...Tweedy ENGL 215-001 18 November 2014 Henry V Henry the fifth was a man of amazing character and a role model for both the young and old. Even though he went through a stage of rebellion in his early years by partying, drinking, and fooling around with women, once the throne was given to him, he owned up to his responsibilities and ended up becoming an amazing king that men and women of all ages still look up to today. As he grew up being heir to the throne, there was undoubtedly much pressure on him, but as one reads the book Henry V, written by William Shakespeare, they will see that once Henry inherited the crown, he proved to be a merciful king, a man of humility, and someone who gave all glory to God in everything he did. Henry was a merciful king. Throughout his reign, there were many times that he could have enacted his right as king and punished many a Englishmen who did not agree or come under his leadership, but Henry chose to show mercy when he did not have to. When Henry went through the camp on the eve of battle disguised as a regular soldier to find out what the men were thinking and feeling about the war, he came across men who did not show him the loyalty that he wanted in his soldiers, and he met men who did not view him in a good light, yet he did not do anything. Henry understood that many of the men were scared, that they felt the war was already won by the French because of the number of soldiers that they had. Henry had compassion on the men as he felt...

...extract from Servini’s book ‘Henry VIII: The Reformation’ published in 1994 where the action of process of reforms was established to Protestant churches and many other institutions, bringing new practices in which displays Henry’s ideology and practicality that was also crucial to highlight Cromwell’s performance which is stated as “personal influence of the King”. This suggest that the King Henry strongly supported and valued Cromwell. This great respect from Henry came from his ability to carry out his responsibilities and duties in which Cardinal Wolsey had failed to achieve such as the divorce with Catherine of Aragon. Servini’s view shows his view is from the reference to the appeals such as 1533, Acts of Restraint in which Henry VIII’s ideas began to flourish and a more practical approach leading from his royal supremacy, allowing the Break With Rome. However, this source also suggests there was an influence of other officials progressing with the Break with Rome, which is stated in Source 8 that even though Cromwell organised the ‘Acts of Annates’ which allowed the transportation of money to Rome and organising a major attack on the ‘Commons of the Church’ which laid the first real leap to the Break of Rome. In source 8 it states ‘’the most significant event during the reformation was the pregnancy of Anne Boleyn’’ in 1532 which also provided an important aspect to the Break of Rome. Anne Boleyn’s influence and pregnancy had driven Henry to passionately fulfil his authority...

...called Hispania, to it were born Roman emperors Trojan and Theodosius I and the philosopher Seneca. The Roman Empire (Latin: Imperium Romanum) was the post-Republican period of the ancient Roman civilization, characterized by an autocratic form of government and large territorial holdings in Europe and around the Mediterranean. Spain During the Middle Ages 5th to 8th Century Rulers: Alaric I (Alareiks in the original Gothic) was likely born about 370 on an island named Peuce (the Fir) at the mouth of the Danube in present day Romania. King of the Visigoths from 395–410, Alaric was the first Germanic leader to take the city of Rome. Having originally desired to settle his people in the Roman Empire, he finally sacked the city, marking the decline of imperial power in the west. Euric, also known as Evaric, Erwig, or Eurico in Spanish and Portuguese (c. 415 – 484), Son of Theodoric I and the younger brother of Theodoric II and ruled as king of the Visigoths, with his capital at Toulouse, from 466 until his death in 484. He inherited a large portion of the Visigothic possessions in the Aquitaine region of Gaul, an area that had been under Visigothic control since 415. Over the decades the Visigoths had gradually expanded their holdings at the expense of the weak Roman government, advancing well into Hispania in the process. Alaric II, also known as Alarik, Alarich, and Alarico in Spanish and Portuguese or Alaricus in Latin (d. 507) succeeded his father Euric on December 28,...

...that really caused the expulsion of the Jewish people from Spain. Of course, the official justification for exiling the Jews was because they were counterproductive to the Church’s ultimate goal – they attempted to prevent the Marranos from severing their ties with Judaism. Anti-Semitism began soon after the beginning of Christianity with the inherent hatred toward Jews simply because they have differing theological and religious practices are not Christian, not because they are specifically Jewish. Anti-Judaism began with the crucifixion of Christ – it became commonly believed that the Jewish people were responsible for the crucifixion which caused initial discriminatory writings against the Jews as a people, as well as societal misunderstanding and distrust. The Jewish people were exposed to severe persecution under Visigoth control in the Mediterranean and more Christian control in Spain. It is therefore not surprising that the Jewish people helped the Muslims invade and conquer the Iberian Peninsula in 711 C.E. from the Christians, ushering in the Golden Age of Spanish Jewry. Not long after the conquest, the Jews integrated themselves into Muslim society. Massive migration waves – of both Jewish and Muslim – toward Spain created a political, cultural, and powerful region, running from Barcelona in the...

