  Interregnum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An interregnum is a period between kings, or between popes of the Roman Catholic Church.
The English Interregnum from 1649 – 1660 was a republican period in Britain, comprising the Commonwealth and the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell after the regicide of Charles I and before the restoration of Charles II
An interregnum occurs also upon the death of the Roman Catholic Pope, though this is generally known as a sede vacante (vacant seat).

 King of the Britons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When Vortigern returned and called for the return of the Saxons, the house of Brittany, in exile since Vortigern's ascension, returned to Britain and destroyed the Saxons.
Cadwallader, an example of the decline of the Britons, was the son of a Saxon queen and grandson of a Gewissei king.
The house intermarried with the Saxons and, later, the Normans, and the authority of the British people waned until it was no more than another piece of the English ethnicity.

 Encyclopedia: Keredic
According to Geoffrey, Keredic's rule was so unpopular that the Saxon inhabitants of the island enlisted the aid of an army of Vandals from Ireland to drive him from his kingdom.
Geoffrey's legendary Keredic may have been a conflation of Cerdic, the traditional founder of Wessex, who, despite his political affiliation with the Saxons, was likely of British descent himself, and another Cerdic, who reigned over the Celtic kingdom of Elmet in present day Leeds until his defeat at the hands of Edwin of Northumbria.
Whatever the case, Geoffrey places a lentgthy interregnum between the expulsion of Keredic and the rise of the next British king, Cadvan.

 Francis Atterbury   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Such was the argument which prefaced Atterbury’s colourful history of Convocation from Saxon times to the period of the Reformation.
In ‘The Wisdom of Providence manifested in the Revolutions of Government’ (preached before the House of Commons in 1701), he argued that such events made men aware of Divine Providence, and that they acted as a means of political justice, humbling the supposed wisdom of men and thereby encouraging national piety.
Atterbury also assumed that the relative paucity of such events revealed the essential fitness of England’s forms of government since Saxon times, with the brief exceptions of the Norman Conquest, the Interregnum and the rule of James II.

The original Church was a small Saxon one of nave and chancel only.
In the interregnum between the two Viking invasions, when Edgar was on the throne (959 - 975), quite a few Churches were built in the villages of England and it is likely that St. Michael's was one of them.
It is known that before the so-called "improvement and re-construction" of 1842, our Church bore many evidences of great antiquity and the architect at that time, F P Robinson, produced a folio volume entitled "An Attempt to Ascertain the Age Of Mickleham Church", published by Carpenter, of Bond Street.

William of Normandy conducted in person the military operations for the reduction of the isle; but he was compelled to retire, and it was only by the voluntary submission of Thurstan and the monks that he obtained possession of the Fen fortress, which he garrisoned with Norman troops.
Thurstan died in 1072, the last Saxon Abbot of Ely; and after an interregnum of nine years, the first Norman abbot was installed in the person of Simeon, a relative of the Conqueror, and eighty-seven years of age.
From here the entire length of the cathedral is impressively visible, along the narrow Norman nave with its nineteenth century roof painting to die great stained glass window behind the presbytery and high altar at the east end.

 Interregnum Or Endgame? Radical Right Thought In The Post-Fascist Era
Contemporary history is thus an ‘interregnum’ for the spiritually awakened (a concept derived from the Conservative Revolution).
The modern world is not an interregnum, but it is an endgame, one being continually played out, like the eternal recurrence of world snooker competitions and European cup football on British TV, superimposing a cyclic pattern on rectilinear history.
Instead it is between genuinely liberal versions of democracy open to global humanitarian and ecological perspectives on the one hand, and radical right versions on the other which exploit the profound ambiguity of the concept ‘demos’.

While a great many of the Saxon rights were abridged following the Norman conquest, the right and duty of arms possession was retained.
Under the Assize of Arms of 1181, "the whole community of freemen" between the ages of 15 and 40 were required by law to possess certain arms, which were arranged in proportion to their possessions.[2] They were required twice a year to demonstrate to Royal officials that they were appropriately Šarmed.
Following the Bill of Rights, Parliament reenacted that statute, leaving its operative parts unchanged with one exception--which removed the word "guns" from the list of items forbidden to the poorer citizens.[25] The right to keep and bear arms would henceforth belong to all English subjects, rich and poor alike.
