...Accession of Mary Mary’s accession generally accepted and favoured by the English people, most likely because she was a legitimate successor There was the issue with Lady Jane Grey – Northumberland attempted to make his daughter-in-law, Lady Jane Grey, the successor after Edward. She was Queen for nine days, but was deposed and Mary carried on as legitimate successor. Faction Mary was determined to fill the council with loyal people, but she couldn’t prevent all rivalries! = Gardiner vs. Paget. The rivalry emerged over Mary’s marriage issue. Gardiner proposed that Mary should marry Courtnay, and Paget argued she should marry Phillip of Spain Some were also sceptical of some of her policies, such as the effectiveness of the burning of protestants. However, despite some disagreements with her policies, she managed to obtain agreement for 3 major steps: the full return to Rome in religion, her marriage to the heir of the Spanish throne and the declaration of war on France Faction was much less of a problem in Mary’s reign than her predecessors, with a greater sense of continuity and solidarity among most councillors. Marriage The first question on everybody’s lips was “Who should marry Mary?” Edward Courtney vs. Phillip of Spain Why Phillip? He was a Catholic He was Spanish, and Mary was half Spanish after all! He had more political experience as he had already been regent in the Netherlands Spain has money and owns most of Europe and the Americas It would counter...

...Be Successful at Making England Catholic Again? Mary Tudor was the first born of Henry VIII and Henry’s first wife, Catherine of Aragon on the 18th February 1516, in Greenwich Palace. Mary Tudor was raised as devout catholic, and experienced a first-class education, being an only child. In 1553, the death of Mary’s half-brother Edward VI had approached her, and she was expected to be the next reigning monarch. But unexpectedly it wrote that Lady Jane grey, (who was a protestant) should perform as the next queen in Edward’s will. But this wasn’t too bad, as, Lady Jane Grey only achieved to stay queen for 9 days, because people of England protested for Mary to Reign. This came true on 19th July 1553 when Mary was proclaimed queen at St Pauls Cathedral and coroneted on 1st October 1553 at Westminster Abbey’s. Mary achieved to undertake her duty as queen of England for 5 years. But as Mary was very strict and punctual catholic; she had the duty of transferring England into a Roman Catholic country, as England was left protestant by Lady Jane Grey. But this job came with its struggles, as Mary tried to accomplish this, which will be pointed out in this essay. Mary took on much advantage, trying to transfer England back to a Catholic country, which improved her. Hence by her nickname ‘Bloody Mary’. Mary was called this for a reason, as Mary ascertained that all Protestants of England who declined to become a Catholic were killed. But Mary made sure that they went through pain, and...

...Assess the significance of religion as a factor in bringing about change in the nature of royal authority between 1540 – 1642 Between 1540 and 1642 England saw six different rulers; an examination into the religious changes, personality and relationship with parliament will bring about an answer in to the change of nature of royal authority. During 1540-1642 religious change led to rebellions and conflict proved highly embarrassing and potentially fatal to the monarchy ‘The church acted as a bedrock of authority. It had been a source of authority in late medieval society’ says Nicholas Fellows. After the reformation of the church Edward VI had to deal with situation of confusion left from his father. Edward was a firm supporter of the religious reforms and by 1549 England had made a caution step towards Protestantism. The western rebellion 1547 illustrated a strong sense of religious conservatism. The complaints that caused the rebellion were the changes that were thought to have taken place in the baptism and confirmation and the rebels wanted the restoration of many of the old religious practices. Article two’s call for the restoration of the six articles undermined all the work of the Edwardian reformation, they also had a strong desire for the ceremony and ritual of catholism. The rebels attacks communion and both kinds of the new prayer book which were symbolic of the new religion, clearly most of the demands was an attack of Protestantism and furthermore an attack...

