Scotland during the late 13th century and early 14th century was in relative shambles in regards to political and economic situations from degrading agency and relationship to England. The Scottish Kingdom caught up in a perilous situation after the succession crisis after King Alexander III died suddenly in 1286 without a proper heir. Alexander's children had predeceased him by his first wife and the only proper heir was the Margaret of Norway. Margaret of Norway was the daughter of Margaret of Scotland (Alex's daughter) who died beforehand married to Eric II of Norway that added to the complexity of the situation. The death of the Maid of Norway in September 1290 left no closely related bloodline in Alexander III family and opened the door …show more content…
When Robert the Bruce ascended the throne in 1306 the defiance and animosity toward the English became apparent with the battles and land claims. Bruce's ascension to the throne came at the murder John Comyn in Greyfriars Church, Dumfries in February 1306. This incident before his crowning in March which he was excommunicated by the Pope for the argument and killing of a Scottish noble in a church. The ascension of the throne came with a convoluted history of the Bruce family strong arm approaches to gain power and reputation against other tribes and the quest to rule the kingdom of Scotland. Sources under Robert the Bruce came to acknowledge the bias against William Wallace similar to how the English pinned him as a robber, ruffian, and cruel leader of Independence. This notion of the Bruce prejudices and censorship add to the negative perceptions toward the mythology of Scottish leaders and their control over literature at the time of their reign. A series of military victories between 1310 and 1314 won Bruce a majority of control over Scotland. The Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 against the Edward II English forces solidified his position as the rightful king of Scotland. The military victories fueled more intervention in other states on the British Isles with the boosted moral of the Scottish soldiers for independence from England and other monarchical
In the 1500’s St. Andrews was named by Spanish settlers as they explored the coast. Pirates also found that deep pockets were good spots to lie and wait for European ships on a route to Mexico or Spain. According to researchers an old Spanish galleon and a 700-pound cannon were found during the construction of a motel in the early 60’s, proving the presence of such pirates. This was the ‘opening the door to the possibility of pirate treasure!’ Sinking of modern day ships for artificial reefs, the Gulf of Mexico waters off the coast of the city of Panama City Beach are a diving spot for divers searching for this ‘treasure’ and some have even come up with different types of treasure.

Ian Mortimer uses his book The Time Traveler’s Guide to Medieval England: A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century to describe how one might live in the fourteenth century. This book covers a wide range of topics from what one might see and smell when approaching a city, to what one might wear, to how to stay alive. Mortimer’s clever use of a travel guide inspired book lends itself to a much wider audience. The evidence presented in this book is both engaging and intriguing, and provides easy reading for academics and non-academics both.
When Wallace returned to Scotland in December 1297 he was proclaimed guardian of the kingdom. When Wallace turned 27 his country lost their freedom. In France 1299 Wallace acted as a solitary guerrilla war leader in Scotland. The people were trying to find William Wallace did know where he was in 1300. The Scottish leaders turned to the English and recognized Edward as their king in 1304.
The Demonology of King James I paired with the influence of the protestant church created a huge wave of what was labeled as witchcraft craft in early Scotland.
Every nation is influenced from a source in some way shape or form. This is human nature, the trait is relevant and important in expanding and creating new ventures. For every cause, there is an effect. History is a great example of this, if one thing failed to occur history would be different as we know it. The proof is in the pudding when England and America are brought up in the same air. it is evident England was responsible for Americas solid foundation. We see this in the early stages of America, from the way they dressed all the way to language. Without this country, there would be no America.
The fight for independence was not simply to challenge Edward I’s overlordship of Scotland. After Balliol’s abdication of the crown in 1296 and his subsequent imprisonment, the country was left to the English administration. The Scot’s continued to fight against the English, however, they were not a united front. The circumstances of Balliol’s ascension to the crown in 1291 had created civil disputes in Scotland. The Great Cause of 1291 had seen seven families attempt to claim the throne. Edward I had been trusted by the Commons of Scotland to make the final decision. The Balliol’s and the Bruce’s had the best claims to the throne, with both families stemming from the daughters of the Earl of Huntingdon, brother of William I. In the end, Edward
There are many things that all occurred that had allowed for Edward I of England to achieve the overlordship of Scotland. From the controlling of Wales and Ireland, he eventually gained control of Man. The fact that the Church of Scotland was not completely recognised by the papacy meant that the kings of Scotland were not real kings in the eyes of Edward I. The surprise death of Alexander III, quickly followed by the death of the Maid of Norway led to a succession crisis and the potential for a civil war for the right to rule in Scotland.
