    To What Extent Can the Years 1661-67 Be Seen as Succesful for Charles

    The end of the interregnum government heralded Charles II's return to the throne. The period known as the restoration can be argued to have been 'successful' for Charles. However, a successful reign can be distinguished in many ways. At the time one of the most important issues for Charles was trying to create a stable financial and stable settlement after the long period without a Monarch, and to an extent, 'success', can be defined to whether a stable settlement was established. Charles' triumphant, Anglican, State Church was arguably successful as it formed a stable religious settlement, yet on the other hand, it was not what Charles initially wanted. In this way it could be argued that 'success' can be measured to what extent Charles got what he wanted, and how much control he had over his Parliament. A successful reign can also be measured by assessing how well liked Charles was by his people at the time of financial difficulty following the grievances of the Civil War.…

    Summary Of The Cult Of Saints Peter Brown

    When interested in the religious culture of medieval Europe in late antiquity, “The Cult of Saints” by Peter Brown is a magnificent source to turn to. Among receiving honorary degrees, prizes and book awards, Brown is also a historian at Princeton University who focuses on social and religious aspects of medieval Europe. Brown critically analysis the significance of saints and their holy remains to the people of Europe following the fall of the Roman Empire. These sacred figures in Christianity heavily influenced many aspects of society. His writing style is dense and one may encounter a few words in Latin throughout the book. However, the book is supported with a range of sources from the bible to other authors themselves which can be found at the notes section at the very back of the book. Brown highlights his intentions for the book in his updated, Preface to the 2014 Edition, here he includes the title of each chapter and gives a brief overview of what to expect in them. In reviewing Peter Brown's work, he exemplifies the role of the cult of Saints and relics and their contribution to development of medieval Europe among other concepts; while thriving in addressing modern ideas such as the “two-tiered” model that commonly misrepresents the true nature of the cult of saints.…

    Bede's Characterization of the Celts with Regard to the Spread of Christianity

    Religion has served as an influential guide for society throughout its entire existence. Western culture, especially, has been sculpted by the Christian religion, and Christianity has remained a widely practiced religion. In the Ecclesiastical History of the English People, one of Bede’s main intentions is to illustrate the process of the spread of Christianity throughout England since its introduction in 156 (Bede 49). Though Bede doesn’t entirely agree with all of the Celtic people’s views and interpretations about Christianity, he does characterize the Celtic people as a rather accepting people who were an integral part to the spread of Christianity in England.…

    Pacific Empire Dbq

    The emperors, Henry VII and Ludwig IV, had both dreamed of bringing about a renewal of imperial authority and the empire, in the mould of the Carolingians, or perhaps even, Rome itself, and it seemed at the beginning of the fourteenth-century that this might be plausible. Yet, this had not been the only envisioned ‘empire’ at the start of the fourteenth-century; there was the imagined papal monarchy, reigning supreme over all of Italy, or perhaps even all Christendom, the Plantagenet Empire dreamed of by King Edward I of England, or the Capetian Empire of King Philip IV of France, or even King Alfonso XI of Castile’s united Iberian Peninsula. These “fantasy kingdoms”, to borrow a phrase from John Watts, would prove to be unachievable, but as…

    Charles Carlise: Autobiography

    When I was in eighth grade one of my childhood dreams came true. I made the little league all-star team for the first time in my life. As I sat with the rest of the kids at the closing ceremonies of the regular season, I was not at all expecting my name to be called when the names of the select few players who made the all-star team were being announced. When they did call my name, I hesitated at first not knowing what to do. I was overcome by the awe of making the team. One of my friends told me to go up to the trophy stand where the coach of the all-star team was standing and accept my jersey, so I did. It took a while for it to really sink in that I had made the team, but when it did I was extremely delighted.…

    How Did King Henry Viii Corrupt

    Throughout the history of time, there have been many leaders of the world’s different civilizations. While each leader may have possessed different qualities: some strong, others weak; some righteous, others corrupt…each rule played an important part in shaping the culture of that civilization. Though not every civilization was governed by a leader that had a worldly impact, the rule of England under King Henry VIII, was one of great historical importance. Unlike many leaders of his time, Henry’s legacy was not forged under the motivation of power and greed, but by love and his desire to have a male heir. Henry VIII became the King of England in 1509 after the death of his father Henry VII. Like most kings Henry desired to have a male heir,…

    Immediate Causes of the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre

    Since the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre there has been a great deal of controversy over the causes and blame of the historic crisis. Any religious dispute is a very contentious debate due to the fact that there were generally very few impartial bystanders to record what took place. Given that the clash between the Protestants and Catholics had been an ongoing problem since Protestantism had spread to France in the early 16th century, documents that can be studied are often very biased, and historians must gather information from a third party perspective in order to form opinions about historic events such as the Saint Bartholomew’s day massacre. Attempting to figure out why such a horrific event happened is incredibly difficult. It is impossible to know why an individual acted the way they did unless they recorded their thoughts at the time. However, by encompassing various documents written by different individuals we are able to establish an understanding of the circumstances leading up to the massacre and hereby construct a recipe for the event. The formula for any sort of civil crisis is simple; it requires two groups of people who passionately disagree on an issue enough to fight over it, a situation that puts high levels of tension between the two parties, an established fear of the unpredictability of the opposing group, and finally a trigger. In the days leading up to Saint Bartholomew’s Day 1572, the recipe for a disastrous event unfolds and ultimately evolves into the slaughtering of thousands of Protestants in Paris and surrounding regions of France.…

    What Is The St Mcgraw's Day Massacre

    On August 24, 1572, Catholic troops opened fire on innocent Protestants that were waiting for the time of a royal wedding in Paris, France killing nearly two-three thousand people and eventually spreading to other French cities and racked up to nearly five-six thousand people dead. This horrifying event is famously known as the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, one of the most disturbing events in the sixteenth century. There are reasons for the Catholic’s actions, whether they are justifying or not, the Catholics felt it would be the best solution. Many questions arise of why they did what they did. And many things took place during the run-up of the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre.…