...Conservatives feared the worst – Edwards tutors were Protestant evangelists fresh from Cambridge. Protector Somerset – the Kings Uncle fought expensive foreign wars dissolved the Chantries and introducing a moderately Protestant settlement in 1549, which went beyond anything Henry VIII would have permitted. The nations finances were stretched – the Treasury exhausted and the coinage debased (reduction in amount of precious metal made to make coins). Protector Somerset fell when he failed to take the rebellions of 1552 seriously. The Duke of Northumberland emerged as the new ruler. He cut spending and made peace with France and Spain. Northumberland attempted to prevent Mary Tudor from succeeding when Edward died in 1553. He wanted to place Lady Jane Grey in the throne. Key Questions: Does the fact that Edward died before he became an adult distort our understanding of Edward’s power and influence? Do we assume that because he was a child he was bound to be insignificant? Should we accept the proposition that Edward’s opinion could have mattered? What did Edward think about the key issues of the day? – religion, government and foreign policy. Was he a suitable King? Your Task: You are going to find out what sort of person and king Edward VI was as well as extent to which he influenced the government at a minor king. Task 1: Was the reign of a minor necessarily a negative experience for a country? Read the information on page 187 (the Early Tudors, Rogerson...

...Sir Thomas Wyatt was a member of a wealthy and well connected gentry family from Kent. He succeeded to the family estates on the death of his father in 1542. Unfortunately for Wyatt, his career suffered a setback in 1547 when Surrey fell into disfavor with Henry VIII and was executed. As a committed protestant Wyatt favored the Edwardian regime, which he defended in 1549 when riots broke out in Kent. He was trusted by Somerset's successor Northumberland, who appointed him to represent the English government in negotiations with the French in 1550. Wyatt served the Edwardian regime loyally but declared his support for Mary when Jane Grey was proclaimed queen. Wyatt's initial support for Mary soon evaporated when he heard of the Spanish marriage. As an MP he became involved in the opposition to the proposed marriage in parliament but his hopes of persuading the queen to reject the marriage failed.By the end of January 1554 anti-Spanish feelings led to a rebellion.The rebellion was ultimately a failure and therefore the threat it posed must have been highly significant in the moment but passed quickly. Mary's character, her determination and her courage were important factors that helped to keep royal authority intact. Mary was known throughout her reign for her strong religious beliefs. Mary was a devoted catholic with strong views on how the country would be best suited to her religious influences. Her religious conviction and strong personality combined were in many ways responsible...

...The Lunar Light Ritual By: Simon G Will the shadows devour me tonight? Or will fate hang another grain of fear upon my brow? The thoughts engrossed in my mind as I swam my way through the endless sea of night. A calm breeze circulated about the Gods Wood, bringing with it the serenity of mid-autumn night. It stirred up the fallen ashen leaves, and they performed their nightly ritual – a dainty waltz of shadows, oscillating to the rhythmic chants of the wind, who recited indiscernibly archaic spells from the deep. The ancient Heart Trees sang along in the wind with speech too ancient to be fathomed, empowered by the primal force entombed within the Earth. Shadows in the shapes of man and demon don in robes of night danced to the rhythm. More leaves, thousands of them, began to assemble from all over, forming a storm of greens that swirled about a single point in the clearing where I stood, watching the spectacle, like a prophecy sent as a forewarning of an ill omen that came too late. Just then, I felt a sharp swing in the temperature of the air. The incantation starts to upsurge and intensify. The melody accompanying the faint recitation began to transpose upwards, higher and higher, with no sign of stopping. The tension and urgency of the mantra increased dramatically. What astonishing feat of necromancy are they performing that they should require so much dark magical power to ensure its success? I wondered. One of the ancient Heart Trees paused in the midst of...

...Ladies and Gentlemen Project Paper Shantrice Scott Strayer University Dr. Hunsucker HUM111 November 24, 2014 Many students set goals with the hope that their achievements may help them be accepted into their chosen college. Unfortunately, they often put too much emphasis on one area and do not take part in a wide range of activities. Bewildered college applicants often say, "I've had a perfect average since I started junior high. How could they reject me?" What they do not realize is that schools are interested in more than just intellectual achievements. Others find themselves saying, "I am the best baseball player in my school. Why did I get rejected?" This also proves that college acceptance is not based on an athletic single area of activity, whether academic, musical, or Statement of Purpose. (Allen 1996) I firmly believe that it is important to be well-rounded, taking part in both challenging and interesting activities instead of just focusing on athletics or academics. I understand that proving oneself to be an outstanding athlete requires much skill development and hours of practice, and this is true for demonstrating intellectual ability, too. But a truly capable person balances many activities. Taking part in school, athletics, music, community service, extra-curricular activities, academic clubs, social clubs, hobbies and spending time with friends and family are the qualities that describe a truly well-rounded person. Sometimes students' ideas about...

