A
Coin to Defend the Crown
|
|
|
There
was a great rebellion in England from 1642 until 1649. During
that rebellion there was a siege at Newark-On-Trent that
lasted for one full year. As sieges do, there was great
suffering in the surrounding area, and also, money to be
made. Supplies were required and wages needed to be paid
and spent. read

Venice:
A Rival for Byzantium
|
|
|
While
most of Europe suffered great cultural and material setbacks
during the Middle Ages, the mercantile cities of Italy enjoyed
a renaissance unequalled elsewhere. Industrious seafarers,
merchants and bankers built a global trading and financing
network so powerful that individual families often had more
money than some small nations. This gold coin was struck
at Venice, one of the leading cities of Italy during the
17th Century A.D. read

Angel
Of Henry VII
|
|
|
Henry
VII was King of England from 1509 to 1547 and is most notable
for instigating the reformation of the English church in
order to secure a divorce from the first of his six wives.
Born at Greenwich on June 28, 1491, he was the second son
of Henry VII, founder of the Tudor Dynasty, and Elizabeth
of York. In 1521, Henry had written a treatise against Martin
Luther, for which Pope Leo X had awarded him the title "Defender
of the Faith." read

Henry
VII, Creator of British National Unity
|
|
|
Henry
VII, often called Henry Tudor, was King of England from
1485 until 1509. The first ruler of the house of Tudor,
his reign initiated a period of national unity. Henry, a
direct descendant of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, was
born on January 28, 1457. He became Head of the House of
Lancaster on the death of Henry VI in 1471. In 1483, taking
advantage of the indignation aroused against Edward's successor,
Richard III, Henry went to Wales, where, with his army of
supporters, he defeated Richard, and was subsequently crowned
Henry VII in London. read

King
Charles I of England
|
|
|
The
Bishops' wars, in English and Scottish history, resulted
from the attempt of King Charles I to impose the Anglican
Prayer Book and enforce rule by bishops in Scotland, the
population of which was predominantly Presbyterian. In 1638
the Scots vowed, in the national covenant, to restore Presbyterianism
and an Assembly of the Scottish Church formally ended rule
by bishops. read

Nicholas
II, Czar Of All The Russias
|
|
|
Nicholas
II was the son of Alexander III. Untrained in matters of
state, or politics, he followed the lead of his preceding
family. Nicholas continued the suppression of political
opposition and persecution of minorities. The time was ripe
for change in Russia. Basically a decent human being, Nicholas
did, however, believe in the divine rights of kings.

Genoa
Gold
|
|
|
Genoa's
history goes far back into ancient times. A city cemetery,
dating from the 4th century BC, testifies to the occupation
of the site by the Greeks, but the fine harbor probably
was in use much earlier. Destroyed by the Carthaginians
in 209 BC, the town was rebuilt by the Romans, and the city
enjoyed municipal rights and exported skins, wood, and honey.
Little is known of Genoese history from the fall of the
Roman Empire (476) until the 11th century, by which time
the city had become a Maritime republic governed by an oligarchy
of private merchants and bankers. read

George
II was King of Great Britain from 1727 until 1760, and also
Elector of Hannover from 1727 until 1760, and the son of

Hannover and he grew up a German prince. In 1705 he married

influence over her husband and thereby on government. Like
his father, george II was more interested in Hannover than
in Great Britain, and during his many absences from London
Caroline frequently acted as regent. read
