In the Pocahontas movie, Pocahontas is engaged to Kocoum and chooses John Smith. In reality, Pocahontas actually never even fell in love with John Smith. Real history is different from the movie. Pocahontas was in fact the daughter of Chief Powhatan, leader of Tsenacommacah tribe. The British colonists arrived in the early 1600’s in three ships: the Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery.
While imprisoned, Pocahontas viewed this time as an opportunity to learn more about the culture she had very little knowledge of, but in a much larger scale. During her time in England, Pocahontas was baptized as a Christian and was given the “common” English name Rebecca. She also fell in love with an Englishman by the name of John Rolfe, who also fell for her and asked for her hand in marriage. The couple chose to get married in Jamestown, and it restored peace not only between the colonists and Indians, but the English as well for many years to
While Edward was in power, Queen Elizabeth I was allowed to live quietly; after Edward’s death in 1553, Mary became queen. Mary was a Roman Catholic, but Queen Elizabeth I was not a religious person; however, she understood Mary’s decision to marry the Catholic Prince Phillip II of Spain (Ellis). Later, while Phillip saw his wife childless and ill, he saw Queen Elizabeth I as a very suitable woman to assume the position of queen (Ellis). Mary died on November 17, 1558, and Queen Elizabeth I finally became queen at the age of 25. Queen Elizabeth I had to undergo a tremendous amount of pain, grief, and suffering to acquire the throne, but once she received it, she was the greatest ruler that England had.
Though the possibilities for the reasons are almost endless, it depends on the situation and the people that shun others.

Bob martin 9/20/12 Cruelty in the Commonwealth In the Disney film Pocahontas it is said that the English were improving the lives of the “savages”. This movie gives the impression that the English settlers of the New World were coming to Christianize and educate the Native Americans. However, in Camilia Townsend’s, “Pocahontas and the Powhtan Dilemma,” it is clear that this is not true. In the preface Townsend states, “The English wanted to be lords of the manor, and they wanted the Indians to be something akin to serfs(p. xi).” Through Townsend’s interpretation of the life of Pocahontas it is clear that the English intent for colonial America was not based on good will, but remorseless cruelty. In 1607, a boat from England arrived in the New World.
As all of the noble ladies of her time, she was taught how to dance properly and taught eloquence on how to express herself when in attendance to nobles and other important figures. When Lucrezia was only ten years old, she had an arranged marriage with a Spaniard whom later Rodrigo Borgia ended. Two months after the annulment he promised Lucrezia to another man though the contract was annulled on the eighth of November 1492.

The Intimate Desires of Aphra Behn “The life she led would have been extraordinary in any age, but for a woman of the seventeenth century not born to fortune or position, it was nearly unheard of.” —Angeline Goreau Aphra Behn was an unconventional woman. Virginia Woolf says it best: “All women together should let flowers fall on the tomb of Aphra Behn…for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds.” Behn, unlike her father and many others, survived the perilous voyage to the West Indies. Upon return to England, Behn became and served as a spy for Charles II from which she incurred insurmountable debt, and was thrown into debtor’s prison. Afterwards, Aphra Behn worked in defense of women’s rights as a political activist, sexual pioneer, and writer. Producing seventeen plays and fourteen novels, several collections of poetry and translations, Behn is known as the first woman to earn her living as an author.

Smith didn't run around with rock stars. ("I guess I needed attention," Ms. O'Neal says, about setting a fire at Rod Stewart's house and stealing his girlfriend's shoe.) But "West of Then" is good enough to make her own experiences just as memorable. This book's phantom is Karen Morgan, Ms. Smith's photogenic mother, who began life as part of a privileged Hawaiian family with a lineage tracing back to the Mayflower and wound up homeless in a Honolulu park. The tensions within this family are piercingly evoked.

Marie Antoinette also attracted gossip for her inability (due to Louis's impotence) to become pregnant and produce an heir to the throne.
