...the Roman Empire in 476, to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Kings and Queens are a trademark of the Medieval era. A queen is a female ruler, or companion of a ruler, of a monarchy. The Queen can act as an advisor for their king or be a regent, backup, for kings that are too sick or young to rule. The structured and traditional life of a queen sets them apart from other nobility in the feudal system.

In the case of a sick king, queens stand in as temporary rulers, or regent. “I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.”-Elizabeth I Kings and...

To answer that question, I researched about Egypt mythology, so their gods and goddesses, their kings, queens, pharaohs, mummification, and their beliefs of the afterlife. But let me his straight: the beginning of the ancient Egyptian era began about 5,000 years ago. (Around 3100 BCE) Egyptians were very religious, and they believed that everything in their lives depended on gods and goddesses. We know over 2,000 names of gods, but I'll only tell you about a few important ones. Egyptians believed that the god Ptah was the creator of earth. A very...

...God’s hand is clearly over Esther, Mordecai, and the Jews. The story of Esther is set in the Persian Empire, and primarily occurs in Susa, the winter capital of the Persian Court. Esther’s story takes place between 486 and 465 BCE, during the reign of king Ahasuerus, or Xerxes. Prior to the entrance of Esther, King Xerxes had been planning to invade Greece and was having a six month long banquet with his princes and nobles to strategize. Not only was he working on a plan for invasion, he was also demonstrating the fact that he possessed the resources and wealth to wage war (George 13). At the end of this six month period, Xerxes held a seven day long feast. On the seventh and final day, King Xerxes summoned Queen Vashti to appear in her crown, and only her crown, for the people and nobles to witness her beauty. Queen Vashti refused. Xerxes viewed Queen Vashti’s disobedience as a threat to the role of the man in the household; therefore she was banished and never again allowed in his presence. By Vashti’s banishment, King Xerxes believed he had restored order and made a proclamation that every man would be the ruler of his house (NIV Est. 1:22). However, Xerxes now needed a new Queen. During this time, Persia was a dark, dark place,...

...and Composition Tanrak Ploykao Table of Content Title | Page | Introduction | 3 | The Role of Women (Informative Essay) | 4 | Guenever (Character Analysis Essay) | 8 | Destiny of a King (Reader-Response Criticism) | 13 | Conclusion | 15 | Works Cited | 16 | Introduction The Arthurian Portfolio consisted of three different essays.. The first essay informs the reader about the role of women in 11th Century based on the book. I think the role of women clearly constructs throughout the Book II throughout Book VI. It is important to acknowledge the role of women based on the perspective of male author. The second essay analyzes Guenever who is one of the protagonists in the book. I chose her character because the male author wrote her through his perspective. I found it was interesting to observe her development from Book III through Book VI. The last essay is the reader-response criticism on Book I: The Sword in the Stone. I like this criticism because I can express my understanding about the book. The criticism allows me to explain how I interpret the text. Overall, these three essays are relevant to the Arthurian legend and what I have learned about it. Tanrak Ploykao 5th Period The Role of Women The presence of women in the Once and Future King has often been behind the shadow of the men: the noble knights, the knights and the mage Merlyn. Many women, in this book, have influence in the men’s life. Throughout the book, women are often...
