(Iwasawa, Huang, Hu, Kang to seats) (Cheng & Giritharan to Mic) (Entertainment—Cheng & Giritharan: Travel in the Middle Ages ) Cheng: Traveling during the Middle Ages could be very dangerous; roads were filled with thieves who would readily attack single individuals or small parties of people. Giritharan: This is one of the reasons why people tended to travel in larger groups. In addition to the dangers of outlaws, the road conditions and weather could be treacherous. People in larger groups were able to look out for and help each other along the way. Cheng: Many people never left their communities, but sometimes a pilgrimage - 2 - was the one and only time they would travel. Giritharan: Most people lived their entire life in the same village or town – with no Real reason to ever leave. Depending on their finances, pilgrims either walked or traveled on horseback. (Cheng & Giritharan to Seats) (Carbonell, Heideman to microphone) (Parents: Be ready to serve drinks.) (Knights, be seated.) (Heideman waits until ALL are seated) King Heideman: Welcome fine friends and neighbors both high and low. I am King Austin from the land of Hick. I bid thee good morrow to you all. Queen Carbonell: Our most congenial hosts have shown much hospitality on this merry eve. Perhaps a word from our gracious hosts would be in order. King Heideman: Thank you your highness. Honored guests. I say welcome merry gentlemen and ladies to you all. I bid you to enjoy these festivities great. Let the cupbearers bring forth my best drink so that we may begin in good cheer. (Carbonell, Heideman to seats) (Knoblach to mic) Queen Knoblach: Pray Your Highnesses. Let us learn about the poet of our time from Queen Nora S, King Bist, King Eli and King Ben. (Knoblach to seat) (Bortnick, Bist, Esses, Seely to Mic) (Parents: serve drinks) Entertainment-Geoffrey Chaucer-Bortnick, Bist, Esses & Seely Bortnick: Geoffrey Chaucer was born in London in 1340. He lived in England but traveled to France, Spain, Flanders and other areas as part of his job as a public servant. He is remembered as a poet, and one of his most well-known works is a poem entitled, “The Canterbury Tales,” a collection of stories written in the last years of his life. - 3 - Seely: The Canterbury Tales is a story about Medieval Pilgrims, on their journey from London to Canterbury. Their destination is a Cathedral in Canterbury, England, where a shrine is dedicated to a Saint named Thomas Becket. Thomas Becket was an Archbishop who was murdered in his own Cathedral by men devoted to the king at that time – King Henry II. Esses: The pilgrims who are travelling in the poem consists of men and women from different classes and occupations. There is one host and 30 pilgrims including Chaucer, who is actually a character – the narrator - in his poem. The pilgrims include a knight, a merchant, a miller, a pardoner, and a monk, among others. The host proposes a contest: each pilgrim is to tell two tales on the way to the shrine and two tales on the return. Bist: The host will judge the stories and choose the one that is the most entertaining. According to the rules conveyed by the host, there would have been 120 tales (30 pilgrims each telling four stories). Knowing this, it is clear that the Canterbury Tales is not a complete work; Chaucer died before he could finish the poem. Only 24 tales have survived – and two of those are only partial stories. (Bortnick, Bist, Esses, Seely to Seats) (Giritharan to mic) King Giritharan: Such interesting history to punctuate our occasion. I commend thee For such cultural loveliness. Next we will enjoy the prologue of the Pardoner’s Tale performed by Queen Knoblach and Queen Carbonell (Giritharan to seat) (Knoblach, Carbonell to Mic) (Entertainment: The Pardoner’s Tale, Part I-Carbonell & Knoblach) Knoblach: The Pardoner begins his introduction by telling his fellow pilgrims about his job. He explains that he is a pardoner who preaches that greed is the root of all evil. During his sermons he offers to sell holy relics to the members of the congregation. He explains that these holy relics have miraculous powers that will pardon the person’s sins. Carbonell: He confesses to the pilgrims that the holy relics have no power whatsoever. The Pardoner explains very honestly that he only sells relics for the money and that he truly does not have a care about what happens to the person’s soul upon death. He professes to be holy while pocketing the money dishonestly. After revealing these details about his occupation, the Pardoner begins his tale. (Knoblach, Carbonell to Seat) (Wang, Carbonell, Esses, Seely, Siddique to mic) - 4 - Queen Wang: Such wondrous tales for the ear to behold. I commend thee for such merriment, the likes of which are sorely missed within these confines. Queen Carbonell: Let us wet our lips, warm our hearts, and offer our toasts. A toast to this festive occasion. I beg thee lend aid in giving your blessing in this endeavor. King Esses: A toast to our honored guests. May health and happiness attend you each and all. May every joy be you and yours, both in home and hearth. May you be blessed by Providence with longevity and health. All Hail! All: Wassail! Queen Siddique: May we n’er forget the fairer folk who dine amongst our rough comrades. A toast to the ladies in this hall!! To them who are the quiet strengths of our lives, the rarest flowers of our courts, and the highest inspiration of our hearts. All Hail! All: Wassail!! Queen Seely: And let us also not forget our gentlemen both noble and stalwart. A toast to our men in this hall. To them, who display continued the noble aspects of friendship and the steel of loyalty. All Hail! All: Wassail! Queen Wang: Let us have some entertainment to begin our feast. We offer the Musings of King Austin and King Phoenix delighting us with the first part of The Pardoner’s Tale. (all speakers to seats) (Heideman & Hula to Mic) (Entertainment: The Pardoner’s Tale Part I: Heideman & Hula) Heideman: There once lived in Flanders three wicked men who spent their time in illegal, immoral activities. One night while the three men were in an inn, they looked outside and saw a group of men carrying a corpse to the grave. One of the three asked about the corpse and was told that he was an old man whose heart had been attacked by a thief named “Death.” Hula: The three wicked men had heard of this “Death” and how he had killed so many people: young, old, rich and poor. The three men vowed to find Death and murder him. The three men headed out in search of the elusive thief. They came upon an elderly man sitting on the side of the road. They approached him and rudely - 5 - asked, “How is it, that you are still alive?” Heideman: The elderly man politely responded, “I have asked to die, but so far I have been denied.” One of the wicked men asked, “Have you seen the mysterious thief, Death?” The elderly man replied, “Yes, he is up the road a bit, under an old oak tree.” Hula: The three men rushed up the road in search of the oak tree.

