The infighting that started after Edward the Confessor's death without any heirs to the throne leads to fight for the English crown and seen as having contributed to the decline of royal authority in England and the rise of the House of Godwin

The final Anglo-Saxon monarch of England, Edward the Confessor, passed away on January 5, 1066.

The Confessor is regarded as a kind and peaceful person in modern times thanks to the writings of mediaeval monks who lived before and after him. However, his passing set off one of the bloodiest eras in English history as rivals vied for the throne, and William the Conqueror, who ultimately prevailed, brutally imposed his control on his new realm.

Following the passing of Harthacnut, Cnut the Great's son, Edward became king of England in 1042. Later reports attributed his accession to the throne to the Normans. There isn't much data to back this up, though. Edward gave Normans access to influential positions in England, including his nephew Ralph of Mantes. Edward's court was heavily international even while he encouraged Norman settlement in England to help him fight off internal foes like Earl Godwine of Wessex.

Political realities exist in our culture. When Edward died in 1053, Harold, the ruthless Earl of Wessex, was given complete authority over all of Southern England. After Edward's death, he gained a reputation for being the strongest man in England, and this made him famous.

Paragraph about theater
NikAS [45]
The drama is a very ancient form of art, and reached a high pitch of excellence in ancient Greece, which produced such great dramatists as Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and the satirist Aristophanes. The Greeks were passionately fond of the theatre, and crowded to see and hear the plays of these great poets.

In England, the drama came into full flower in the age of Queen Elizabeth, and the number of able Elizabethan dramatists, of whom Shakespeare was the greatest, shows what an intense interest the English people took in the theatre.

The actual theaters in those days were very primitive, and scarcely any scenery was used; but the dramas produced are the greatest in English literature.

Theatres today are places of amusement, resorted to, as a rule, in the evening after the work of the day. The buildings are large and comfortable, and the scenery is magnificent and real­istic.

The scenic arrangements delight the eye, the music charms the soul, and the situations created by the plot are such as to arouse the interest, and make us lose the sense of our own troubles and worries in sympathy with the joys and sorrows of those who are impersonated upon the stage.

Theatres being looked upon, in modern times, largely as places of recreation, the public demands amusement, “and those representations which are of a cheerful and joyous nature, those plots which involve the characters in trouble and leave them in possession of unalloyed happiness, are the most popular, even though in many cases they are untrue to life. There is, however, another side to the question. The English stage was most flourishing in the time of Queen Elizabeth. The dramatists of that day looked upon amusement as only a part of their duties. Many men of lofty and penetrating intellect used the theatre as a medium for the expression of their thoughts and ideas.

Their aim was to ennoble and elevate the audience, and imbue it with their own philosophy, by presenting noble charac­ters working out their destiny amid trials and temptations, and their pictures, being essentially true to nature, acted as powerful incentives to the cultivation of morality.

Shakespeare stands pre­eminent among them all, because by his wealth of inspiring thought he gives food for reflection to the wisest, and yet charms all by his wit and humour and exhibits for ridicule follies and absurdi­ties of men.

It is a great testimony to the universality of his genius that, even in translations, he appeals to many thousands of those who frequent Indian theatres, and who differ so much in thought, customs and religion from the audiences for which he wrote.
