Flashes of sporadic violence against the English continued, but by bandits and outlets rather than any semblance of an organised military force. Henry IV died in 1413, and was succeeded by the less Plantagenet, more astute Henry of Monmouth, Henry V. He began to offer the Welsh rebels pardons. Owain's son Marededd refused a pardon until 1421, leading some historians to suspect that this was the year in which he died. One theory is that he ended his life as a the family chaplain on his daughter Alys' estate she shared with her husband, Sir Henry Scudamore, the sheriff of
1626- Charles made the leaders of the opposition (e.g. Sir Edward Coke and Sir Thomas Wentworth) sheriffs, so that they couldn’t be elected MPs. He requested another subsidy, which was refused. The Commons prepared articles of impeachment against Buckingham and Charles reacted by dissolving Parliament. 1628- Charles released the loan prisoners before his third Parliament met.
However, he also wanted to stand for consul, the most senior magistracy in the republic. If he were to celebrate a triumph, he would have to remain a soldier and stay outside the city until the ceremony, but to stand for election he would need to lay down his command and enter Rome as a private citizen. He could not do both in the time available. He asked the senate for permission to stand in absentia, but Cato blocked the proposal. Faced with the choice between a triumph and the consulship, Caesar chose the
* Whilst Richard was being protectorate to Edward V’s minority, the Duke of Buckingham was challenging the legitimacy of Edward V by saying his father was already contracted to marry when he married Elizabeth Woodville. * In addition to this however; Richards supporters wished for rewards only a king could possibly grant. * June 26 1483:
In 1447 Vlad Dracul was assasinated along with his son Mircea. Mircea was apparently buried alive by the boyars and merchants of Tirgoviste. Hunyadi placed his own candidate, a member of the Danesti clan, on the throne of Wallachia. On receiving the news of Vlad Dracul's death the Turks released Dracula and supported him as their own candidate for the Wallachian throne. In 1448 Dracula managed to briefly seize the Wallachian throne with Turkish support.
The following year he was nominated to be the new Flamen Dialis, high priest of Jupiter, as Merula, the previous incumbent, had died in Marius's purges. Since the holder of that position not only had to be a patrician but also be married to a patrician, he broke off his engagement to Cossutia, a girl of wealthy equestrian family he had been betrothed to since boyhood, and married Cinna's daughter Cornelia.
Then, when Octavian’s father entered the senatorial ranks as a Quaestor in 70 B.C, it was the start of the then unknown Octavii family’s distinguished political reign. In 59 B.C, Octavian’s father came back home after a rather stunted political career to run for consulship, but he sadly died. So
His last aim was the succession. Henry would need a male heir so as to secure the throne for the Tudors. The first of Henry’s aims to be completed was to start the differentiation between himself and his father. In April 1509, just as he had become ruler, he had two of his father’s most powerful men arrested; Edmund Dudley and Richard Empson, and a year later the two were executed. Henry had done this so he could abolish the Council Learned in Law, meaning that he could cancel 175 bonds his father had put in place with his Nobles.
Why did the crown and parliament fall out in 1625? In March 1625 Charles father, the King dies leaving only Charles to succeed the throne of the Three Kingdoms. Charles falls out with parliament for three main reasons, finance, foreign policy and favorites, all had previously harassed James, and were now passed on to Charles. Although not yet coronate, only a few months later he assembles Parliament for the first time, meeting against the background of the outbreak of plague in London. His main objective for calling Parliament was to raise money to go to war with Spain, which he believed would indirectly help his sister Elizabeth and brother-in-law to regain the Palatinate.
