List of monarchs of England

	British monarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monarchs are not allowed to unilaterally abdicate; the only monarch to voluntarily abdicate, Edward VIII (1936), did so with the authorisation of a special Act of Parliament.
		It is the prerogative of the monarch to summon, prorogue, and dissolve Parliament.
		The monarch is only an ordinary member, and not the head or leader, of the established Church of Scotland; however, he or she does hold the power to appoint the Lord High Commissioner to the Church's General Assembly.

	List of French monarchs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most medieval historians would argue that the existence of France proper did not begin until the advent of the Capetian Dynasty in 987, or, at the very earliest, with the establishment of the Kingdom of Western Francia at the Treaty of Verdun in 843.
		By 1453, however, the English had been expelled from all of France save Calais (and the Channel Islands), and Calais itself fell in 1558.
		Nevertheless, English monarchs continued to claim the title until the creation of the United Kingdom in 1801.

		The English National Debt was a commodity that some English citizens "owned" and the entire English populations "owed." Parliament first specified the obligations owed to individuals who lent their funds to the nation in a bill passed in 1693.
		It gave English politicians an opportunity to use a vast pool of interest-bearing capital to vanquish France, to open new markets, to protect native industries, and, by these means, to resolve, at least partially, the problems of English surpluses of a variety of commodities.
		English historians have dissected these investors and found a multiplici- ty of social layers ranging from aristocrats to the gentry in the countryside and merchant princes to artisans in the cities.

	ENGLISH MONARCHS
		But the English were never able to hold on to their gains, particularly after the arrival of the Black Death (bubonic plague), which killed at least a third of the population.
		But the murder of the two princes in 1483 and Richard’s seizure of the crown for himself, ensured that his was one of the shortest reigns in English history.
		He supported the reformers in the Great Reform crisis of 1832 and was thus the only monarch to keep his throne at a time when revolution was sweeping dynasties away all across Europe.

		English forces, weary and ill from the long march, were outnumbered by the French forces and appeared to be doomed.
		The calvary charge was blunted by concentrated English longbow firing, the muddy field, and wooden stakes the English archers had driven into the ground.
		The English longbowmen certainly played a major role but the primary reason the French were defeated was their lack of a unified command.

		This section of our history also covers the long reign of that endearing, if stubborn, English Monarch, Queen Victoria which saw England rise as a world power and on a more personal level, her long and enduring love of Albert, the Prince Consort.

		What it meant was that the monarch left the feudal lords with a great deal of local power, but these lords did have to recognize and pay homage to the monarch as the top authority on the feudal ladder.
		In essence, the English king was the "top lord" and the great nobles, known as barons, pledged themselves in service as his loyal vassals.
		Unlike early English monarchs who built on the traditions and relations of feudalism, the French state builders attempted to impose royal authority to replace existing legal and political traditions - to replace feudal law with state law.

	Question B1
		While the English monarchs had historically had frequent financial problems, they have also presented an array of problem-solving techniques to save grace in the eyes of the kingdom and to save the English realm itself.
		Their successor and sister, Elizabeth I spent the first part of her reign practicing leniency, yet once she found out that those she was lenient with were no longer harmless (the Revolt of the Northern Earls), she used her power to try to sanctify England as one church.
		Thus, the financial problems of the English monarchy have usually been attempted to be solved, yet not always successfully, by attacking Parliament, the Church and numerous other forms of religion, the people of the realm, and also foreign countries...

		In this volume, we are presented with an in-depth and generally balanced portrait of the monarch who is best remembered for his success at the Battle of Agincourt (1415).
		Like most of its predecessors in the "English Monarchs" series, this work is written in a style designed to appeal not only to scholars but to general readers.
		While Henry was indeed a soldier of exceptional skills, his historical reputation as a king deserves to be set against a broader background of achievement, for he was a leader and a diplomat, an administrator, a keeper of the peace and protector of the Church, a man who worked with and for his people.

		Tallis was the most influential English composer of his generation, as well as one of the most popular Renaissance composers of today.
		Tallis presided over the most dynamic period in English musical history, during which the continental style of structural imitation was largely adopted by English composers in the wake of the Reformation and supression of the monasteries.
		His sacred Latin choral music is his most highly regarded achievement; this large output is mostly in the motet genre with a wide range of personally selected texts, set syllabically in the style of the continental Renaissance masters of Italy and the North.

		Interestingly, these are also the categories governing the English justification for war with France, a great epic moment in history:
		How we read the character of Henry V is related to how we interpret Shakespeare's take on English history and kingship.
		But the most troubling part is after the great victory, we are reminded in the Epilogue that all was eventually for nought - Henry V died young and both the loss of France and civil war in England, the War of the Roses, which "made his England bleed" began under his son Henry VI.
