<p>Abeyer: </p> <hr /> <div>==1. The Beginning of the Corn Laws==<br /> The Corn Laws were passed in 1815 due to the immensely growing population from the 1750s and also due to Britain’s involvement in the Napoleonic Wars from 1799 to 1815. The growing population led to the situation that Great Britain reluctantly turned from a food exporter to a food importer. Moreover, the Napoleonic Wars led to an immense rise in domestic prices because Great Britain was isolated by the French through blockade (or at least the attempt to do so). As a result of this, British production became very much prestigious because it was protected from all foreign competition. (www.britainexpress.com)<br /> <br /> ==2. Postwar==<br /> British government was highly afraid of an economic collapse after the war had ended in 1815 (Kramer, 153). Consequently, it introduced the Corn Laws to protect domestic agriculture from foreign import. According to the Corn Laws, grain under 10 shillings per bushel was subject to banned imports (Alborn in O’Gorman, 64).<br /> <br /> ==3. Consequences==<br /> This system was soon criticized because it strengthened the nobility and landowners. It maintained the high rents that landlords were enabled to charge during the Napoleonic Wars. The system encouraged the rigid hierarchical system, benefitting those at the top of the hierarchy (Alborn in O’Gorman, 64). The working class was significantly disadvantaged. The rocketing prices led to poverty because they now worked to survive from the rest of money left after paying their rent (www.britainexpress.com).<br /> <br /> ==4. Measures==<br /> The Corn Laws were slightly weakened in 1828 by government under the [[Arthur Wellesley|Duke of Wellington]]. He revised the law to the extent that grain could be imported without paying duty when the domestic price was at least 73 shilling/quarter (www.victorianweb.org). <br /> <br /> ==5. Result==<br /> The Corn Laws resulted in many critic and protests, and after the potato famine in Ireland, started in 1845 and ended in 1849, they were repealed (Kramer, 153; www.britannica.com).<br /> <br /> ==6.

<p>Abeyer: </p> <hr /> <div>== '''1. The Childhood''' ==<br /> <br /> Juliana Horatia Ewing (née Gatty) was born in Ecclesfield, Yorkshire, in 1841. She was the daughter of Alfred Gatty, a clergyman, and Margaret Gatty, an author. Juliana had seven siblings that she devotedly cared for. Even in her early childhood Juliana proved her abilities in drawing and music, and like her mother, Juliana entered the career as a children’s book author. She became a leading author of children’s books in the Victorian period. (Sutherland, 217)<br /> <br /> == '''2. Beginning of her Career''' ==<br /> Apparently inheriting her mother’s talent, Juliana made her first attempts at story-telling with her siblings that she successfully entertained. Her first results of writing were the ''Nursery Magazines'' from 1856. (http://www.theweeweb.co.uk/public/author_profile.php?id=199) Then she started to write for the ''Monthly Packet'', which published her stories in 1861/1862. Her first story published was called ''A Bit of Green''. It dealt with a child growing up in slums and being affected by a green plant. (Sutherland, 217)<br /> <br /> == '''3. Her Career''' ==<br /> Being from an author’s family, Juliana worked together with her mother, who founded the ''Aunt Judy’s Magazine'' in 1866, whose name is based on Juliana’s nickname. Juliana and her sister Horatia Katherine became the editors of the magazine after their mother died in 1873. (http://www.theweeweb.co.uk/public/author_profile.php?id=199) She published quite a few books like ''Lob Lie By The Fire'' in 1873 and ''Jackanapes'' in 1883. (Sutherland, 218)<br /> <br /> == '''4. Her Marriage''' ==<br /> On June 1st 1867 Juliana Horatia Gatty got married to Alexander Ewing, a captain in the army. Soon, she followed him to Halifax and Nova Scotia, Canada, because her husband had been deployed there. From 1867 to 1869 she moved within several military camps in Canada, took over the editorship of ''Aunt Judy’s Magazine'' when her mother died and still wrote stories – all this in Canada. (http://www.theweeweb.co.uk/public/author_profile.php?id=199) <br /> <br /> == '''5. Her Matrimony''' ==<br /> In 1879 she followed her husband to Malta, where he was then about to be deployed, but during the journey she fell ill, so that she had to go back to London. From then she did not follow her husband no longer. Even though her state of health deteriorated, she continued writing children’s books. She stayed in Devonshire and Bath. (Sutherland, 218) <br /> <br /> == '''6. Her Death''' ==<br /> In Bath she died shortly before her second surgery. (http://www.theweeweb.co.uk/public/author_profile.php?id=199) It was cancer of the spine that she died of in 1885. (Sutherland, 218)<br /> <br /> == '''7. Bibliography:''' ==<br /> Mullin, Robert.

From 1867 to 1869 she moved within several military camps in Canada, took over the editorship of Aunt Judy’s Magazine when her mother died and still wrote stories – all this in Canada. (http://www.theweeweb.co.uk/public/author_profile.php?id=199) <br /> <br /> '''5. Her Matrimony'''<br /> In 1879 she followed her husband to Malta, where he was then about to be deployed, but during the journey she fell ill, so that she had to go back to London. From then she did not follow her husband no longer. Even though her state of health deteriorated, she continued writing children’s books. She stayed in Devonshire and Bath. (Sutherland, 218) <br /> <br /> '''6. Her Death'''<br /> In Bath she died shortly before her second surgery. (http://www.theweeweb.co.uk/public/author_profile.php?id=199) It was cancer of the spine that she died of in 1885. (Sutherland, 218)<br /> <br /> '''7. Bibliography:'''<br /> Mullin, Robert.

