In his article, “The kingless kingdom: the Scottish guardianship of 1286-1306,” Norman Reid argues that Scotland remained strong in the face of difficult times without a king by introducing the community of the realm. He states throughout that this guardianship was effective in governing Scotland and upheld the dignity of the kingdom. This essay will summarise and evaluate his case arguing that it is clear, well evidenced and, therefore, convincing. Reid begins by setting out his points of discussion in the article, indicating that it will only focus on certain periods of time. This will be between the death of Alexander III in 1286 to Edward
This is how they interpreted ways of gaining order. And here I will compare and contrast these two kings who have different ideas on kingship and limitless powers, their way of thinking about maintaining order and how to preserve it in the society they rule, and their perspectives of what lead to disorder and chaos. King James VI and I in the article A Speech to the Lords and Commons of the Parliament at White-Hall (1610), mentions that monarchy is one of the most essential features of live. He argues that having the absolute monarchy is a way to keep the king’s control over people.
How successful was James VI & I in dealing with the problems of multiple kingdoms? The success of James VI & I in the governing of the three kingdoms is a key point in historiographic debate. Whilst there are elements of James’s methods, in terms of dealing with the problems which arose due to the vast differences of the multiple kingdoms, which could have been more successful; overall the post-revisionist view of James’s success seems to present the most convincing argument. Success must be seen within the context of the time, without allowing the benefit of hindsight and the events which were to follow to paint an untrue portrait of James’s leadership.
In his letter, King defines a just law in his own words. According
Ethos helps the speaker keep up with his standing as a dependable nonentity. Readers ought to comprehend that he is holding back nothing. King Jr. makes emotive requests to convey the critical predicament of basic liberties and cases that his restriction in Birmingham Prison proves his urgency. Equally, the ruler's utilization of logos supports the public authority's rebel character. In the letter, certain individuals need change and the people who go against it.
Kingship is an act of theater, requiring tailoring language, personality, and actions to the present situation. There need not be a deeper interior underneath. Having an interior self may detract from one’s ability to minimize personal values and desires and prioritize the kingdom’s
Looking at this letter from King’s time period, one may seem to not understand where King was coming from because the issue was still fresh, but today his letter has lots of
The English nobles taking a stand against King John was probably one of the most important event in European history. King John's unpopular method of rule led to a rebellion by the Barons. King John had no chance of winning and was threatened by the Barons, so he was reluctantly forced to sign a document called, The Magna Carta,” which limited the monarchy's powers and granted the nobles liberties. The Magna Carta is not only significant in the European countries. In fact, it inspired the American colonists to used the Magna Carta as a model when creating the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution.
Kingship was a respected political and social institution. If someone stole “a bull belonging to the king he shall be sentenced to [...] 90 shillings” which is twice the cost of stealing a bull from the average man. This rule shows that the king is more important than the average person because of his wealth and status. People paid the price for opposing the king and took his word as final. Counts and those in the service of the king are also important which suggests that royal power was projected beyond the king.
However, when it is practiced, it is unfair and not applicable to the situation anymore. King spent his life “expressing the very highest respect for the law.” Therefore, he had faith in the government and was hoping it could be just one
King James of England A king is a male ruler of and Independent state, especially one who inherits the positive by right of birth. The role of the king is to generally ruler over a kingdom. A king writes laws, signs documents and cares for a country. A very well know king that takes responsibility of a leader is King James of England.
If the ruler desires control or strength they might force the people below them to bow down to their ever will. If the ruler desires riches they might steal from the poor or up the price on an item to draw more out of someone who may not have much but needs that item. An example of someone who may do this is a king or a president. Someone with plenty of power to have away with this kind of stuff. In some cases, powerlessness can lead
It is clear that there is a prominent struggle in the balance of power between the monarch and the subject that is represented in the two early modern texts Edward II by the playwright Christopher Marlowe and the poem The dowbt of future foes exiles my present joye by Queen Elizabeth. Each monarch of each text is losing support from their once loyal followers and subjects by intertwining public responsibility and personal desire. In this essay I will use these texts to demonstrate each monarch’s power struggles as a result of their subjects. I will also use secondary sources of criticism to confirm the points that are made in this essay.
Although Hythloday’s scenario is hypothetical, it is still a valid representation of how private property is corrupting to an individual such as a King who puts himself above his subjects because he simply can because of his right to own private property such as a kingdom with a treasury. More continues on to state that in a kingdom where private property, the King, if he so desired, is able to take away all the property that lies under his kingdoms from his subjects (More 32). Although, there is private property primarily that belongs under subjects of kingdom, Hythloday points out that there is no private property at all unless you are a King. His point illustrates how King’s sovereignty of private property enables him to do as he pleases without having to worry about constraints and possible consequences thus illustrating that the realm of the propertied is not beneficial to one’s moral character. The leaders of Uptopia, the “tranibors”, have an open rule for making laws, and any private legislation is condemned (More 54).
