This was a huge problem for Henry, as he needed the Pope to grant his annulment, but him being away, and Charles in charge, meant that it was impossible for him to gain anything. With Charles being the nephew of Catherine, it clearly showed that Henry faced a difficult time of getting an annulment. In Source K, it further supports this arguments, as it states in the source, ‘I have quite made up my mind to become an imperialist and live and die as such’. This quote, evidently shows that Henry would have a hard time convincing the Pope to grant him an
In 1646, Charles’ hopes of winning the civil war were beyond bleak following the crushing defeating at the battle of Naseby. Curiously however, the majority of the population wanted the reinstatement of Charles. Rule by Parliament’s ruthless County Committees were arguably worse than that endured during Charles’ Personal Rule. After four years of ‘a war without an enemy’ people sought the peace and stability associated with the monarch figurehead: Charles. Additionally, suspicions had risen of radical parliamentarians and the people were reliant on Charles’ return to stop this.
Around 6 CE, a two-year-old boy inherited the Han Empire. The young child wasn’t able to govern, so Wang Mang decided to serve instead of the boy. Then around 9 CE, Wang Mang announced that the Mandate of Heaven passed from the Han Empire, to his family. That caused the former Han dynasty to fall, but after about two years, the Han recovered. Although the former Han was able to recover, the later Han Empire was not able to recover.
But somewhere along the line, Uncle Joe got out of step. Rather, as Uncle Joe saw it, the U.S. got out of step. People began to express strong disagreement with the speaker, eventually leading to revolt against the speaker’s power and authority in 1910. When the “revolt” attacks began, they were based more upon the powerful control that the role of the Speaker obtained than they were based at Cannon himself. Still, this resulted in the end of Cannon’s long term position as the Speaker of the House.
To avoid internal conflicts after his death Franco appointed Juan Carlos as his successor. To get ready for his upcoming role as king of Spain, Juan Carlos made international visits to countries around the world. Franco died on November 30, 1975.

William Marshall Greatest Achievement In 1216 Prince Louis of France entered London and was proclaimed King of England, many English barons who were against the ruling of King John sided with prince Louis of France. But when John died in October 1216, his nine year-old son, Henry III was ruled king. Due to King John’s death many barons were willing to change sides and fight for young Henry III against Prince Louis of France.

Marshal then call for all nobles with a Castle in England to a gathering in Newark.
As he was the king, he had thought that he had the power to make the Scots use English prayer books. The scots were so furious that they decided to fight Charles I instead. This also made him unpopular to the scots as well as the people of England. When the scots had defeated him Charles had to pay lots of tax money which he couldn’t afford. So, Charles had to recall parliament, as only tax voted by parliament got rid of the scots.
His own brother, Clarence, and Warwick had overthrown Edward IV. So in 1483, after the death of his brother, Richard III had believed the stories of the Woodville’s plotting against him, and so he decided to act accordingly, his ‘spur of insecurity’ drove Richard III to take a risk. So it could be said that his insecurities were a result of his early years, and the experiences he had been
Leading the way was perhaps two of the most powerful kings in the western world, King Louis VII of France and King Conrad III of Germany. The march east was mainly because Edessa had fallen but there were other factors as well. Pope Eugenius had recently acquired his office and immediately barred from the city by a communal government. He had not yet been able to enter Rome and could do little himself to help Edessa, but. the manner in which he dealt with the Muslim infidel was likely to be noted.
To what extent was Charles I responsible for the failure to reach a negotiated settlement 1646-1649? It can be argued that to a large extent that Charles’ behaviour was responsible for his execution in the beginning of 1649. Losing both civil wars, escaping from the New Model Army and secret letters to his wife claiming that he will delay negotiations for as long as possible suggests reasons why he was executed. However, Parliament and the New Model Army were also factors which were responsible for the failure to reach a negotiated settlement as Parliament were divided and because the New Model Army were highly influenced from the Levellers. The King being the most important figure in England assumed he had all authority within England as he firmly believed in the ‘Divine Rights of Kings’ which is the belief that God has given the King his authority and so the King lives through God’s ‘legacy’.
