henrys son was john and he tried to heavily tax everything and wanted to fight everyone. they tried to get him to sighn one of the greatest things ever. so people can hav rights. he was forced to sighn it. he agreed on not taking any special or new taxes without the concent of the great councel. and not to take property without paying for it. he promised not to delay, refuse, or sell justice. and for a person to be juried. if the king didnt obey these laws hed be thrown out as king.

henry the 2nd was henry the 1st son and williams grand child. henry wanted to change a few things about the church and his bestfirend thomas becket didnt lik the idea at all so he went down their and argued with him about it and made eachother very angry. well henry yelled out i wish he was dead. little did he know that his knights herd him and they fallowed him to his church and while he was praying at the altar on christmas eve the guards killed him

catholic church has lost sight of a spiritual misson. john is a monk and is a fundraiser. he goes and gets paid for people confessing their sins. church gets 100% profit. popes didnt set a good example of moral leadership. the preist engaged in miss conduct. the church became intrested in money more than people. no central government in germany wich ment no control over religouse ideas. tetzel began selling inulgences. martin luther was a monk (not the famouse black guy).he beleived in justification by faith. he writes the 95 theses and nails them to the church door in wittenburg. he gets band from the catholic church. luthor was summond to the imperial diet( meaning of the catholic church in worms). 
luthor is commanded to abanden his ideas. luthor translates the Bible into german. luthors works and ideas continue to spread. luthor establishes the 1st protistent church. the 1st denomination was luthorism.

Magnus Maximus

I was born to a poor Spanish family, in the province of Callaecia in north western Spain. After a military career, I came to serve under Theodosius the Elder in Britain in AD 369, and in Africa from AD 373 to 375.
My efforts were rewarded by being granted overall military command in Britain, where I successfully campaigned against the Picts and Scots. But the army was very disillusioned and dissatisfied with its emperor Gratian. In particular jealousies toward privileges awarded to barbarian units fighting for the empire ignited much ill-feeling with him.


Finally, in AD 383 it all boiled over and the garrison in Britain revolted and proclaimed me as the new Augustus of the west.At once i crossed the Channel with my troops taking Gratian by complete surprise. As Gratian marched his troops west to meet the me at Lutetia in battle. his troops simply deserted him and changed allegiance to me. If u ask me thats kinda sad. Gratian fled, but was caught up with by my 'Master of Horse' Andragathius who assassinated him.

I was a orthodox Catholic who, like Theodosius in the east, vehemently pursued and punished heretics and pagans. In AD 387 I elevated my infant son Flavius Victor to be co-Augustus.Then, in the summer of AD 387, I invaded Italy in a successful attempt to oust Valentinian II. The young emperor Valentinian II fled with his mother to Theodosius in Constantinople. But my attempt on increasing his realm of influence backfired. Theodosius was no longer tied up in trouble in the east anymore and stood ready to launch an attack on the usurper. 

In AD 388, while i stayed behind in Aquileia, Andragathius led his army against Theodosius, only to be defeated at Siscia.Thereafter his brother Marcellinus led the re-grouped army back into battle, but he too was defeated at Poetovio.

I was captured and pleaded for the victor to show mercy. Though Theodosius showed none and had me executed in AD 388. my son, Flavius Victor, was captured by Arbogast, Theodosius 'Master of Soldiers', and was also put to death.

my school

the country ive decided to do is Russia. russian children go to school between the ages of six and seven. they finish around the ages of 16 or 17. just like america they can fail and hav to take the classes over again next year if they dont make good grades. school years are devided into three sub schools. Primary, secondary, and high.  primary is 4 years, secondary is 5 years,and  high is 2 years. they have four terms also like america. There are 2 K-12 schools in Russia, OH, including 2 public schools. Russia public schools belong to one districts, Russia Local School District. There are 1 Russia elementary school, 1 Russia middle school and 1 Russia high school. education is provided bye the state and is regulated bye the federal ministry of education and science.  Regional authorities regulate education within their jurisdictions within the prevailing framework of federal laws. In 2004 state spending for education amounted to 3.6% of GDP. russians are not really known for their education but more for their army and special forces known as spetsnaz.