Arthur was supposed to be the king so John captured him and held him prisoner as he was too dangerous for John’s power. In 1203 he was killed by him. Therefore, in 1204 , there was a rebellion led by king Philip of France against king John. He invaded Normandy , John’s attempts to re-conquer Normandy by imposing taxes on the barons to pay for his campaign. Barons and knights were angry because they had to pay taxes for wars John lost.
The theory/model I would choose is the Transtheoretical Model because this model is for behavior change and in this specific scenario “my friend” wants to stop smoking. In order for this individual to stop smoking completely, she has to go through several phases. There are six stages in the Transtheoretical Model, which are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination. She passed the precontemplation and contemplation phases because she is trying to stop smoking. Therefore, my job is to help her prepare to stop smoking. I would supply her with smoking patches, chewing gum, and everything she needs to stop smoking. Next, I would support her when she is in the action phase and I would make sure she is keeping
The war is over, the battle’s won! The rebels and their leader, Macdonwald, have been defeated by the mighty army of King Duncan! Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis, commanded the army and led it to victory against the opposing forces, although he was absent during the end of the battle.
The Christian religions rise to supremacy in the middle ages was the result of several factors. Christians had long been persecuted by the Roman Empire because the Romans felt that Christianity challenged and offended the Greco-Roman Gods and the Christians were prone to revolt against Roman rule. Christianity survived because it had many teachings that appealed to the downtrodden in Roman society, these teachings being that even though they were suffering they would gain equality and possibly superiority in the next life, Christianity gave them hope.
For the final part of the project, me and the other students, plus the teachers and aides met in the classroom on Monday morning to reflect on the project. During the final round table teachers expressed some concern with communication. I think they felt like it was difficult to communicate with us students since they did not have any contact information from us. A great suggestion was made during the meeting to make a google document that would include all of our contact information as well as updates and information about the all the children who the teachers were concerned about. I feel like this would be beneficial for both the students and the teachers in order to contact each other more easily and to get updates on the children efficiently. During the course of the semester, I felt like the students and the teachers were not on the same page due to the issues of contacting each other. For instance, when me and partner would get to the preschool we sometimes would be unable to fully observe or coach during our time due to other activities happening in the classroom. For example, one time me and my partner came and an employee from the public library was there for her weekly reading activity. I felt a little surprised by this novel situation, but my partner and I would try and adjust our plan to make it feasible to the new situation.
Communication is one of the crucial ways to send your message across or enhance your knowledge. And now we have several options available to us to get connected to this world and to know what is going on. And one of the most popular and common method to convey your message to an audience is advertisement. Advertising is a form of art that advertisers used to persuade a common mind and change the opinion of that person about particular product or to introduce him with a new product. As living this fast pace life when nobody can afford to spend their precious time to look for new trends and impressive innovation, but at the same time want to meet the standards of society by owning and acknowledging about these trends, then advertising is the most convenient way to seek information about anything new in market or new trends. This is the reason that ads are getting a huge amount of popularity in our society and they are everywhere, does not matter whether we are in a public place or at home, does not matter you are interested in these ads and message they are conveying you, there is always something or someone chasing us for giving unwanted suggestions or information. According to the corporation that sponsored these ads, they merely want people to now about their product that is better than the other one. But all these efforts and billions of dollars being spend just to communicate or giving a moment of think wisely? Do these advertisements are really not having
When one thinks of the word medieval, there appear to be almost an instantaneous reaction. Some may see the period associated with the gothic architecture, Crusades, brutalism, death, the Black Plague, illiteracy, or the Dark Ages. Others may interpret the period as one full of valiant knights, princesses waiting to be saved, jousting, castles, and noble kings and queens. From video games such as The Legend of Zelda and the popular HBO television series A Game of Thrones, to accounts of medieval torture or treatment in the newspapers, the Middle Ages seems to be more relevant than ever. However, it can be argued that much about what we know about the real Middle Ages was constructed in the nineteenth century due to a comparative lack of records and the imaginative portrayal of the period by the Victorians. Due to the tumultuous period that was the Industrial Revolution, many social critics and artists turned back to the Middle Ages in order to reflect their anxieties of the present and the hopes and expectations of the future. I began to note that the medievalist movement was built upon medieval studies through a desire to create, rather than retrieve the past, which in turn lead to academic debates about authenticity and furthered the tension between the two fields leading to an almost insurmountable break. Those in medieval studies look towards medievalism as a misguided attempt to contemplate history which in turn changed the public’s understanding towards the era away
