King Philip's War - King Philip's War King Philip's War was a general Indian uprising in 1675-1676 to resist continued expansion of the English colonies in New England.

Hundred Years' War - Hundred Years' War The Hundred Years' War, a conflict between England and France, is generally considered to have lasted 116 years, beginning in 1337 and ending in 1453. The effective beginning of the war was the decision of King Edward III of England to make a claim on the throne of France following the death of King Charles IV of France in 1328. Edward's claim was through his mother, Isabella of France, Charles's sister. However, the French quoted the Salic law in order to bypass female heirs. Edward refused to do homage to Philip VI of France in 1337 and war began soon afterward. Edward's campaigns against the French knights were mostly successful. He was far less successful against the castles. He defeated the French at the Battle.
Great Depression in the United Kingdom - 5.3 The north and other industrial areas 6 The welfare state during the 1930s 7 Slow recovery 8 Rearmament and recovery 9 Consequences of the great depression Background The World Depression of 1929-33 broke at a time when the United Kingdom was still far from having recovered from the effects of the First World War more than a decade earlier. A major cause of the international financial instability which preceded and accompanied the Great Depression was the debt which many European countries had accumulated to pay for their involvement in the war. This debt destabilised many European economies as they tried to rebuild during the 1920s. Britain had largely avoided this trap by financing her war effort largely through sales of foreign assets. Along with loss of assets through enemy action,.
French Wars of Religion - in 1562. In March, the Guise faction attacked an Huguenot service at Vassy and committed a general massacre. This provoked a response from the Bourbons, who, led by Condé, organised a kind of protectorate over the Protestant churches and began to garrison strategic towns along the Loire. Here, at Dreux and at Orleans, there were the first major engagements; at Dreux, Condé was captured by the Guises and Montmorency, the governent general, by the Bourbons. At Orleans, the Duke of Guise was killed, and Catherine's fears that the war might drag on led her to negotiate a truce and the Edict of Amboise (1563). This was generally regarded as unsatisfactory by all concerned, the Catholics in particular being uneasy about what they regarded as unwise concessions to the heretics. The political.

Edward II of England - 25, 1284- September 21, 1327), of Caernarvon; king of England, the fourth son of Edward I of England by his first wife Eleanor of Castile, was born at Caernarfon Castle. The story that the king presented the newborn child to the Welsh as their future native prince is unfounded. Its earliest appearance was in the work of a 16th century Welsh "antiquary", David Powel. In fact, Edward was only made Prince of Wales in the Lincoln Parliament of February 7, 1301. Edward was, however, the first English prince to hold the title. When Edward was a few months old, his elder brother, Alfonso, died, and he became heir to the throne. From childhood, his father, a notable military leader, made a point of training him in warfare and statecraft. The prince.
Edward III of England - the greatest English kings of medieval times. He was born at Windsor as the son of King Edward II of England and Isabella of France. Unfortunately, Edward II was a weak king and aroused ill-feeling by his dependence on favourites. The neglected queen, Isabella, and her lover, Roger Mortimer, imprisoned and murdered Edward II, taking up the reins of government themselves during the minority of the heir. Edward III was crowned on January 25, 1327 after reaching majority and was declared King of France on January 26, 1340. As soon as Edward III reached the age of eighteen, he overthrew Mortimer and removed Isabella. He married Philippa of Hainault, and their eldest son, Edward the Black Prince, was an outstanding military leader. The reign of Edward III was marked by several.
Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester - Anne, daughter of the 2nd earl of Warwick. The influence of his father-in-law, who was afterwards admiral on the side of the parliament, drew Mandeville to the popular side in the questions in dispute with the crown, and at the beginning of the Long Parliament he was one of the recognized leaders of the popular party in the upper House, his name being joined with those of the five members of the House of Commons impeached by the king in 1642. At the outbreak of the Civil War, having succeeded his father in the earldom in November 1642, Manchester commanded a regiment in the army of Robert Devereux, 3rd Earl of Essex, and in August 1643 he was appointed major-general of the parliamentary forces in the eastern counties, with Cromwell as.
Edward Fox (bishop) - at Dursley in Gloucestershire, and may have been related to Richard Fox. He was educated at Eton College and at King's College, Cambridge. After graduating, he was made secretary to Cardinal Wolsey. In 1528 he was sent with Bishop Gardiner to Rome to obtain from Pope Clement VII a decretal commission for the trial and decision of the case between King Henry VIII of England and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. On his return Fox was elected provost of King's College, and in August 1529 was the means of conveying to the king Thomas Cranmer's historic advice that he should apply to the universities of Europe rather than to the pope.

Eighty Years' War - Eighty Years' War The Eighty Years' War, or Dutch Revolt, was the secession war in which the proto-Netherlands first became an independent country. It lasted from 1568 to 1648. During the war, the Dutch Republic became a world power for a short time (mainly through its naval strength) and experienced a period of unprecedented economical, scientific and cultural growth. Background to the War The Dutch provinces did not decide to secede from the Spanish empire all at the same time, and some never did (mainly what is now Belgium). In 1500 Charles V was born in Ghent. He was raised in the Netherlands. When he abdicated in 1556, his son Philip II of Spain took over. Contrary to his father, Philip was mainly interested in the Spanish side.
Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII - Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII Like King Henry VIII of England, whose wish to marry Anne Boleyn in the 1530s rocked his kingdom, King Edward VIII created a crisis for the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth in the 1930s when he wished to marry Wallis Simpson: The problem for Edward was that as king he was also head of the Church of England, which did not allow a divorced person to remarry while their (former) spouse was still living, and Mrs. Simpson's first two husbands were still alive. (One of the great ironies of the situation is that Henry VIII separated English Catholicism from Roman control, thus creating the Church of England, so he could divorce [see Note 1] Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn while Catherine was still.
