Magna Carta Richard sold the three northern counties of England to the King of Scotland for 10,000 crowns and took off to the Crusades, a good investment at the time, as the Knights Templar later proved. It was most likely the fruition of a long term plan by the King of France (part of The Auld Alliance?) to invade England, using the conspiracy of the northern Barons, FitzWalter and his cliche in particular, and their apparently noble principles, as a distraction, a justification, and another popular crusade. Henry II of England demanded homage from Malcolm IV, son of David, at Chester in 1157, confirmed the three counties to be English. www.genealogyweb.com /magna.htm   (5284 words)

Philippe de Commynes Memoirs Because there was a truce large numbers of English came to the town and behaved themselves very unwisely, showing little respect for their king since they entered it all armed, in great companies, and if our King had wanted to break his oath never would it have been easier to rout so large a company. He recalled the words which the English herald had spoken to him, that he should not fail to send for a safe-conduct for his ambassadors to go to the king of England as soon as he had crossed the sea and the he should approach the Lords Howard and Stanley. When the English, except the hostages who were with the King, had re-corssed the sea, the King set off in the direction of Laon to Vervins, a small town on the borders of Hainault. www.r3.org /bookcase/de_commynes/decom_6.html   (5284 words)

English Bill of Rights, 1689 In 1688-89 the English people drove King James II from the throne in the "Glorious Revolution." This peaceable (and apparently bloodless) Revolution brought an end to the old theory of the divine right of kings and clearly established the supremacy of Parliament. English people emerged victorious against the King, and, in January 1649 after trial, King Charles I was executed for high treason. Unlike what occurred at the end of the English Civil war (1669), however, royal lineage was continued with position. www.montauk.com /history/1689_bill_intro.htm   (462 words)

The English Civil War Society of America Home Page During the first Civil War there was a great deal of fighting in the Midland counties between the 'Roundhead' supporters of Parliament and the 'Cavalier' supporters of King Charles I. Newark was a town of strategic importance in the war, itself being besieged three times. Throughout 1645 the King's cause worsened, and after his defeat at Naseby many of the Royalist survivors fled to Newark, one of the strongest and best fortified garrisons nearby, and helped to further strengthen it's defenses for the inevitable siege that was to come. Forces from Newark managed to recapture Welbeck and Bolsover during the summer, but with the Northern Horse's defeat at Rowton Heath on September 24th, the last formal battle of the first Civil War, this effectively ended hopes for the King's cause. www.ecwsa.org /histkingslaststand.html   (861 words)

King Alfred's Literacy Program Alfred believed that the affliction of the Vikings was the consequence of the general decay of English learning, church life, and morality, not the cause of it; hence, the Vikings were a punishment. Alfred also knew that a supply of texts in English could add t o a base of marginal literacy among laymen, as English had increasingly become the language of secular administrative documents through the ninth century, especially in wills and charters. Since Alfred's own education needed supplementing before he could share the power of knowledge with his people he began assembling around him a group of men who would assist in both his own education and in the task of producing texts in English. www.chass.utoronto.ca /~cpercy/courses/1001Guthrie.htm   (1168 words)

Articles - Genitive case This can be shown by the following example: "The king of Sparta's wife was called Helen." If the English -'s were a genitive case mark, then the wife would belong to Sparta; but the -'s attaches not to the word Sparta, but to the entire phrase the king of Sparta. The 18th century explanation that the apostrophe might replace a genitive pronoun, as in "the king's horse" being a shortened form of "the king, his horse", is erroneous (a construction which actually occurs in German dialects and has replaced the genitive there, together with the "of" construction that also exists in English). Linguists generally believe that English possessive is no longer a case at all, but has become a clitic, an independent particle which, however, is always pronounced as part of the preceding word. www.lastring.com /articles/Genitive?mySession=89e744f22e316a0652cdd2bfd3f70056   (1168 words)

Criticism: Ehud's Dagger: Class Struggle in the English Revolution - Book Review It is as much a polemical attack on strands in contemporary scholarship as an account of radical action in the English Revolution, for Holstun demands readers think beyond the familiar oppositions: Roundheads vs. Royalsts; Puritans vs. Bishops; Parliament vs. King. Second, that the English Revolution may be understood as a class struggle, a "struggle among various groups that were endeavoring to maintain or transform the relations of production" (88). First, that the English Revolution was both cause and consequence of the transition from feudalism to capitalism. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m2220/is_2_44/ai_96377780   (901 words)

Royal Genealogy from Israel to England - House of David to English Monarchy All of the current English Monarchy bases its supreme rule on the premise that they descend from King David; this is indeed why the 3 lions are on the English Royal crest, as the symbols of the Lion of Judah. King Louis' Daughter married into the royal house of Aquitaine, who in turn after two generations had married into the English Royal Line via Adele of England who was the daughter of Edward the Elder, Son of Alfred the Great King of Wessex (40th Great Grand Father). Most of the European Royalty is directly traceable to Biblical times, as a matter of fact many of the European Royal families claim in some way to be directly descended from King David son of Jesse and the Royal house of Judah. www.scotlandroyalty.org /royal-genealogy.html   (901 words)

King Philip Page 13 The English charged King Philip with plotting rebellion against their government, but the question is pertinent, how King Philip, an independent prince and ruler of another nation, could thus rebel. He was a singularly unstable-minded person, and, taking some dislike to the English, went to reside with Wamsutta; and after the death of the latter, continued with King Philip, becoming his secretary and interpreter as early as 1662. Yet by some means this came to the knowledge of King Philip; as a consequence, Sassamon was considered a traitor, and, by the laws of the Indians, had forfeited his life. massasoit.0catch.com /book13.htm   (801 words)

William "the Lion" of Scotland William, King of Scotland, was surnamed "The Lion" due to the rampant (standing on hind legs) red lion on a yellow field, which he had as his standard. William was outnumbered by the English garrison and even worse, a relief force of English soldiers under Ralf de Glanvil was approaching from the south. In the end, two of William's daughters were sent south to the English court so that John might find husbands for them (or so it was claimed), and until he did, he made them pets of his court, kept them well dressed and fed lavish foods such as figs. members.aol.com /skyewrites/thelion.html   (1544 words)

Kings X The marriage of Charles to Diana was extremely important because Diana brought one aspect of the Merovingian bloodline back to the English crown: Greatest among the princess's forbearers were the Stuart kings, Charles II and James II. For centuries, Merovingians were central to the marriages of all French and English kings, and it remains so today with respect to English monarchy.

Long Shadow of King Philip On September 29, 1671, King Philip signed yet another treaty with the whites that brought about what he had been trying to avoid all along: the subjugation of his people under the laws of Plymouth colony and the English king. Styled "king" by the English, Philip actually lacked the sweeping political authority over his own people attributed to him by ethnocentric whites who assumed that the governmental structure of Indian tribes resembled the English monarchy. Repeatedly during the late 1660s and early 1670s, the Plymouth magistrates--often the victims of their own paranoia and gullibility--suspected that King Philip was plotting with the French in Canada or the Dutch in New Netherlands to attack the settlements of New England. www.thehistorynet.com /ah/blkingphilip2/index1.html   (3738 words)