...point was about the term “ladies and gentlemen.” It would be easy to think of upper class women in flashy dresses and extravagant hats and men in tailcoats and top hats when talking about ladies and gentlemen. However, one of my goals when using the terms is to make their definitions much more than mere appearance, if appearance at all. This modernization of the terms helps bring the definition into the current century and throw away the traditional and very close-minded definition. It is for this reason that I believe being a lady or gentleman is based on personality, how a person treats others, I speak for most people who use the term “ladies and gentlemen” in reference to a person’s conduct, not a person’s class, social standing, race, sexuality. Some, when faced with the terms “ladies and gentlemen,” will immediately assume the worst by using the outdated definitions. Some will also dig for reasons to label those who use “ladies and gentlemen”. In labeling us this way, these people do not facilitate any sort of progress for the terms or for any sort of unity for women, or men, ladies or gentleman. We live where we ought to not judge people by the color of their skin, their class, gender, or sexuality, with all of this, there are still groups who refuse to take off their blinders. Ladies and Gentleman, now there is a saying that has been with us for a long time, but what does it really mean and where did it come from? Let’s start with the ladies as we all have been known...

It is thus notsurprising that he was relaxed and unconcerned about his circumstances at the company ashe entered the employee lounge to attend the late-afternoon welcoming reception for his newsupervisor. The new manager of accounts payable, Kristin, had been transferred to Steven’s divisionfrom a similar position in another subsidiary of the company because of her proven talent fororganizing and improving the efficiency of operations there. A no-nonsense type ofmanager, Kristin was experienced and determined to perform her new assignment with thesame vigor that had brought her so much success throughout her career. At the reception, Kristin circulated through the room, introducing herself to her newsubordinates and asking each of them if they had any suggestions that would help make thepayables section a better place to work.

..."Jane Austen: Irony and Authority" Critic: Rachel M. Brownstein Source: Women's Studies 15, nos. 1-3 (1988): 57-70. Criticism about: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (1775-1817) Nationality: British; English [(essay date 1988) _In the following essay, Brownstein focuses on several of Austen's novels, including Pride and Prejudice, to support her argument that Austen uses irony to convey a "discursive authority" from which women can derive pleasure in a patriarchal society.] It is a truth universally acknowledged, right now, that language is involved in giving and taking both power and pleasure. Whether we begin by asking if the pen is a substitute for the penis, or think about why we read stories of love and adventure, or consider, from any point of view, pornography or psychoanalysis, we end by analyzing ways people please themselves and assert authority over others by using words. (To observe that critics writing about pleasure and power have managed to get what measure of the good stuff they can is to state the merely inevitable.) Claiming that women writers are powerful--i.e. effective and influential--has been a focus of feminist critics concerned to dispute the canon, to rehabilitate forgotten writers, and to revise women's relation to the languages of power. That Jane Austen, unforgotten, canonized, and stunningly authoritative, has been a problem for feminists is not surprising: in the struggle for power between politically radical and conservative critics...

...27 January 2014 Pride and Prejudice: Marxist Theory Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen illustrates how money shapes the attitude and the behavior of people. The main idea that Jane Austen presents is the Marxist Theory. This theory states that the underlying reason for . Elizabeth Bennet, the protagonist of the story, faces many characters who believe that money is the underlying factor to which someone should marry. A main example of this is Elizabeth’s mother Mrs. Bennet, who in fact believes that all of her daughters should get married, however marriage is not entirely about true love; Mrs. Bennet’s view on marriage is that her daughters should chase after a man who have great wealth. Throughout the book, Jane Austen consistently shows the upper class looking down toward the middle class, which is fairly ironic for the fact that they are not that poor if they are considered to be middle class. To continue, Jane Austen’s portrayal of, not all but quite a few, wealthy characters summarize the main theme of the novel, which is the power of societal reputation and money. In Pride and Prejudice nothing was further stressed than having economic power, money, and marriage. The first quote, “It is truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” (Austen 1) establishes what type of book this is going to be. Right out of the gate this quotation introduces the importance of economic power; this also shows the reader(s)...