<p>Abeyer: </p> <hr /> <div>== 1. Birth ==<br /> Princess Charlotte Augusta was born on 7 January 1796 by Princess Caroline of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Her father was [[George IV]]. (Parissien 228)<br /> Princess Charlotte Augusta did not enjoy a carefree childhood because her parents were in a permanent quarrel. Princess Charlotte Augusta became a very tomboyish girl and so her father separated her from her frequently bad-tempered mother. (http://www.georgianindex.net/Prn_Charlotte/P_Charlotte.html) Her father wanted to raise her in ‘order and regularity’. Later Caroline of Brunswick was allowed to see her daughter again due George III’s involvement. (Parissien 229)<br /> <br /> == 2. Childhood ==<br /> The princess took a lot after her father. As a matter of fact, she was careless in contact with people and with possessions too. She was a notorious liar and had a very nasty temper. Moreover, the princess was very passionate as for love. (Parissien 231) She even had affairs with a few men and she struck the public because of her immense lack of manners. Swearing in public and using her sleeve as handkerchief was definitely the behaviour of a member of the British Royal Family. (Parissien 231)<br /> <br /> == 3. Marriage ==<br /> Princess Charlotte Augusta rejected all of her father’s potential suggestions of men and married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, a German prince serving as a senior officer in the Russian army. (Parissien 237) She met him during her negotiations with her then future husband William of Orange. She had also been in love with Prince Frederick, the King of Prussia's nephew. (http://www.georgianindex.net/Prn_Charlotte/P_Charlotte.html) Nonetheless, Princess Charlotte Augusta fell in love with Prince Leopold Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld and married him on 2 May 1816. (Parissien 237) After their marriage, the married couple moved to Claremont in Surrey. The two were a very contrasting couple and so complemented one another: she was a very vivacious and he a very calm character. (Parissien 238)<br /> <br /> == 4. Death ==<br /> Princess Charlotte Augusta had two miscarriages and became pregnant for the third time. She delivered a son on 5 November 1817 after suffering labour of two days. The princess, who had been suffering from inherited porphyria, died after her delivery on the same day. (Parissien 239) <br /> <br /> == 5.

(Bradford, p. 11)<br /> Due to her illness, she withdrew from social life and furthermore had to accept her husband’s affairs.

<p>Abeyer: </p> <hr /> <div>== Princess Alexandra of Denmark, Queen Alexandra. ==<br /> <br /> == 1.Childhood/Adolescence ==<br /> Princess Alexandra (of Denmark) was born on 01 December 1844 in Copenhagen, Denmark. (http://www.englishmonarchs.co.uk)<br /> <br /> Her parents were Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg’s and Princess Louise of Hesse-Cassel.<br /> Despite not being very wealthy, her family gave Princess Alexandra all their love and affection. They taught her English, French and religion.<br /> Princess Alexandra was a very pretty and slim woman with an athletic body. The latter applies to her sisters too. Princess Alexandra was very keen on riding and she was an open-minded person. Encouraged by her family to do practical jokes, she adopted a tomboyishness.<br /> (Bradford, p. 11)<br /> <br /> == 2. Marriage ==<br /> In 1863 Princess Alexandra moved to England to get married to Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, who later became Edward VII. <br /> She was 18 and he was 21 on the day of their marriage. (http://www.englishmonarchs.co.uk)<br /> <br /> The two had a lot of characteristics in common, which made them seem to suit very well to each other. Princess Alexandra and Prince Albert, <br /> who became Queen Alexandra and King Edward VII in 1901 after his mother had died, were both “restless, gregarious” (Bradford, p. 11) and <br /> above all none of them could be considered having a brilliant intellect. (Bradford, p. 11)<br /> Queen Alexandra and King Edward VII had 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls. The boys Albert Victor, George and Alexander died shortly after their births and the girls Louise, Victoria and Maud were called ‘the hags’. (Bradford, p. 12) <br /> Even though she was a very maternal and affectionate woman, she was also very bossy to only her children. (Bradford, pp. 18/19)<br /> <br /> == 3. Life ==<br /> Queen Alexandra transmitted otosclerosis from her mother and as a result of that gradually became deaf. She met another very sad destiny after the birth of her third child in 1867. She got rheumatic fever with the effect that she had to limp and even worse she got more and more deaf. (Bradford, p. 11)<br /> Due to her illness, she withdrew from social life and furthermore had to accept her husband’s affairs. She was bound to the house and focused on caring for the children and her horses. (Bradford, p. 12)<br /> <br /> == 4. Death ==<br /> Queen Alexandra died of a sudden heart attack on 20 November 1925 Sandringham. (Bradford, pp. 152/153)<br /> <br /> == 5. Bibliography ==<br /> Bradford, Sarah. 1989. George VI.

(Brendon &amp; Whitehead 125, http://www.royal.gov.uk/)<br /> <br /> == 2. Childhood/Adolscence ==<br /> Prince Philip spent a very turbulent childhood after his parents had got divorced in 1930. He spent his childhood with many of his European relatives, and after all his uncle Lord Mountbatten adopted him. Mountbatten raised his nephew very strictly. Philip attended the “spartan academy of Gordonstoun” (Brendon &amp; Whitehead 125). After school, he became member of the Royal Navy. (Brendon &amp; Whitehead 125, http://www.royal.gov.uk/) Indicating his Englishness, Philip adopted his uncle’s name “Mountbatten” as his new family name.
