Medieval The scholar Felling confirms that Edmund was murdered 'in his own hall' and it is perhaps the word 'hall' that is most appropriate to what is unlikely to be a Palace in the connotations of today. In the subsequent six years to 946, Edmund showed considerable warlike and political skill to begin to re-conquer Athelstan's former kingdom, but in the May of that year the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle tells us that he was murdered in Pucklechurch in defence of his steward by a Leoff, who he had earlier banished. This state depended on the strength of the ruler and when Edmund, Athelstan's brother, succeeded him in 939 he was a youth of 18 years old, and Athelstan's kingdom soon collapsed under invasions of Irish Vikings. www.southglos.gov.uk /Hosted/Puckleweb/page_2.htm   (426 words)

Charlemagne's Biography Around the king gathered a court of administrative nobles and clergymen- the seneschal or head of the palace, the “count palatine”or chief justice, the “palsgraves”or judges of the palace court, and a hundred scholars, servants, and clerks. When King Offa of Mercia sent Alcuin on a mission to Charlemagne, the latter begged the scholar to remain; Alcuin, glad to be out of England when the Danes were “laying it desolate, and dishonoring the monasteries with adultery,”consented to stay. In 810 the king of Jutland invaded Frisia and was repulsed; but shortly thereafter, if we may follow the chronicle of the Monk of St. Gall, Charlemagne, from his palace at Narbonne, was shocked to see Danish pirate vessels in the Gulf of Lyons. www.chronique.com /Library/MedHistory/charlemagne.htm   (4471 words)

Literary Encyclopedia: King James VI of Scotland, James I of England King James VI of Scotland, James I of England (1566-1625) James’s first poem, written at the age of fifteen, is not only an expression of the shrewd and secretive cast of mind instilled in the young King by the harshness, instability and dangers of his upbringing: it is a skilfully-composed lyric showing a well-developed ability to combine metrical discipline with lucid exposition of an argument. James’s claim to being a scholar and intellectual is no less genuine for being frequently caricatured; and it should be remembered that his learning and wisdom were internationally renowned in his own time, even though the personal foibles which impaired the operation of his remarkable intellect provoked ironic comments as well. www.literaryencyclopedia.com /php/speople.php?rec=true&UID=5482   (455 words)

Comparative Criminology Asia - Nepal King Mahendra was succeeded by his 27 year-old son, King Birendra, in 1972. At the zenith of this class was the monarch, whose authority was derived from the orthodox Hindu contention that the king was the reincarnation of Vishnu, whose assigned role in the Hindu trinity is protection. Under the Ranas and the two monarchs of modern times, King Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev (reigned 1955-72) and Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev (reigned 1972-), military and national defense decisions were the sole prerogative of the palace, acting on the advice of a small coterie of retainers and senior military commanders. www-rohan.sdsu.edu /faculty/rwinslow/asia_pacific/nepal.html   (455 words)

Adam Hochschild. The Treaties Must Grant Us Everything. Meanwhile, Leopold had hired an oxford scholar, Sir Travers Twiss, to provide a learned legal opinion backing the right of private companies to act as if they were sovereign countries when making treaties with native chiefs. Among the Bolia people of the Congo, for example, a king was chosen by a council of elders; by ancestors, who appeared to him in a dream; and finally by wild animals, who signaled their assent by roaring during a night when the royal candidate was left at a particular spot in the rain forest. Stanley, under pressure, drove his men subordinates who were drinking too much or who had let weeds grow around their river stations. www.cooper.edu /humanities/core/hss3/hochschild_a.html   (5273 words)
