In England
kingdom has a long history. It started in 9th century by King
“Egbert” an Anglo-Saxon king. Once it had been absolute and powerful. England
has seen the absolute Prerogative and authoritative kings like Charles-II, , Charles-V, Charles-VI, Henry-I, Henry-IV, Henry-VII, and
Henry-VIII. But now-a-days it is said that king can do no wrong justifying his
limitations and authority. In 1215 an agreement “Magna Carta” was signed
between King John and Land-lords by which the power and authority of king was
lessened. Then in 1688 England faced a revolution which actually started the constitutional
kingdom in England. These days Queen Elizabeth of Windsor family is in the
palace who inaugurated London Olympics 2010 a few days ago. A lot of quotes are
about king in England eg:
The king can
do no wrong
The king is
dead, Long live the king
“Here lies a
great and mighty king,
Whose
promise none relies on,
Who never
said a foolish thing,
Nor ever did
a wise one”