... Richard the Lionheart was born in 1157 and was the king of England who reigned between 1189 and 1999. His name originated from his involvement in military conquest, because he was so brave and a great leader that people started calling him . Richard, according to Gransden (1996) began commanding his army at 16 years of age. Because of this, the Muslims called him the King of England long before he took the position. He spent most of his life in Aquitaine where he made the most of kingdom resources in support of his military agreement. Although, Richard the Lionheart could be intelligent in matters of politics and was famously skilled on the battlefield, he was also highly cultured and well-educated, while also writing poems and songs. Through most of his life he enjoyed the support and affection of his people. But Richard was far more interested in his holdings in France and in his Crusading endeavors than he was in governing England, where he spent about six months of his ten-year reign. But I guess you can also say that Henry and Richard the Lionheart had one thing in common… they both care more about their kingdom than life itself. Henry even meditated on Richard’s behalf, fearing the breaking of the empire he had built. King Henry got together his continental armies together then the younger Henry “unexpectedly” died, and the rebellion fell apart. Richard the Lionheart had become King of England, but his heart wasn’t in the Sceptered Isle. Ever since...

...E04/Garmon/06 Outline Rough Draft 24 Feb 2012 Richard I the Lionheart I. Introduction of paper A. Hook (Attention Getting Statement) B. Background Information C. Thesis II. It would have been hard to find a more driving, ambitious and fiercely competitive family to be born into, but Richard would hold his own. A. Richard was the third surviving child of Henry II, one of the most astute and formidable of all English kings and the ruler of more of France than the French king himself. 1. Henry’s domains stretched from the Scottish border to the Pyrenees. He was twenty-four when Richard was born and the ravishingly beautiful, accomplished and willful Eleanor of Aquitaine, (Richard’s mother) was around thirty-five. 2. Both Eleanor and Henry were French and neither spoke English. 3. Their first son, William, had died in infancy. Their second child, Hennery, later known as the Young King, was two when Richard was born, and their daughter Matilda was one. There would be two more daughters and two more sons. B. Richard was born in Oxford, in Beaumont Palace which his Grandfather Henry I had built thirty years or so before. 1. There was no university yet at Oxford and the palace stood where Worcester College is today. 2. Out of all of Eleanor’s children, Richard was her favorite, but he didn’t see much of his mother or father as a child, as he grew older they were around more often. C. Fierce family quarrels gave Richard his first experience...

Unam Sanctam - Issued by Boniface VIII - “Outside the Roman church there was no salvation, and that every human creature was subject to the Roman Pontiff.” (pg. 52 - A History of the Modern World) The French king sent soldiers to arrest him, but he died before they could get to him. Great Schism - (of the west) Two popes had been elected (See Babylonian Captivity) but the papal court in Avignon had gained more authority than the kings’.

John Wyclif - A famous Lollard, he told people that a true church need not such lavish possessions, and that people could find salvation in the bible. John Huss - Supported Wycliffe's ideas and spread them throughout Bohemia. Hussites were a religious and Slavic party who protested against the Germans’ (who lived in Bohemia) supremacy.

...know that Genesis 14:18 says that “Melchizedek was king of Salem” and “was the priest of God Most High.” Does this verse give enough information to determine just who he was; after all there is no genealogy for him. Various theories suggest who Melchizedek may have been, and all accounts are relatively similar. We will concentrate on three different commentaries to obtain a better understanding of the person of Melchizedek. Matthew Henry’s Commentary starts like most of the other descriptions, making reference to Genesis 14:18, “He was king of Salem and priest of the most high God”. Henry’s commentary lists some of the traditional beliefs of who Melchizedek may have been. He says the rabbinical writers conclude that Melchizedek was Shem the son of Noah. He asks the question, if this is actually Shem, why should his name be changed? And how came he to settle in Canaan? It is not hard to believe that God would change the name of a person, because we see this happening quite often in Scripture e.g., Abram to Abraham; Jacob to Israel. Henry goes on to write, “Many Christian writers have thought that this was an appearance of the Son of God himself,” “appearing to him as a righteous king, owning a righteous cause, and giving peace.” The third belief is what Henry describes as “The most commonly received opinion” about him: “Melchizedek was a Canaanitish prince, that reigned in Salem, and kept up the true religion there.” Henry asks, “but, if so, why should his name occur here...

...Use source T, U and V and your own knowledge. Do you accept the view in source V that Wolsey’s domestic policies were disappointing? Thomas Wolsey was Henry VIII chief minister from his rise to power in 1514 after working himself up until his eventual fall from the king’s favour in 1529. During the time period where Wolsey contained his power he made many changes to England’s domestic policies. For this reason I do not accept the view of source V that Wolsey’s domestic policies were completely disappointing, this essay will show my debates as to why I believe that Wolsey’s domestic policies were not so unsatisfactory. Wolsey’s domestic policies were not all so disappointing especially when you associate them with the poor, this being because he created the Star Chamber. The Star Chamber emphasized his success of domestic policies due to the fact it gave him more popularity with the laity, the Star Chamber was a court that anyone could bring their case to, meaning the poor had the opportunity for justice, this is one reason why the policies were not disappointing. Another reason why this was a success was that Wolsey dealt with hundred and twenty cases each year which is ten times as much as Henry VII the year before. This is clearly a great success and definitely not a disappointment with the poor proportion of the county. Source U supports this point due to the fact it states ‘He favours the people exceedingly…. Hearing their cases and seeking to dispatch them instantly...
