1. What does the lion represent? Why would the rulers of England include so many of them on the Coat of Arms? The lion represents royalty, majesty, power, strength, bravery, courage, ferocity, and valor. The rulers wanted to show everyone how they are all these things and are a force to be reckoned with.
6. The Coat of Arms includes two phrases, “Blessed are the peacemakers” and “Shame to him who evil thinks.” Choose one of these phrases and explain why a ruler might want it included in a coat of arms.

The aim of the marriages of Henry’s children into the royal houses of foreign powers was to establish the Tudor dynasty as rightful rulers of England. Acknowledgement of kingship was vital to Henry VII, who was a usurper of the English crown, and by marrying his family to foreign monarchs he could gain international recognition of his status. A suitable marriage would result in a foreign power having a vested interest in the Tudor dynasty so as to maintain peace between themselves and the new English rulers. The marriage of Prince Arthur and Catherine of Aragon was a prime example of this. Spain, which was united in 1469 by the marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile, had become a major power in Europe.
Home Rule for Ireland meant that an Independent Irish Parliament would stand in Dublin to govern Irish affairs, still having an Irish representation in Westminster, whilst Westminster would govern all issues to do with the crown, defence and imperial government. The Government of Ireland Bill, the official name of the Third Home Rule Bill, was given its first reading in the House of Commons on 11th April 1912. There was much support for the Home Rule Bill within the Liberal party. Asquith, the leader of the Liberals, justified the bill to Parliament as the democratic wish of the overwhelming majority of the Irish people. However, he emphasised that ‘the supreme power and authority of the imperial parliament is to remain unimpaired and unchallenged.’ He made clear strict provisions that were to be imposed on the new Irish government and its continued connection to the British Parliament and Crown.
I chose St. Paul’s Cathedral located in London, England as my topic because it is a famous Catholic church. I am a Christian and Catholicism is a branch of Christianity which is why I chose to pick a piece that had religious significance to me. St. Paul’s Cathedral is considered to be a great contribution to European Catholics and even Catholics from around the world. St. Paul’s Cathedral by Christopher Wren is a Western Humanities architectural masterpiece. People may argue that there may be other buildings in London that can be considered Western Humanities masterpieces, however St. Paul’s Cathedral is the most beautiful and significant.

Sir Gawain’s actions reflect the social mores of 14th century England, where a good knight was expected to follow the code of chivalry, no matter the cost. Sir Gawain’s character traits are bolstered, awarded and amplified by his status as a member of King Arthur’s court. The Gawain poet writes: “In peerless pleasures passed they their days, The most noble knights known under Christ, and the loveliest ladies that lived on earth ever, And he the comeliest king, that the court holds, For all this fair folk in their first age were still” (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight lines 50-55). The comparison to Christ is significant in that, although it acknowledges the inferiority of Arthur’s knights to God, the poet clearly dares to make the comparison, relating Christ, who is perfect, to the knights, who are human beings and capable of committing sin. Thus, one can infer that the knights perceive themselves as earthly manifestations of God himself.
Causes of the American Revolution The American Revolution began in 1775 between the united thirteen colonies and Britain. By the treaty of Paris, the Americans had won their independence in 1783. The main causes of the Revolution included disagreement over the way Great Britain treated the colonies and how the colonies felt over the way they should be treated. Americans felt they should have equal rights. However, England thought the American colonies would be best suited to their crown and parliament, because ruling the North American continent was a privilege only strong countries could have.
