Monarch

is a monarch butterfly? Well to be exact, the monarch butterfly is one of the most highly recognizable butterflies in America. Their beauty is what captures the eyes of many. They fly throughout the American sky and are mainly spotted on flowers with their beautiful orange, black and white wings that they are strongly known for. Note that on the hind wings of the male Monarch there are two visible black spots and also the webbing within the wings are quite thin. When a female is spotted, the webbing is always very thick. These simple yet drastic differences make it easy to differentiate the two when curious. Even before the transition of becoming the black veined wonder, the striped black, white and yellow caterpillar is quite an attention getter. They are often found in your yard; being so incredibly gorgeous that you must take out your phone to Instagram the moment. On the cover of children’s books and also on television being advertised to where you can purchase them and allow them to grow right before your very own eyes. Indeed, it’d be quite fascinating to attend the process of metamorphosis at the comfort of your home!…

The statements of the nobility in 1760 and 1860, in supplications, reflect an overall shift in the way that the Russian public regarded the monarch. In 1760, the position of the monarch was regarded with a sense of superiority, where all respect was directed. The monarch’s power was unquestioned and their judgment was seen as most informed, only allocating indirect power to provincial personnel or hand selected advisors. In the 1860s, after the state building of Catherine the Great which further…

In the later portion of the 1600’s, the monarchical systems of both England and France were changing. England strayed away from an absolute monarch and ran toward a mightier parliament instead. The opposite was occurring in France as Louis XIV strengthened his own office while weakening the general assembly of France, the Estates General. Absolutism, the political situation in which a monarch controls makes all political, social, economic, and cultural decisions in a government without checks or…

out of parliament. (Duiker & Spielvogel, 2014) By allowing freedom of speech in parliament, parliament had more control and could say things against the king’s or queen’s doings. The bill of rights law, no taxes being raised without approval from parliament, also gave Parliament power. This law prevented the king or queen from unnecessary taxes and allowed parliament to be able to control taxes for ligament causes. England’s Bill of Rights also allowed frequent free elections of parliament; this…

Her Imperial Highness Catherine II was Russia’s longest reigning Empress, having risen from minor German nobility to ruler of the Russian Empire. Centuries after her eventful rule, Catherine II is commonly known as Catherine the Great. In Russia’s history, only three monarchs have been awarded this title; the most famous being Peter the Great, the father of Catherine’s predecessor, Empress Elizabeth. For Peter, being awarded the title of “Great” was based on his combat prowess combined with…

flat-out brilliant portrait of a monarchy in crisis, which blazed open on Sunday night at the Music Box Theater. Any echoes you may infer regarding a certain Danish prince are entirely appropriate to this dazzlingly presumptuous drama, set in and around Buckingham Palace in a highly foreseeable future. True, as a product of the 20th century, the newly anointed King Charles — whom you probably know better as the current Prince of Wales — would seem to have more in common with T S. Eliot’s…

Even though the Royal Council have given their word, they will uphold his majesty wishes, upon his passing. Nevertheless, the king knows how easy it is for a man to say what you want to hear when their sovereignty is standing in front of them; and how quickly that same man’s real motives are revealed, when they are no longer govern by fear of exposure for their deceit. A feeling, King David can relate to. For he have learned from personal experience, once a monarch dies, nothing is certain to…

Kings, Sovereigns, Monarchs, and Rulers. The way that they are seen in the eyes of the people are often conflicting. Some see them as gods on earth. Ohers see tyrants, wanting to control the country; men who rule with an iron fist. Are they meant to be leaders of a nation or mascots of mockery? That answer is dependent on whom you ask. Like King Henry V, I believe that he fits the definition of a good Christian king. King Henry V, for he led his people to the best of his abilities. He trusted in…

My birth name is Prince Albrecht III, but to avoid any further association with my father, I simply go by Brecht. Yes, King Brecht! That is a fitting name for a monarch, and it shall be mine very soon, but I must first determine how this assassination will take place. His guards will simply not allow it. Even with my noble blood, I am not allowed to bare weaponry within the same sector of the palace as my father. This means I must carry a knife! This will allow me to sneak up close to my father…

Prince Gabriel Wylie enters the assembly room, surrounded by members of his council, Kingsman, and family; draped in royal purple robes made from the finest silk and wool. The hall was a mixture of elegance and refinement, furnished in red and white linens with flowers and candles, a complete contrast to its appearance just a few hours prior. A long velvet mat parted the floor with nobles standing on the opposite sides of it. An older man with pure white hair, wearing religious robes, holding…
