to account are those of his nephews Edward and Richard who entered the Tower prior to Richard's proclaimation as king and were never seen again.

Also, Henry Tudor kills Richard at the Battle of Bosworth Field.

I saw on a biography that his mother was unable to have more children after him, also his father died before he was born.

They both appeared in Austin Powers in Goldmember(2002).

- Richard is physically deformed, most known for being 'hunch-backed'

- Richard is charged with killing his brother George, Duke of Clarence ( He was executed on Edward IV's orders)

- Richard is charged with murdering his wife

- Also charged with the murder of the Princes int he Tower (We do not know if they were even murdered)

(There are many more but I cannot think of them all right now :) )

Richard III was not evil. He had strong, legitimate claim to the throne and took it. Points to make:

1. If this relates to the play by Shakespeare: the playwright to poetic lisence and not everything he wrote is true

2. If this has to do with the Princes in the Tower, there is no evidence he had anything to do with their disappearance.

The Yorkish King Richard wasn't very popular so people looked for distant relatives with a claim to the throne(Richard had murdered all the best candidates). A relatively unknown Welshman called Henry Tudor had a decent claim. He fought from Lancaster and defeated King Richard (Not the Lion-heart one) to become King Henry VII.

• Facts on nonsuch when Henry ruled it

The people who supported the Royal Houses of York & Lancaster. It ends with the battle of Bosworth in 1485. The Stanleys held the key to the battlre & sided with the Lancasters: Henry Tudor, Henry VII became King.

King Henry the VII wife was Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville. She was thus the mother of Henry VIII.

King Henry VII of England was the son of Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Richmond, and his wife, Lady Margaret Beaufort.

act one scene one, Richard sets a prophecy on his brother clarence (1.1.33)

When she first came into power, the country was a mess. There was a possibility of a civil war due to religious differences throughout the country. Elizabeth said that it did not matter what religion people chose to be as long as it did not interfere with her ruling of the country. This put an end to the almost civil war. The Protestants needed protection because they were being threatened and Queen Elizabeth I needed to repair the country, not further damage it, so she fixed the problem by protecting all religions

At first the Lancastrian king Henry VI did, then Edward IV (Yorkist). After Edward was his brother Richard III. You may want to count Edward's son Edward V, but his uncle Richard took the throne from him, and young Edward V died in the tower. After Richard III was Henry Tudor, who won the battle of Bosworth Field and ended the Wars of the Roses, becoming Henry VII.

Well I listened this morning, and it started about 7:35am ish.
