These two terms show that the Political Testament of Richelieu could have not been written before 1520’s for two reasons he was not born until 1585 and the mention of the Huguenots and Jesuits. These words were not around until 1520 and 1562. Another word that shows up early on in the book that would help date the time the testament was wrote is the word Majesty. Majesty tells us that Richelieu wrote this testament during Louis XIII reign as king. Louis XIII reign of king was 1610 to 1643.
(p. 1 European Exploration) In October 1492, Columbus landed on the island of Hispaniola (present-day Haiti and Dominican Republic). Columbus believed that he was in the outer islands of the Far East, and he made three more voyages in search of a path to Asia. During the last three voyages, Columbus reached the major islands of the Caribbean, which he named the West Indies.

(p. 2 European Exploration) Although Spain's new claims created the Spanish Empire, the extent of its lands was still unknown.
Alex Roby ARTH 4307 2/27/12 Codex Ixtlilxochitl Part One The post Aztec Codex Ixtlilxochitl was created after the Spanish invaded in 1519, which makes it a post – conquest manuscript. Most believe that a Nahuatl person painted it during the years 1568-1650 (Glass and Robertson 1975a: 171; Lesbre 1988: 97).

In “Making Young Hamlet”, Harkins opens us a new door to analyze “Hamlet” from a different perspective. In the first part of the article, Harkins brings forward the significance of Hamlet’s age and what it means to call Hamlet young by discussing the depiction of characters Fortinbras and Laertes, Claudius as well as Hamlet. Harkins conveys the idea that there are some underlying political facts for early modern construction of youth and age.
Shakespeare himself would have been most familiar with an earlier version of the Bible, possibly the Geneva Bible, the Bishop’s Bible, or the Great Bible, because the first edition of the King James Bible (Authorized Version) did not appear until 1611. I have divided the discussion of biblical imagery in Macbeth into acts and scenes for easy reference.

According to John 29.34, a Roman soldier pierced Christ's side as he hanged from the cross. Shakespeare's Sergeant tells King Duncan that the army he has just encountered is as violent and remorseless as the soldiers who put Christ to death.

Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night was also presumably written for performance on Twelfth Night. It was one of four plays the performance of which before Queen Elizabeth in the Christmas season of 1601-02 is recorded. Twelfth Night may be called a festive comedy primarily because of the occasion of its composition. In act2 sc.3, Sir Toby tells Olivia's steward, Malvolio, rather sarcastically, 'Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no cakes and ale?'
Othello Intro The tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice is a play written by William Shakespeare between 1601 and 1604, in England. It is set in the late sixteenth century, during the wars between Venice and Turkey. The play focuses mostly around Iago and Othello, and Iago’s evil plans to bring down Othello.
