Fittoniya [83]2 years ago

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.

what is the significance of mama elena spirit ? What is ironic about her spirit telling Tita, “You have forgotten all morality,
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Tita´s duty

Explanation:

When Mama Elena dies, tita got rid of her duty (or that was her thinking) and how you can tell in the story Tita feels completly free to love Pedro, free to do what ever she wants to do since she knew him. But that´s not true, her duty still there, why? because she was destined to serve her mom not to marry, not to have a romance.  When she supposed that she was pregnant (you know the reason), there's come Mama Elena to remind her that duty, obviously she got mad for what Tita did, she's angry and tells her that.
