King Joffrey Alternate Ending

“Do you swear to protect the all the seven kingdoms justly and fair?” the high priest asked the future king. “I---I pro” before he could finish the grand doors burst open revealing King Joffrey alive and well. He turned around to see his older brother walking smugly towards the altar. “Jof-fery hhhow yyouu” stammering over his words wide eyed. “Hi therreeeee” he said slowly dragging out his words,smiling. “Long Hail the King” the priest called out loudly to the court as Joffrey walked to the iron throne. “Long Hail the King, Long hail the king” the people whispered lowly glancing at one another. He turned toward his people smirking as each of them cowered in fear of him. ‘Good’ he thought leaning back on the throne. The doors

    Maude Roll: Lancastrian King Henry V

    Legitimacy is the key to a successful kingship. If you can be perceived as an effective and legitimate ruler by the nobility, you will remain in power. This was especially important in the early period of the reign of Edward IV because the son of Henry VI, Edward of Westminster, was still alive until he was killed at the Battle of Tewkesbury on 4th May 1471. If Edward IV not establish the legitimacy in the minds of the nobles, then they could easily justify overthrowing the usurper because the son of the rightful king, Edward of Westminster, was still alive. Our extract shows us this attempt to legitimise Edward IV by delegitimising the overthrow of Richard II by saying that Henry IV took the throne through illegal…

    What Was Henry Viii's Rule

    The successes of Henry VIII can be seen in his ability to keep and gain power and the force of his military efforts.To determine if Henry’s rule was a success, we must define what success means in the context of a ruler. This argument identifies the goals set forth by Henry, and his ability to achieve these goals. It’s also worthwhile to note the state and legacy that his rule left upon England. The reasons we can call Henry VIII’s reign a success will be laid out in his personal, political, religious and military accomplishments while on the throne. Henry’s reign can be defined by his ability to indulge in his desires. Whether that was to take and hold power, spend money on luxuries and war, or to consume more food in his later years. He had a number of personal desires beyond living a life of luxury, namely to have an male heir to the throne. Despite troubling history of marriage, he was successful in not only producing one heir, but three: Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I.Henry was successful in using fear to make those seeking to undermine think…

    King Martin's Chivalry In Oedipus The King

    In a world where the approaching winter will last for 40 years, kings, queens, knights and vagabonds struggle for control of the Iron Throne. Some fight with sword and axe, some with magic and poison. To the north, however, beyond the Wall, the Others are preparing their army of the dead to march southward as the warmth of summer is drained from the land. This book stands out by way of its superbly developed characters and adroit prose. Chivalry is a concept integral to the society of the Seven Kingdoms, with tourneys and knights in shining armor galore. These trappings, however, merely give cover to dangerous men and women who will stop at nothing to accomplish their goals. When Lord Neddard Stark of Winterfell, an honest man and perhaps the only good-hearted creature in the noble caucus, comes south to act as the King’s chief…

    Summary: A Game Of Thrones

    Henry David Thoreau, a philosopher from the nineteenth century, wrote about the contradictory relationship between citizens who behave morally and governments who rule immorally. In his speech, Civil Disobedience, he stated, “Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison” to convey that governments, rather than individuals, decide whether behavior is lawful or punishable (para. 22). This statement expresses that people should evaluate someone’s imprisonment in the context of their government’s rules without making the assumption that all prisoners are convicted based on universal and justified standards. In George RR Martin’s novel, A Game of Thrones, familial line, rather than a democratic…

    Game Of Thrones Themes

    Along with its fantasy world, Game of Thrones series have consistently depicted real life themes and characters. Ultimately, Game of Thrones can be claimed as a series based on real world drama illustrated in a fantasy world. In the present world, “we all have knowledge, love/hate, scheming politics, sex, isolation.” (Game of Thrones - Interview with George R.R. Martin). Similarly, Game of Thrones’ storylines revolves around these themes, in order to generate a world similar to ours. For instance, the title of the show Game of Thrones, can be regarded as a metaphor of devious politician. It is reasonably straightforward that this “show is a perfect metaphor for scorched-earth style of politics in a deeply divided red state/blue state America.”…

