Legal insanity is not knowing whether the act you committed was wrong or right. Leon Czolgosz assassinated President William McKinley. Of all the Presidential assassinations, McKinley’s had the most dangerously political movement. This assassination was followed by Theodore Roosevelt taking over the Presidency of the United States.

    According to Mr. David Starkey, Henry VIII (the king) was far from similar to Henry VIII (the kid). Instead of researching through the records of the Royal Chamber, Starkey was able to find more details about Henry VIII’s early childhood in the Exchequer. The Royal Chamber wasn’t implemented yet until King Henry VII invades France back in 1492. By scavenging through the documents of the Exchequer, Starkey found a window where he could look at how Henry VIII was before all those wives and before becoming a king. To Starkey, how Henry VII was raised was a very crucial part of his life because it would explain how much of an influence it had made on his way to the throne and also during his reign at the throne.…

    Frederick II was born into the House of Hohenzollern on January 24, 1712 in Berlin, Germany. His parents were Frederick William I and Princess Sophia Dorothea (sister of George II of Great Britain). While Frederick II’s father was short tempered, his mother was calm and enjoyed living in luxury. By having opposite parents, Frederick II was taught differently by his two parents. His mother hired a tutor that taught him about French culture and Greek and Roman classics, whereas his father taught him everything he needed to know about how to run and defend a state. Because Frederick William I was an abusive father, Frederick II tried to run away at the age of 18 years old, with his friend, Hans Hermon von Katte. The two friends both were captured and got arrested for treason. Frederick II’s father decapitated Hans Hermon von Katte and made Frederick II watch the execution of his friend. In 1733, Frederick II had an arranged marriage set up by his father. He was to be married to Elizabeth Christine of Brunswick Bevern. After marrying, he quickly separated from his new wife and never showed interest in women again in his lifetime. In 1749, Frederick William I passed away leaving his throne to his son. Although Frederick II had a tough relationship with his father, Frederick William I left the world leaving a strong army and a lot of money.…
