The high medieval period in Europe was dominated by a succession of royal governors, an elite class who controlled the political landscape. Their rule was facilitated by a number of factors; first, by the force of their armies they maintained control of their respective territories, quelling any challenge or rebellion. Second, they performed the function of delivering justice and were thus a valuable source of law and order for their populace. Third, the support of the church, which influenced much of the population, inspired the belief that kings were a representative of god and had a god given right to rule. Fourth, their use of the feudal system, as well as the administration which accompanied it enabled them to keep their kingdoms and subjects in check.
How Successful were Wolsey’s Domestic Policies?? In this essay I’m going to be writing about Thomas Wolsey and how successful he was in dealing with all the domestic policies and if they were success or failures.

In Western Europe women had more freedom; women were allowed to hold more high ranking positions. They were also able to coerce men into political aqcuistions (some women were heavily involved in politics even though they couldn’t hold office). Anne Boeyln, King Henry VIII second wife was one of the few who actually cared about politics;she was eventually beheaded but her legacy lives on because she was able to make Henry divorce Catherine of Aragon. Western European women were more civilized and were able to voice their thoughts, even though they weren’t able to hold office they were extremely valued in advice on political matters but not matters of war.
How significant was Wolsey in the running of the government in 1514-1529? Wolsey was a great servant to Henry VIII in government from 1514-1529, becoming one of the highest powers in the country. As he was given the title of Lord Chancellor, it meant his power was at probably its greatest point. Henry was said to be a very lazy monarch, and therefore Wolsey would have a significant amount of duties to run the monarchy. Wolsey changed areas of government such as the justice system and revised areas such as finances and parliament structure.
In the US the executive branch is associated with the President, the Vice President, Executive Departments, and Agencies. In both the UK and the US the executive is by far the most popular branch of the government, being constantly in the media’s spotlight. However it seems to be an overstatement to suggest that in the UK the executive dominates everything, it could be argued that it dominates most political areas and that it has sufficiently more power than the US executive. There are multiple reasons for why this is the case. The constitutional status of the executives is a crucial factor.
Eleanor was very old fashion and because of that when her husband interest in politics got serious she also brushed up on the topic so she would know and understand what was happening. This helped her understand both worlds; the world of the commoner, and the world of the politics. If Eleanor Roosevelt made one impression with her style and background she made another with her commitment to produce a universal accepted living standard. Through this she was recognized as a tireless worker. In fact many of her co-workers found this aspect of her personality less agreeable and one even went so far as to say his own rights were being violated from the lengths of the meetings.

“Her fishpond was the court and there she fished for the political loyalty of her major subjects.” She sought to obtain personal relationships with the members of her court. She used her charms as a woman to gain personal relations with the court, but always kept in mind her power as the sovereign. Elizabeth thought of herself as the desire of all the men in court. She kept close to the women of court as well. She would listen to the “gossip” of the court to fish out the truth that was not shown.
Pizan so obviously from the start of her writing, introduces how women should behave (from the perspective of a princess), so that her actions shall be beneficial to her and her husband. By talking about the finances, which is radical, Pizan degrades women in all other aspects. Degrading is used in the sense that she does not promote equality in any other way other than the financial aspect. These women could be considered early feminists if they looked for equality in other things as well not just a specific
In the case of the Tainos, if the Cacique did not have an heir, the eldest son of his eldest sister would rule, where no male was available for the position, female ruler ship obtained. However, female ruler ship was unfounded with the Mayans. The set ascension to throne means therefore that it was a smooth and automatic process.