  • What Kind of Ruler Was Oliver Cromwell? > Key People & Events
    Civil War > What kind of ruler was Oliver Cromwell? > Key people & events What kind of ruler was Oliver Cromwell? Key people & events Key dates December 1653 Cromwell became Lord Protector. He ruled with the Council of State, advisers chosen by him. September 1654 Cromwell’s first Parliament met. MPs were forced to swear loyalty to him or resign. At the same time Cromwell made great efforts to achieve what he called ‘healing and settlement’. This meant fair and efficient government for all. November 1654 Cromwell introduced excise (a tax on all goods bought and sold). This was not approved by Parliament. January 1655 Cromwell dismissed his first Parliament and ruled without Parliament. August 1655 Cromwell put Britain under military rule. He appointed eleven Major Generals to rule the country. This approach was unsuccessful and unpopular. September 1656 The Second Protectorate Parliament met, but only after 100 MPs opposed to Cromwell were banned. January 1657 Cromwell agreed to end the system of Major Generals. March 1657 MPs came up with a new system for government in the ‘Humble Petition and Advice’. Many MPs, and Cromwell’s supporters, urged him to make himself king. Cromwell refused the crown, but was confirmed as Lord Protector. February 1658 Cromwell dismissed Parliament after more disputes with MPs. September 1658 Cromwell died. His son Richard became Lord Protector, but was forced to retire in May 1659. 1660 No acceptable person could be found to take over as Lord Protector. Parliament invited Charles II (son of Charles I) back to restore the monarchy. This is known as ‘The Restoration’.

Case study 2: New government Even today many people are not aware that Britain was ever a republic. After Charles I was put to death in 1649, a monarch no longer led the country.

This is a report from a committee of MPs to Parliament. It explains their actions against the leaders of the Levellers. One of the men they arrested was John Lilburne, a key figure in the Leveller movement. What’s the background to this source? Before the war of the 1640s it was difficult and dangerous to come up with new ideas and try to publish them. However, during the Civil War censorship was not strongly enforced. Many political groups emerged with new ideas at this time. One of the most radical (extreme) groups was the Levellers.

  • Inscriptional Records of the Western Zhou
    INSCRIPTIONAL RECORDS OF THE WESTERN ZHOU Robert Eno Fall 2012 Note to Readers The translations in these pages cannot be considered scholarly. They were originally prepared in early 1988, under stringent time pressures, specifically for teaching use that term. Although I modified them sporadically between that time and 2012, my final year of teaching, their purpose as course materials, used in a week-long classroom exercise for undergraduate students in an early China history survey, did not warrant the type of robust academic apparatus that a scholarly edition would have required. Since no broad anthology of translations of bronze inscriptions was generally available, I have, since the late 1990s, made updated versions of this resource available online for use by teachers and students generally. As freely available materials, they may still be of use. However, as specialists have been aware all along, there are many imperfections in these translations, and I want to make sure that readers are aware that there is now a scholarly alternative, published last month: A Source Book of Ancient Chinese Bronze Inscriptions, edited by Constance Cook and Paul Goldin (Berkeley: Society for the Study of Early China, 2016). The “Source Book” includes translations of over one hundred inscriptions, prepared by ten contributors. I have chosen not to revise the materials here in light of this new resource, even in the case of a few items in the “Source Book” that were contributed by me, because a piecemeal revision seemed unhelpful, and I am now too distant from research on Western Zhou bronzes to undertake a more extensive one.

