Edward IV died in 1483 and his son, Edward V, was the designated heir. Richard was named protector by Edward IV before he died but this did not sit well with the Queen whom, with the help of her supporters, removed Richard from this position of power.

The strengths' pioneer against Henry was driven by his brother by marriage Simon de Montfort, sixth Earl of Leicester, who was hitched to Henry's sister Eleanor. de Montfort needed to reassert the Magna Carta and power the ruler to surrender more energy to the nobleman's committee. In 1264 at the Battle of Lewes, Henry and his child, the future King Edward I, were crushed and caught. Henry was compelled to summon a parliament and to guarantee to run with the exhortation of a gathering of nobles. Henry was lessened to a nonentity lord, and de Montfort expanded parliamentary representation to incorporate gatherings past the respectability, individuals from every area of England and numerous imperative towns. After fifteen months, Edward drove the royalists into fight once more, vanquishing and killing de Montfort at the Battle of Evesham in 1265. At last, power was restored to King Henry III and extreme requital was claimed on the insubordinate nobles.

Cromwell was born during the tail end of the Elizabeth’s reign. With the reestablishment of Protestantism, the disarmament of the nobility, avoidance of religious wars, and no danger of a feudal revolt, England was poised in an unusual period of peace. The English victory over the formidable Spanish Armada had secured the nation’s independence and simultaneously removed any fears about radical anti-Catholic Puritan revolt. However, troubles brewed on the horizon. Britain’s citizens were exhausted from their lengthy war with Spain and there had been a string of poor harvests and famine. So while theirs was a time of diplomatic peace, English men were getting desperate and increasingly uncertain as Elizabeth’s death approached. All of the tension culminated in the Earl of Essex’s revolt in 1601. With the revolt easily crushed by royal forces,

Henry was furious and turned on his long-time friend and adviser, Cromwell. It was alleged that Cromwell had kept Anne’s true appetence from the king in fear of discouraging the union. Cromwell’s enemies of court encouraged the king to think his minister had betrayed him while trying to further his own influence over the realm and the king. Cromwell was arrested on 10 June 1540 and executed for treason on 28 July, still protesting his innocence to his master. This is evident in his final letter to Henry, begging his mercy. “…Written at the Tower this Wednesday, the last of June, with the heavy hard and trembling hand of Your Highness’ most heavy and most miserable prisoner and poor slave.

Gaunt was able to keep the peace between the factions until, in July 1386, he left England to pursue his own dynastic ambitions in Castile, Spain. By leaving Gaunt left Richard at the mercy of his enemies, who instigated Parliament to impeach his chancellor, Michael de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk, and created an eleven man commission to oversee the king's activities for a year. When Richard declared these measures treasonable violations of the royal prerogative, his opponents retaliated by having the Parliament of 1388 outlaw his closest friends, some of whom were executed. The defenseless king submitted to the five principal opposition leaders, the appellants, until May of 1389. In May he announced his intention to rule as an independent monarch of full age.
