Edward The Elder Research Paper

However, Alfred was not content with being on the defensive. He also attacked the Danish-held City of London in an attempt to diminish the lands ruled under Dane law (Bruce 4). No Anglo-Saxon king was ever strong enough to coerce a recalcitrant peasantry. Except Alfred who decided to allow half the men liable for service to remain at home while the other half was out against the Danes (Stenton 261).

When Edward came into power in 1042, England was in a poor state financially and also because of threats of an invasion and this made the first few years of his rule difficult. Edward was faced with many problems which he had to overcome. These problems involved; powerful Earls, (especially the Godwine’s), the foreign policy and the domestic policy. Edward both failed and succeeded in these problems due to a number of factors. These include a lack of knowledge about his kingdom and some may argue that he was naïve in his decisions. With some evaluation, we will be able to judge if Edward was a successful King or not.

The intellectual elements of 1815-1848 really revolutionized transportation and communication. The creation of roads really helped to dramatically cut travel time. These roads brought together the major urban areas that are located along the eastern seaboard (Keene, 263). What came next was even more measureable than the network of roads. The invention of the steamboat proved to be an economic blessing to river cities such as New Orleans (Keene, 264). It greatly changed the idea of upriver travel. The steamboat reduced the journey from New Orleans to Louisville to about a week. Canals also proved to make transporting goods even cheaper and faster. The largest undertaking to build a canal was proposed by the governor of New York. This canal

In January of 1945 a group of US pow’s (prisoners of war) were trapped by the Nazi’s in Stalag IXA POW camp near Ziegenhain Germany. Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds had a gun held to his because he did not turn over his Jewish American soldiers. Instead the whole group of over 1,000 POWs was standing in unity and going against orders. The Nazi threatened to shoot Edmonds, but he calmly responded that giving over the religion of his soldier is against the Geneva Convention. Edmonds continued on to say that if he was shot all of his soldiers must be shot and then the Nazi’s doing so would be put on trial after the war and would face fatal consequences. By doing this brave action Edmonds saved over 200 Jewish soldier who would have fallen under the

Edward Mandell House at first/before other things happened) "Huis" which became "House") was born July 26, 1858 in Houston, Texas, the last of seven children.

As I was reading James Eunice’s biography tonight, it struck me with a feeling of despair, but, also, with a desire to spread the gospel. Throughout our lives, there are many moments that we just let pass by, not sharing God’s word with those which do not know him and later feeling regret for our actions. While this is accurate for a lot of people, from what I have read and heard about James, he was beyond doubt a remarkable young man because he shared God’s word every day with anyone who would listen. If everyone was like James and loved people, life, and God just as much as he did, I believe the world would be a way better place. So, from this moment on, I am going to make it a point to try and be just as remarkable as he was and share God’s kindness, love, and forgiveness with everyone that I meet.

Together with her husband, they took land from the Danes (Johnson, Web). They also destroyed the Norse army which attempted to take the city of Chester in 905 (East of England Broadband Network, Web). After her husband fell ill and died in 911, she formed an alliance with her brother, King Edward the Elder (Sawyer 69). The siblings worked together and were said to be of equal status (Malsmebury 123). Thereafter, she raided Danish East Angelia and brought back the body of St. Oswald (East of England Broadband Network, Web). Over the following years, the alliance between the brother and sister continued to drive the Danes out of central and southern England. She engaged them in Wales in 916 and 917, after the murder of an Abbot and his companions. Then, she moved north to Derby and Leicester, successfully sieging the towns. By late 918, Aethelflaed had reached the River Humber, and had managed to persuade the city of York to form an alliance with her (Johnson,

Edward Teller was born to Jewish parents Max and Ilona Teller January 15, 1908 in Budapest, Hungary. The Tellers were an upper middle class family due to Edward's father being a lawyer. The tellers also had a daughter Emmi who was twenty months older than Edward. Until Edward was four he showed few signs of being exceptionally intelligent in fact there was concern that he may lack even normal intelligence. At four however Edward began to speak in full sentences and show great promise. By age six he was laying in bed at night and work multiplication problems. He soon also showed great promise as a pianist, something he would enjoy throughout his lifetime.

His father planned to conquer all of England; however, he shortly died after, leaving all of his army under Cnut’s control. Having to be a leader at a young age, Cnut became experienced and educated. As time went by however, their army was expelled by King Aethelred. Later on, Aethelred’s successor, Edmund, created a treaty with Cnut, but he died shortly after. It was this time that Cnut found himself as the first king of England during the beginning of Anglo-Saxon time period. He slowly gained fame and was recognized by many because of his powers and legacy for “no English king ever had such wide-ranging authority. For he was at once the lord of all Denmark, of all England, of all Norway, and also of Sweden” (_____). This was the first time that England was under control by one King. With such a large of land under his command, it is a surprise that he could reign all of it flawlessly. However, it also proves how powerful his army is, for invasions are useless against him since he stationed his men at strategic locations. He managed to protect his people for many years and, as a result, their communities were able to flourish. Many have also claimed that he was so great that he could command the tides of the sea to go back. Even though this is exaggerated in order to make him seem more powerful, it makes people wonder how strong he was to be appraised to that level. King Cnut was also

The Norman invasion of England in 1066 stands out in British history as the last time the isle was successfully invaded (Kramer.34). The invasion followed as a result of the death of the English king, Edward the Confessor, as he died childless on January the 4. 1066 (Barlett). The throne was left vacant and consequently three most mighty men disputed the line of succession: Harland Goodwinson, the head of one of the most notable and powerful noble families in the whole of England, Harald Hardrada, king of Norway, and William, Duke of Normandy (Wold.5).

The process of Christianization and Latin influx was interrupted at the end of the eight century (787) when the Vikings (Norwegian and Dane tribes) began their ravages over Anglo-Saxon England, sacking monasteries like Lindisfarne and Jarrow (793-794). By the ninth century, churches and monasteries in Northumbria and Mercia lay in ruins while settlements in all parts of the country had been plundered and northern towns, such as York in 867, captured. Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were finally overturned while the Vikings established their own kingdom in the northeast of England (the Danelaw). Under King Alfred’s rule of Wessex (871-899) and despite several conflicts, the Danish were contained in such area. In turn, the Danish king had to convert to Christianism, although the ‘moral fibre of the church’ was seriously disrupted (Baugh (2005:79). Then Alfred’s descendants, Edward the Elder (900-925) and Athelstan (925-939), extended their authority throughout England –Athelstan’s triumph in 937 in Brunanburh was crucial, which is recorded in an Old English poem with the same name. However, invasions were repeated at the end of the tenth century along the southeast coast, led by the Norwegian and Danish kings, Olaf and Svein respectively, who attacked London. Svein made himself king, sending the English king Æthelred the Unready into exile in Normandy. England was hence ruled by Danish kings from 1014 to 1017, when the Danish
