He ruled Egypt from 1334 and 1325 BC, and was believed to be the 12th ruler of Egypt’s 18th Dynasty (Dunn, 2011). There are actually three theories of how King Tut died. When forensic experts in Egypt examined his body after it was exsumed they found a crack in his skull and they also found that his left leg had been fractured. So the theories are that he was in an accident and fell to his death, he was hit in the head and murdered or he died of some type of illness. The theory that he was murdered is a pretty plausible one.

How did the Hundred-year war affect France & England over the years? The hundred-year war fought between France and England was a fight to the throne on France. It was fought between the years 1337-1453 during which there were many battles between the countries. It started in 1066 when William the conqueror ruled England; he untied England and Normandy France. Then when Henry the II took rule the land expanded and England ruled over more of France but when Edward the III came to the throne he lost control of most of the French land.
He rose in command at a very short period leading to his brother’s jealousy. Hongwu also conquered many dynasties before rising to become emperor. Both Taizong and Hongwu did not choose the successors they initially preferred. Taizong who had preferred his eldest son Li Chengqian had to resort to choosing his ninth son Li Zhi after Li Chengqian planned to kill his younger brother Li Tai after suspecting that his father was to choose him for succession (Rossabi). Hongwu had initially planned his successor to be Prince Biao, his eldest son.
Two of the most popular theories are he was murdered or he died of an injury. Murder One of the most popular theories of Tutankhamen’s death is he was murdered by someone close to him. In 1968, an x-ray showed there were bone fragments in the Pharaohs skull and thought he could have been bludgeoned to death (King, 2006). In 1997, Egyptologist Bob Brier released his theory that Tutankhamen was killed by Vizier AY. He believes AY killed the young boy so he would be able to take the throne.
Firstly, there are many arguments defending the fact that Edward VI had significant influence in government such as the previous power of child monarchs before him. Henry III, who was the same age as Edward when he came to the throne turned out to be an extremely powerful King, whose reign was defined by the ending of the Civil War and a well-ruled country and government. On the other hand, his adult reign was less of a positive experience, as it resulted in opposition to Henry because of his choice to have Frenchmen at his court. Edward V however was murdered at the age of 12, which was not promising for the child King’s to come. If we were to believe that the positive experiences of child monarchs were shared by each King there had been, it would be easy to say that Edward VI was a powerful King with significant influence in government.
The Mystery of "The Mummy's Curse" Joseph Shank Monique Baucham World Cultures 1 July 29, 2012 I will try and explain the “Mummy’s Curse,” which is a set of random unexplainable, unfortunate, and tragic events which happened to the people who were present at the opening of Tutankhamen’s tomb. I will start of by explaining first a theory that people believe to be “a curse of the pharaoh’s”. I will than try explaining a scientific theory as to why the deaths of the men that were there when the tomb of King Tut were so mysterious. When I am all done, I will try to explain as to why I believe this theory to be true. The first conclusion mainly has to do with urban myths about the curse.
While King Tutankhamen’s legacy brings great interest to many, his tomb brought many questions with it. The most important question the tomb brought was the death of the boy king. While many argue that King Tut was murdered, recent break trough in science has proven that King Tuthankhamen did not die by the hands of another human but rather in an accident. For many years researchers and scholars could not agree on whether the death of King Tut was murder or simply an accident. It was believed that the boy king may have been poisoned or murdered by some one very close to him.
Why William duke of Normandy won the battle of Hastings The battle of Hastings led to a drastic and irreversible change in medieval England. The result of the battle was that William duke of Normandy with the help of his Norman supporters seized control of England’s throne and changed the culture and the way the country was ruled forever. William’s opponent of the battle was Harold Godwinson, the largest land owner in the country and a man who had been king of England for less than a full year. This essay will examine the reasons why and how William won the throne. Other than Harold Godwinson, two other men were claiming the English throne; their names were William, Duke of Normandy and Harald Hardrada, a Viking from the north.
Because he died at such a young age, Tutankhamen’s unexpected death has been labeled a “mystery.” For the past 80 years, leading archeologists, scholars, and forensic investigators have put forward many theories to explain the cause of Tutankhamen’s death: they range from murder, a fatal injury, and illness. Murder was one of the first theories given to explain the death of the young king. In 1968, a group of investigators from University of Liverpool, led by Professor G. Harrison conducted x-rays of Tutankhamen’s mummy, which revealed a strange dark area in the back of the head, at the base of the skull (Williams, 2005, p. 3). When asked for an explanation, Harrison speculated that it might be some kind of hemorrhage or blood clot caused by an intentional blow to the back of the head which could have been the reason for Tutankhamen’s death. The findings of the study were sensationalized by the world press and are the bases of the murder theory.
