Florence was born in January of 1896 in the slums of Washington, DC. As the daughter of ex-slaves, she had it rough, but this girl had an ability that would soon show. She won a talent contest at age four, and by age seven she had made her professional debut. Two years later, she joined a vaudeville touring company. Since she was too young to do this, it was not very long before she was arrested and put into an institution.
Born on May 4, 1843, she was raised just like any other southern lady. She was the daughter of a merchant and grew up in Martinsburg, West Virginia with her parents, Benjamin Reed Boyd and Mary Rebecca Glenn, three brothers, one sister, and grandmother. She went by the name Belle Boyd instead of her original name, Maria Isabella Boyd. Boyd attended Mount Washington Female College of Baltimore from age 12 to 16 after receiving a preliminary education. People knew her to be a fun-loving debutante. Her low voice was charming and her figure, flawless. Her irregular features rendered her either completely plain or extremely beautiful.
The causes of the two rebellions and the threats they pose are a response to the failure of the Lord Protector to rule as an effective leader. However, it is not to be said that is it entirely his fault since many of the problems he or Edward VI had inherited. Though some were simply out of his control like bad harvest other were worsened by his judgements such as the continuation of the war and debasing of the coinage.
Although they had much in common in terms of speaking they had even more differences. For example: King tried to motivate people, tried to make them feel good about equality. While Edwards hammered at his congregation using guilt and fear to get them to accept the Lord. Edwards portrayed God as being a less compassionate God than most people picture him as. "God has so many different, unsearchable ways of taking wicked men out of the world and sending them to hell...""...natural men are held in the hand of God, over the pit of hell..." are vivid examples Edwards used to scare his congregation. Edwards described man as loathsome weak people and they owed a great deal of reverence to God. Edward's opinions about man were so straight forward and strong that he even included mere children in his views of pathetic and evil man: "...the foolish children of men do miserably delude themselves in their own schemes and in their confidence and in their own strength and wisdom.
Possibly the first crime that Edward committed was killing his older brother. This has significance on the psychological level because Edward’s older brother began to disagree with their mother’s world perspective and I believe this was the motivation for this crime. He loved his mother very much possibly to the point of Parent-Child Relational Problems and could not handle that his brother began to discredit her. Edward was not charged with killing his brother because they were burning a marsh and it was determined to be asphyxiation from the fire. It is suspicious because his brother was not in an area that was burned and his body was found with bruises.
Just like his Cancer his guilt spread, and so he breached the topic of his guilt only during his final moment.Even before Edward had cancer he wasn’t close to William for example, At William’s birth, his father wasn’t there.This is a symbol of how he would be throughout his son’s life “On the day I was born, my father stopped mowing the lawn and listened to the announcer's voice on the radio… my mother screamed, my father screamed. On the day I was born, they won” (119). “[My mother] calmly gathered her hospital things” (119).
American socialite Wallis Simpson, the “Woman” if she was even a woman, king Edward Viii gave up his throne for, there is a lot of speculation about this illicit relationship, Why was Edward so attracted to Wallis, she was neither young nor beautiful, she was square-jawed and masculine, her voice was “scratchy” she often sounded like she had a cheese grater in her throat when she spoke, so why did Edward abdicate the throne for her? What was so great about Wallis Simpson and was Edwards “love” for her “love” or just obsession, did Edward just thrive on being controlled and manipulated and treated as a child? Did Edward corner Wallis into getting married; did she feel obliged after what she put everyone through? Did she want to get out of her suicidal lover's obsessive clutches, Or did Wallis love the power, Jewellery, attention, money and control she could have over the king of England, The most powerful man in Britain at that time, we can’t know exactly what really happened or the type of relationship they had so we just speculate. We will examine what would later be called the abdication crisis and determine our own opinion of the rumours surrounding Wallis Simpson.
In this paragraph King George's family and childhood will be explained. He was the oldest out of 12 siblings. Since he was the oldest he became king at age 11. The king was shy, lazy ,and blushed easily. His father died when he was 11 and his mom died 2 days after he was born so when he was 12 he lived with his grandma. King George the 3rd was the first one to be born in England and speak English. Once after being yelled at by one of
Edward is different in every way, both physically and mentally. Edward is a creation of whom his inventor died, leaving Edward incomplete and living in a dark, creepy and unwelcome looking mansion on top of a mountain away from suburbia. No one had ventured there until Peg spotted the mansion from
During the time of the abdication crisis, the Daily Mirror strongly supported Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson when others did not. Their abilities to display the normality of Edward VIII, put the reader in the shoes of Wallis Simpson, and present an image of a perfect family all appealed to the readers. Through these writings the English public was able to understand the abdication crisis for what it really was, an overreaction by the English hierarchy.
As various rumours began circulating about Simpson in society, Edward’s ministers including his family became sceptical about Simpson’s suitability as a queen. Edward’s mother, the dowager Queen Mary, was informed that Simpson had a sexual control over Edward, and that she had relieved him of a sexual dysfunction through methods she learnt in a Chinese brothel. Dr. Alan Campbell Don, Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury, supported this theory and wrote that Edward “is sexually abnormal, which may account for the hold Simpson has over him.” Further, Edward’s official biographer, Phillip Ziegler, concluded: “There must have been some sort of sadomasochistic relationship, where Edward relished the contempt and bullying she bestowed on him.” The allegations regarding Simpson’s background and behaviour raised alarm bells in the
As a result of all these points, I thoroughly believe that Edward is more ‘human’ than the rest of cast due to his lack selfishness and unwillingness to betray or hurt anyone unless it is completely

Edward II was king of England, and reigned from 1307 to 1327, as a prince he had developed a close, possibly homosexual, relationship with a base commoner of very low social standing named Piers de Gaveston. The young prince’s father Edward I, also known as Edward the Longshanks due to the length of his legs, disapproved of the developing relationship and had Gaveston banished from the kingdom. Partly due to this and also due to differences in personality between the two men, the relationship between father and son was relatively hostile. The young prince had little respect for his father or his father’s wishes, illustrated by his act of immediately repealing of Gaveston’s banishment upon his father’s death,
At the time of her birth, no one ever thought that Elizabeth would become queen of Great Britain. Elizabeth only got to enjoy the first ten years of her life with all the freedoms of being a royal without the pressures of being the heir apparent. She often took dancing and singing lessons. Her life took a major spin with the death of her grandfather, King George V. Her uncle became King Edward VIII, but he only ruled for about six months because he chose love over power. Edward appointed Elizabeth's father, Prince Albert, to become King. Soon the outbr...
