Monarch of Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The king was traditionally elected at the Stone of Mora, and the people had the right to both elect king and to depose him. The power of the king was however, greatly strengthened by the introduction of Christianity during the 11th century, and the following centuries saw a process of consolidation of power in the hands of the king. Originally, the Swedish king had little power, and it was restricted to the functions of a warchief, judge and priest at the Temple at Uppsala (see Germanic king). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/King_of_Sweden   (561 words)

COUNCILS OF LYONS - LoveToKnow Article on COUNCILS OF LYONS The representatives of the kings of England and France were equally unfortunate in their claim for a prorogation of the decision. The objections of the ambassador, that the accused had not been regularly cited, that the pope was plaintiff and judge in one, and that therefore the whole process was anomalous, achieved as little success as his appeal to the future pontiff and to a truly oecumenical council. On the 17th of July the verdict was pronounced by Innocent IV., excommunicating Frederick and dethroning him on the grounds of perjury, sacrilege, heresy and felony. 45.1911encyclopedia.org /L/LY/LYONS_COUNCILS_OF.htm   (768 words)

Szlachta Despite having a king, Poland was called a "republic" (Rzeczpospolita) because the king was elected by all interested members of the nobility and Poland was considered to be the property of this class, not of the king or the ruling dynasty. In 1422 King Władysław II Jagiełło by the Privilege of Czerwińsk (Polish: "przywilej czerwiński") established the inviolability of nobles' property (their estates could not be confiscated except upon a court verdict) and ceded some jurisdiction over fiscal policy to the Royal Council (later, the Senat), including the right to mint coinage. King Władysław's quid pro quo for this boon was the nobles' guarantee that his throne would be inherited by one of his sons (who would be bound to honor the privileges theretofore granted to the nobility). www.worldhistory.com /wiki/S/Szlachta.htm   (2012 words)

Encyclopedia: Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth The king was obliged to respect citizens' rights specified in King Henry's Articles as well as in pacta conventa negotiated at the time of his election. The Commonwealth had a parliament, the Sejm, as well as a Senat and an elected king. In the late 17th century, the weakened Commonwealth under King Jan III Sobieski was still strong enough to deal crushing defeats to the Ottoman Empire: in 1683, the Battle of Vienna marked the final turning point in a 250-year struggle between the forces of Christian Europe and the Islamic Ottoman Empire. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Polish_Lithuanian-Commonwealth   (8560 words)

EH.Net Encyclopedia: Economic History of Hawai'i King Kalakaua opposed this demand, and in July 1887, opponents of the government forced the king to accept a new constitution and cabinet. The king promulgated a constitution with provisions for a Hawai'i legislature in 1840.

The King of Gaia and His Amazing Grace As the messengers of the king were busy throughout the land publishing the word and being persecuted and reviled for their efforts, periodically the King himself, with that list in hand, would make a majestic foray into some venue or other.

kingcountyjournal.com - Appoint sheriff again, county panel suggests Last week the King County Commission on Governance recommended the sheriff again be appointed because he or she doesn't set countywide policy, the criteria it used to determine which offices should be elective or appointive. A new recommendation to appoint, rather than elect, the King County sheriff flies in the face of what voters overwhelmingly decided in the 1990s, according to a Sheriff's Office spokesman. The issue of whether to appoint or elect the sheriff was only a small part of the sweeping recommendations the commission made after about 10 months of deliberations. www.kingcountyjournal.com /sited/story/html/159271   (515 words)

Te Waharoa then leads the “King” forward, declaring him to be “King of the Maori race, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”.

When he and the king met, the monarch had to sit down on the ground in token of respect until his holiness had passed by. www.sacred-texts.com /pag/frazer/gb01702.htm   (1303 words)

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: witenagemot @ HighBeam Research Furthermore, although records are rather scarce, it appears probable that the witan, especially in Wessex, had the power to elect the king. Although the number of members and the functions varied with each realm and each king, the counsel and assent of the group were usually sought by the king in matters of laws, taxes, foreign negotiations, national defense, and the bestowal of privileged estates. Probably only rarely would the witan directly oppose the king, but their potential independence must have served as a check on the monarch. www.highbeam.com /library/doc0.asp?DOCID=1E1:witenage&refid=ip_encyclopedia_hf   (294 words)
