The failure of foreign policy in the years 1514-1525 can be attributed to many things. The combination of Henry's isolation from European affairs and the fact that his attempts to raise tax were ultimately unpopular failures, meant that he had no way to impose himself upon Europe. Even when he did manage to scrape together the finances needed for a strong foreign policy his reliance on his allies led to disaster. As soon as Henry took the throne in 1509, it was obvious that he was a king that wanted to fight a war. However, wars generally led to very expensive costs to the country.
The Main Reason For The Defeat Of The Royalist Cause In The First Civil War Was The Leadership Of Charles l – Assess The Validity Of This View With Reference To The Years 1642-1646. In the period up to the outbreak of civil war in England, there were several reasons as to why the Royalist Cause and Charles were defeated. Many of his subjects came to question whether he was a monarch who could be trusted to rule within the ambiguous bounds of the unwritten ancient constitution. Firstly, Charles alone contributed heavily to the defeat of the Royalist cause. He was hampered by a speech defect which made communication difficult and communication with Parliament suffered as a direct result.
Margaret continued to reopen hostilities and receiving aid from Louis XI. Although this had made Margaret unpopular in England as she promised Calais in return for her support. Furthermore, Margaret of Anjou had won the second battle of St. Albans . Henry Vi had also proved to be troublesome for Edward IV when dealing with his nobility. During Edward IV's second reign Henry Vi had been killed in battle.
Why did BPC invasion of England fail? On the 5th July 1745 Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Sylvester Severino Maria Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charles) set afoot in the British Isles; ot conquer England and take back his rightfully deserved throne.But his conquest failed, there were three aspects to his failure:Strategy, Leadership and (Quality of) Support. Strategy is long-term planning or short-term tactics. This invasion's chance of success was severly hampered, by the indecicive army the prince however was not the main culprit, rather the disagreement between him and his commanders e.g; The incident when they had captured Derby and could not decide whether to procced or to retreat.Bonnie Prince Charlie let down the invasion by not properly organizing support from;The French(precisely), the Clan Chiefs or the English and Welsh Jacobites. Another example is when Charles delayed 6 weeks at Edinburgh to allow George II to regain hardened troops from Holland, if this hadn't happened then Charles would have been able to strike much more fear in the Londoners.
Source 4 and source 6 both illustrate the problems leaders like Maximillian and Ferdinand posed to Henry. In source 4, the two are described to have been ‘bribed’ by the French leader in order for them to ‘disown treaty obligations to England’ during Henry’s attempt to invade France in 1514. Source 6 also states that England were still at the ‘mercy’ of monumental ‘shifts’ in European politics, even though they had just been at the heart of European diplomacy as a result of the Treaty of London. The message that these sources convey demonstrates how England were restricted, and inevitably rendered unsuccessful, by the lack of cooperation offered across Europe. Further evidence for this can be found in Ferdinand’s manipulation of Henry in the 1513 campaign against
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.
[1] The loss of the territory of Jerusalem in the summer of 1244 had unravelled the unexpected success of the Sixth Crusade and as a result King Louis IX of France, as a devout Christian, wished to travel to the East to reclaim the lost Christian lands. It was the combination of a grave illness, the desire to follow the Capetian tradition and the events that had taken place in the East which compelled Louis IX to take the cross in December 1244. The Seventh Crusade, however, did not reach Jerusalem as Louis IX was forced to return to France due to the troubles in his own kingdom. [2] In spite of such failures, the fall of Antioch in 1268 inspired the courageous king to return to the East. While figures such as Louis IX and Jean de Joinville were motivated by the actions of their predecessors, further Christians felt compelled to join the crusading movement as they believed in the idea of the crusade as a ‘penance rewarded by the indulgence.’[3] The political climate of Western Europe in 1245 did not, however, favour the implementation of a new crusade.
Here I state one of the reasons why he left the Roman Catholic Church: • In the bible it stated that if you were to marry your brother’s wife you would be cursed with no children. However Henry VIII needed a son to take over the thrown when Henry had died – This would not happened though if the curse was put upon them. An economic factor was a large proportion of what made Henry VIII leave the Roman Catholic Church. Economic: anything to do with the money and wealth. Henry mainly left the Church because of his money situation: • Whilst Henry VIII was in a violent war with France, he had run out of money.
A breakdown in parliament then occurred because Charles realized the parliamentary attack on Buckingham was increasing so in 1625 dissolved his first Parliament in order to protect his close companion. The close relationship of Charles and The Duke of Buckingham enabled Buckingham to have security and potential access to more than Charles realised. The Cadiz Expedition is a prime example of Buckingham failures. Both Charles and Buckingham decided to attack one of Spain’s main ports to destroy as many of the Spanish fleet as possible. (Troops were raised but mostly untrained).
The position of the church in the middle Ages is reflected by the fact that it was almost alone responsible for education until the late middle Ages. All higher education was given within the church until the strong development of the university as an institution since the 12th century. Thereafter, primary education was given almost exclusively by the church. All the remarkable offices in society were held by men raised and educated by the church, men who had adopted a Christian outlook on life. Also the care of the poor and the sick relied on the church and charity.
