Some historians say that Charles is totally to blame for this war, while some say that parliament is totally to blame for it. I am going to tell you about it. There were many reasons for why the king was to blame one of the reasons for why the king was to blame was because of his money problems. Charles was not good with money and always had very little. He had closed down parliament and had to think of ways of getting money without asking the parliament's help.
This is further complimented in Source 6, ‘His capacity for detailed hard work together with his creativity promised more than it delivered...’ This meant that Wolsey’s domestic policies were disappointing as they didn’t deliver as they were promised, often leaving people irritated with him including the nobility and the laity. Eltham Ordinances also had a part to play in the rising anti-Wolsey feeling going through England. Eltham Ordinances happened during the wars of 1522-1525 as it continued to keep young nobles away from the Court and on their return Wolsey
John was not a typical medieval king; he was very interested in his people. He spent much of his free time travelling around England visiting his subjects, something that Richard had never even considered. But one of the main reasons John was portrayed as a bad king was that the barons were against him as he tried to control them, so they spread rumours about him and made him sound worse than he
Thomas Wentworth (the Earl of Strafford) and Archbishop of Canterbury William Laud were two of the most important and divisive figures of Charles I's personal rule. Both men introduced controversial measures that made them targets of much opposition, which would probably otherwise had been directed squarely at the king. Strafford in particular was something of a hate figure amongst parliamentarians, who would eventually condemn him to execution. In July 1633, Thomas Wentworth was made Lord Deputy of Ireland. He exercised his "thorough" policies there with a certain degree of brutality, using Ireland as something of a practice ground for social and military experimentation and turning the four religious groups (Irish Catholics, Catholic Old English, Protestant New English, Presbyterian Scots) in the country against each other.
As king of Spain Charles has received most criticism from historians for the financial management of his Spanish inheritance. To what extent is this criticism deserved? Finance was Charles greatest problem as the ruler of not just Spain but also the German states, much of Italy and Flanders, including its lucrative cloth market. In theory each state would provide enough money to serve its own interests and each country would not be excessively financing another. Charles, however, used money from any region that was willing to give it to him to finance any of his many wars.
Priestly presents Mr Birling and the Inspector in two different lights. Mr Birling right from the very start showed no empathy towards Eva smith and doesn't start to either throughout the play. He is more interested in his knighthood and doesn't want to admit he has done wrong. “I can’t accept any responsibility. If we were all responsible for everything that happened to everybody we’d had anything to do with, it would be very awkward” this further emphasises Birlings ignorance and cowardice attitude towards responsibility within society.
Despite his keen intelligence, he allowed himself to come under the influence of unscrupulous men who, as much as any actions of his own, ensured that Tiberius's posthumous reputation would be unfavourable; despite his vast military experience, he oversaw the conquest of no new region for the empire; and despite his administrative abilities he showed such reluctance in running the state as to retire entirely from Rome and live out his last years in isolation on the island of Capri. His reign represents, as it were, the adolescence of the Principate as an institution. Like any adolescence, it proved a difficult time.
Ferdinand Magellan was faced with a challenge. The state unjustly oppressed him from his voyage only because the King did not like him. Through hard work and determination Magellan was able to go through with his voyage. This is a true example of the Individual vs. The
While he no doubt has an impressive resume, his deeds were not as hard-earned as some may believe. Alexander the Great, many would say otherwise, and would agree that his title is not so appropriate. Alexander the III of Macedon was a young king with an inherited empire, he never had to earn what he had given to him by his father, Phillip the II. A man that never had to work for what gave him his victory sounds like no victory at all. This is just one of the reasons Alexander does not deserve as much gratitude as he is delivered.
This is no more evident than in 1801 when they have a disagreement and the King dismisses Pitt. Although the support from the King is arguably the most important factor to Pitt’s success there were many other reasons as well. One of these factors is the Patronage System. The Patronage System was about jobs. Patronage was the Kings ability to appoint public officials and to dispense other government favours.
