Queen Cecily's Leadership Style

The forest had gone.... and the Witch looked much younger. Audette opened her eyes and had found herself upon a brow of white lilies. The shape of the shrouded old woman seemed changed. Having turned around, and opened her mantle to the tearing gusts, Meliza revealed to the young lady two streams of shinging blackness and smooth white flesh. Audette stopped in her tracks.

Back in the Middle Ages, rulers of many country were men and/or boys. For a women to be in power was usually a last resort. Elizabeth I fell under this situation and became the Queen of England. As people have regarded females, many disliked the idea of a women becoming the leader of England which has forced Elizabeth to use her power and authority to assert her position whereas people who have accepted Queen Elizabeth I has allowed her to act kind, sympathetic, and proud. Majority of the people during the time period were misogyny

"At the word witch, we imagine the horrible old crones from Macbeth. But the cruel trials witches suffered teach us the opposite. Many perished precisely because they were young and beautiful."

A Machiavellian ruler is ravenous, manipulative, ingenious, intriguing, and authoritative as described in Niccolo Machiavelli’s book, The Prince. Queen Elizabeth I of England is the daughter of Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII. Unfortunately, her mother was executed by King Henry VII; her father remarried numerously throughout her childhood causing distress and constant change. Throughout King Henry’s multiple marriages, Elizabeth acquired step siblings, Queen Mary I of England and King Edward VI of England; Mary also eventually succeeded the throne after Edward's death. As Mary ruled she developed a cancerous tumor, Mary held Elizabeth hostage in the Tower of London until she promised to keep Catholicism in England. However, Elizabeth neither agreed nor disagreed to keep England Roman Catholic when she was released from the Tower of London. After Mary’s death, Elizabeth emerged as the Protestant

The parliament had a secondary role of assistance to the queen such as advising. For instance, one could admire from document five, “Elizabeth’s Procession to Blackfriars.” Oil on Canvas, c. 1600 by Peake, Robert the Elder, how Elizabeth I was sitting on her litter and was on top of all the nobles and aristocrats of England. This portrait exemplifies how she had the absolute command and weakened the noble’s authority. Also, one could also evidence how her skin pigment in this oil on canvas was white and pure, this meant that she was trying to imitate the purity of the Virgin Mary. Compared to the others on the painting, this difference in skin make her look superior, flawless, and heavenly. Yet, another piece of evidence would be the first document, Queen Elizabeth’s Response to the Parliament’s Request that She Marry, this document proves the fact that she was in complete control of her future and she was not going to be governed by the parliament. For example, when she responds: “And in the end this shall be for me sufficient, that a marble stone shall declare that a Queen, having reigned such a time, lived and died a virgin. And here I end, and take your coming unto me in good part, and give unto you all eftsoons my hearty thanks, more yet for your zeal and good meaning than for your petition,” this act of rebellion was a blow to the parliament and by all means challenged their authority. By challenging their authority, Queen Elizabeth had acquired a new position of sovereignty and set the limitations of the

“I’ll get you my pretty! And your little dog too!” These are the famous words of one of the world’s most iconic villains, the Wicked Witch of the West, the antagonist of the classic film The Wizard of Oz. She appears to be the epitome of villainy: purely evil and selfish. There is no ambiguity in the Witch’s ruthless evil. Within the movie, she was stooped, green-skinned, and dressed entirely in black. In many people's minds, this representation of The Wicked Witch has become an archetype for human wickedness.

The human king sent his child of to the army, leaving him in the charge of the general of the king’s army. Both of the caretakers of the children were not kind to the babies. The witch had completed the first phase of her plan, what was left was the waiting game, she was sure the children would never return to their

In an expectedly cheeky piece for the Daily Mail, Piers Morgan outlines the Benefits of Monarchy. He writes, “They're non-political, unelected heads of state. Why is this good? Because it means they're never campaigning, never lobbying, never engaged in petty Washington squabbles, never forcing unpalatable policies down your throats.”

Castles are huge, they are the homes to many kings and lords. They are made of stone and are well fortified and protected against any attacks like sieges. Inside the castle there are many different rooms with different purposes. Three of the most important rooms in this castle that you would need to know about is the Great Hall, the Courtyard, and the Dungeon. These rooms all have a different purpose and different than all the other rooms in the castle.

To be an absolute monarch is to believe that a divine power has granted one the ability to rule them all. Charles, I ruled with a similar view to what gave him the right to act and rule in such a manner as he did. Charles, I reigned as though the people were but his subjects, and he was God. However Charles’ view of himself, his early reign was plagued with predestined horror, and his eventual implemented policies would rarely benefit anyone; at times, he himself received no advance from his primarily domestic policies. As a child whose father -- James Stuart -- himself obtained a disdain for the Parliament, Charles’ relationship with Parliament was predetermined quite before he began his reign.

To the young witch’s chagrin, the large windows had drapes covering them, but the heavy velvet curtains were needed to accommodate those sensitive to sunlight that dwelled inside the castle. As far as some of the castle’s occupants were concerned, the rays weren’t warm, cheery or welcome—they were deadly. Evie also wished that the stone floor was less uneven. It was difficult to remember where all the cracks, divots, and ridges were in such a vast place.

During the excitement, Henry, a twenty-one-year-old literature major snuck into the living room and sat on the opposite couch to begin writing in his journal. He is wearing navy trousers and a white dress shirt with brown dress shoes and his brown curls are laying as nicely as they can with one falling onto his forehead as he writes in his journal. Starhawk, a young witch whose specialty is herbal medicine sits next to Henry on the couch and watches his hand as he writes. She is wearing a black dress that shapes her body perfectly and falls just above the knees. Her long blonde hair has been slicked back into a ponytail and her gold heels shine in the evening sun sending a glare around the room as she swings her crossed

The interiors were elaborately decorated, with specially designed furniture and fittings; the designs include extensive use of symbolism drawing on classical and legendary themes. Joseph Mordaunt Crook wrote that the castle represented "the learned dream world of a great patron and his favourite architect, recreating from a heap of rubble a fairy-tale castle which seems almost to have materialised from the margins of a medieval

By the half-light of a suspensor lamp, dimmed and hanging near the floor, the awakened boy could see a bulky female shape at his door, standing one step ahead of his mother. The old woman was a witch shadow - hair like matted spiderwebs, hooded 'round darkness of features, eyes like glittering jewels.

Queen Elizabeths political and administrative leadership was highly commended, and most historians throughout history have agreed upon this, now historical fact. Although it was not an easy going experience for one of England's most excelling sovereigns. Throughout Elizabeth's political leadership, she encountered problems such as the Spanish Armarda, Rebellion from Ireland and Scotland and even assassination attempts that were authorised by Pope Pius V. However through all of this turmoil during her reign, Queen Elizabeth managed to survive with the help of her close Privy Council and take England through what would come to be known as a “Golden Era of England's history.” By William Camden.
