Sir Henry Irving (né John Henry Brodribb; 6 February 1838 – 13 October 1905) was an English actor-manager in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. He established himself at the West End theatre the Lyceum. His long campaign to have theatre recognised as an art of equal importance with music and painting culminated when he was knighted in 1895, the first actor to be thus honoured. Irving was born in the West Country of England and grew up in straitened circumstances. He was raised by his mother and her sister, who were intensely religious and disapproved of his passion for the theatre.

War has come back to europe yet again! Napoleon is back and is ready for another round with Britain. For the first time the british army and the Duke of Wellington himself will fight the french army with napoleon himself on the field. Wellington has beaten many of napoleons best generals in spain, but now the ultimate test and ultimate battle of the napoleonic wars will be fought. Sharpe is now at the highest rank he will ever attain and would never miss an ultimate battle that will not only end the war in which the best army britain ever had fought in, but also lead to britain becoming a world superpower. Sadly thanks to political interference sharpe will once again end up with an incompetent superior who is also a prince, which will not stop Sharpe from being impudent or attempting something worse when his mistakes lead to needless deaths. Some things never change.

Charles I.

0.0 (0)

The reign of Charles I witnessed some of the most dramatic and controversial developments in the course of English history including a full-scale civil war and the trial and public execution of a monarch by his subjects. Since then Charles has been variously regarded as a tragic martyr and as an evil tyrant who attempted to destroy the liberties of the English people. This book reconsiders the personality of Charles and the effects of his decisions as ruler. It questions the responsibility Charles should bear for the disasters of his reign and examines contemporary and modern portrayals of Charles's reign, the king's military leadership, the context and prelude to his execution, and his status as a martyr king in the 1650s and beyond.