    Richard

    Edward IV, king of England, died suddenly and prematurely at Windsor castle – perhaps from a stroke, or peritonitis or even a chill caught while on a fishing trip – in April 1483 aged only 40 years. He had enjoyed a relatively successful reign, by the standards of the day, restoring peace after the disordered period of Lancastrian rule and providing his subjects with some much needed stability. Edward IV had been a strong king after 1471, able to control the rival noble factions, but his death opened up a destructive, disastrous Yorkist family feud. The throne should have passed smoothly to his son; Edward V. This however didn’t happen due to his brother, Richard duke of Gloucester wanting the power; Edward changed his will on his death bed so his wishes weren’t clear; his marriage to Elizabeth Woodville. On his death a bitter family feud was started.…

    rhetorical analysis

    The purpose of Queen Elizabeth’s speech at the Tilbury was to persuade her troops to believe in her and to be loyal to her. At the beginning of the speech, she addresses her troops as “my loving people”, already showing her credibility as a loving ruler. She then goes on stating that she would never dishonor her troops and that she has always done the best she could for them. In the middle of her speech she states she would “live or die, lay down for my God and for my kingdom and my people”. By using parallelism and the appeal of pathos to make her troops feel love, she shows how loyal she is and she would do absolutely anything and everything for them. Queen Elizabeth also states how mentally strong and capable she is of ruling her kingdom and people by comparing her weakness as a woman to her “heart of a king”. Towards the end of her speech, she talks about how her kingdom is so brave and vigorous, that she dares anyone to invade her “realm”, and for anyone who is idiotic enough to try she herself “will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder”. She again uses the appeal of pathos by calling her troops “noble” and “worthy”, buy saying this she makes them feel important valued. She then assures her troops that they will soon have a victory over their enemies if they obey the general, concord in the camp, and have courage in the field. She ends her speech by saying “we shall have victory if we honor my God, of my kingdom, and of my people”…

    The Tudor Dynasty: The Reigns Of The Tudor Dynasty

    The Tudor dynasty experienced differing uncertainties throughout their reigns on the throne of England. From politics and war overseas, to succession difficulties. Each Monarch throughout early modern England faced conflicting challenges and hardships, nevertheless Henry VIII stands out among them all. Henry’s turbulent years on the throne presents an evolution throughout English society, culture, religion and politics, to name a few. Henry was not expected to become King, being only the third child of Henry VII, himself also an unexpected King, winning his throne on the battle field against Richard III in 1485. His early youth was not that of the first in line to the throne, due to the unexpected death of this elder brother Arthur, Henry…

    Martin Luther King

    King was patient and understanding to the views of the clergymen. He seeks common ground throughout the letter bringing up points they made and politely arguing them and creating an answer for the possible counter-argument. For example, he points out the clergymen’s claim, "You express a great deal of anxiety over our willingness to break laws." This then leads him into a discussion about morals and the types of laws: "just and unjust." By logically breaking down the types of laws and using reason to portray situations when laws can and should be broken, King is essentially guiding the audience through his explanation.…

    King Henry's Speech

    Through the new King Henry V’s speech to his brothers after their father’s death Shakespeare deals with the realities of succession, the difficult negotiation between governmental stability and a confused power struggle, and the death of a king while trying to keep his character true to their personality. This speech touches on everything from politeness and external observation, to the fear that naturally comes in a shift of power, to different kinds of mourning.…

    Discuss How Shakespeare Presents Henry and Explores Renaissance Idea Concerning Kingship and Society

    In “Henry V” Shakespeare presents a figure that symbolises the ideal monarch as expressed by writers like Bodin and Erasmus. In a renaissance society it is believed that each king is appointed king by God, through divine right, and so the king has absolute authority to be God’s power on earth. However Henry harbours doubts over his right to be king for he is the son of the usurper of the crown. This presents the idea of a ‘twice born’ king as Henry publicly appears confident in his rule and private insecure in his right. As Edward Plowden writes, “A king has in him two bodies…a body natural and a body politic.” Henry’s political side understands the importance of his role as king, despite any doubts he has, which is why his speeches and actions at Agincourt show an awareness of the importance of social cohesion, as he tries to make the men forget their fears and social boundaries to fight for England.…
