McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks left me mesmerized. When these sincere artists combined their vocal harmonies and surreal songwriting with their emotionally driven revelations of love, loss, heartbreak and turmoil, one of the ultimate classic albums emerged. If you are unfamiliar with the story, three relationships were falling apart during the making of this album. Mick Fleetwood was divorcing his wife; John and Christine McVie were divorcing. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were in

When one became the king he would inherit all of the riches and powers that come along with being the king. If he were to marry a woman then she would become part of the royal family, but not really be a ruler with
In London, William Blake portrays a very dark and abysmal picture of London. Throughout the whole poem, Blake never mentions a positive scene. The poem seems to deal with the lower class part of society, the part which lives in the poor neighborhoods. The first stanza begins with the speaker wandering around London. Throughout the poem, Blake repeats a word which he used in one line, in the next line. An example of this can be seen in the first two lines. He uses the word chartered in the first

Henry Stafford Duke of Buckingham was caught and executed by Richard. Richards usurpation of the throne was not the only
Thornbury Castle Thornbury Castle was built by a man called Edward Stafford the Duke of Buckingham and wasn't finished because he was be-headed in 1512 by Henry VIII. It has different features that could show that it was meant for defensive purposes or that it was built as a luxurious palace. The castle has a few arrow slits in the walls and grooves in the gateway, which show that there was intention for a portcullis's. There are also remains of soldiers barracks, which was slightly unusual
The Purpose of Thornbury Castle Thornbury castle Since Thornbury castle started being built in 1511 it has been in the centre of a debate with historians whether it is a castle built for defence or a luxurious palace for show.

The reason for the restoration was because following the execution of the Duke of Buckingham in 1521, the Castle experienced two centuries of decline.

preoccupations of the rebellions, sadly he went about it the wrong way. On the death of the king, Edward's eldest son, then only 12 years old, was proclaimed king as Edward V. It was due to this, with the aid of Henry Stafford, second duke of Buckingham, Richard seized custody of the young king and was able to assume the protectorship.