Follow the exemplary life of our Lord Jesus Christ. He forgive His enemies even on the Cross as He said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. " (Luke 23:34). Similarly, Stephen also forgave those who stoned him to death as he said, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." (Acts 7:60). If you do not ask for and forgive the sins of your offenders, salva­ tion will elude you. If our Lord Jesus Christ did not forgive His enemies, He would not have risen.

  • His Royal Highness the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
    Speech By Dr Christian Rowan MEMBER FOR MOGGILL Record of Proceedings, 21 April 2021 MOTION OF CONDOLENCE His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh Dr ROWAN (Moggill—LNP) (12.01 pm): As the state member for Moggill and as a life member of the Australian Monarchist League it is an honour to rise in support of today’s motion and pay respects to a friend beloved by the people of Queensland as well as citizens across various state and territory jurisdictions of the Commonwealth of Australia and also many countries around the world. I wish to place on record my formal condolences to Her Majesty the Queen for the unimaginable grief that Her Majesty is enduring and for the sheer weight of the loss for both the Queen and her family—the loss of a husband, a father and a grandfather. For more than 73 years there have been countless stories that have been written and shared about Prince Philip. These stories have ultimately been stories of both love and sacrifice. There can be no doubt that there was an unwavering love and unbreakable bond between Prince Philip and Her Majesty the Queen. For almost 74 years Prince Philip had been the Queen’s constant companion and, in her own words, her strength and stay. With Her Majesty’s coronation in 1952, Prince Philip also eventually became the longest serving consort of a reigning British monarch. Their marriage has been a true embodiment of partnership, companionship, loyalty and support. Always by Her Majesty’s side, Prince Philip never sought or permitted his own position or voice to dominate that of the Queen such was the ultimate love and respect he had for the monarchy, the associated royal institution and Her Majesty.

  • Contextual Information Timelines and Family Trees Tudors to Windsors: British Royal Portraits 16 March – 14 July 2019
    16 March — 14 July 2019 British Royal Portraits Exhibition organised by the National Portrait Gallery, London Contextual Information Timelines and Family Trees Tudors to Windsors: British Royal Portraits 16 March – 14 July 2019 Tudors to Windsors traces the history of the British monarchy through the outstanding collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London. This exhibition highlights major events in British (and world) history from the sixteenth century to the present, examining the ways in which royal portraits were impacted by both the personalities of individual monarchs and wider historical change. Presenting some of the most significant royal portraits, the exhibition will explore five royal dynasties: the Tudors, the Stuarts, the Georgians, the Victorians and the Windsors shedding light on key figures and important historical moments. This exhibition also offers insight into the development of British art including works by the most important artists to have worked in Britain, from Sir Peter Lely and Sir Godfrey Kneller to Cecil Beaton and Annie Leibovitz. 2 UK WORLDWIDE 1485 Henry Tudor defeats Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, becoming King Henry VII The Tudors and founding the Tudor dynasty 1492 An expedition led by Italian explorer Christopher Columbus encounters the Americas 1509 while searching for a Western passage to Asia Henry VII dies and is succeeded Introduction by King Henry VIII 1510 The Inca abandon the settlement of Machu Picchu in modern day Peru Between 1485 and 1603, England was ruled by 1517 Martin Luther nails his 95 theses to the five Tudor monarchs.

  • Literature Review the Outline of My Research Topic Will Encompass
    Literature Review The outline of my research topic will encompass Anne of Denmark’s role as queen consort in Scotland and England, from 1589 to 1619, in order to investigate her political influence. To fully understand Anna’s political role, recent historiography surrounding influential women in early modern England and, in particular, the role of the queen consort will be evaluated in depth. My research will contribute to these two growing fields and fill a gap by re-examining Anna, who historians once considered frivolous and vain. Accompanied by re-definitions of high politics at one end of the spectrum and court masques at the other, a re-assessment of her character throughout her reign as queen consort of Scotland and England is accordingly needed. The value of analysing Anna in a political light will be demonstrated in this essay through an examination of the historiography surrounding influential women in early modern England, queen consorts in general and then Anna herself. Previous study has excluded women from high politics because it was considered part of the public sphere, rather than the private sphere that they belonged to. In her article ‘Women and Politics in Early Tudor England’, Harris challenges the traditional view of high politics by emphasising its redefinition to include the influence of women.1 Sara Mendelson and Patricia Crawford’s book, Women in Early Modern England, echoes this view. Although women exercised some influence in high politics, this is not 1 B. Harris., ‘Women and Politics in Early Tudor England’, The Historical Journal, 33:2 (1990), pp.259-281, p.259.
