Description

The public and many monarch scientists were galvanized by the idea. It made sense—a major food source was vanishing just as Mexico’s butterfly population was crashing. In the winter of Oberhauser’s visit, there had been about 300 million butterflies, but just over a decade later there were fewer than 100 million. The remedy, Oberhauser and others said, was to plant milkweed in large amounts to make up for the losses. Thousands of citizen conservationists answered the call. Michelle Obama planted milkweed in a White House garden. Environmental groups petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list the monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus plexippus, as a threatened species to give it more habitat protection.

In addition to authoring many publications in scholarly journals, she was also co-editor for two books published by Cornell Press:

In France, the judicial penalty for regicides (i.e. those who had murdered, or attempted to murder, the king) was especially hard, even in regard to the harsh judicial practices of pre- revolutionary France. As with many criminals, the regicide was tortured so as to make him tell the names of his accomplices. However, the method of execution itself was a form of torture. Here is a description of the death of Robert-François Damiens, who attempted to kill Louis XV: David Lagomarsino, Charles T. Wood (Editor) The Trial of Charles I: A Documentary History Pub: Dartmouth College, (1989), ISBN 0-87451-499-1 In the British tradition, it refers to the judicial execution of a king after a trial, reflecting the historical precedent of the trial and execution of Charles I of England. The concept of regicide has also been explored in media and the arts through pieces like Macbeth ( Macbeth's killing of King Duncan)

Lewis killed himself in prison at the age of 33, while awaiting trial for the murder of a young mother and the kidnapping of her child. Shortly before his death Lewis told his partner about his infamous attempt to assassinate the Queen of England. One of the key points of Felton’s overall argument is that the examples that she has highlighted are not necessarily always entirely factual (this is obviously particularly true with regard to the activities of early heroes such as Hercules and Theseus), but rather that certain aspects of them can be rationalised and are thus potentially factual. She notes that ancient authors such as Pausanias and Palaephatus were of the same mind, making the same points in their attempts to explain atrocities such as the Sphinx that terrorised Thebes until the intervention of Oedipus. On Wednesday 14 October 1981, Lewis pulled on gloves and loaded his rifle inside a deserted toilet cubicle in New Zealand’s oldest city, Dunedin, aiming his scope at the Queen’s motorcade five storeys below. Charles II’s condition was no secret among the European court. He was just three years old when the throne became his and his mother, Mariana, became queen regent, designating much of the work of governing the country to advisors. Two years after shooting at the Queen, the teenager, planning to murder Prince Charles, attempted to escape from a psychiatric ward. In 1995, New Zealand police sent him on a taxpayer-funded holiday during the Queen’s November tour – believing him to be safer snoozing on a beach than anywhere within firing distance of the monarch. He killed himself in prison in 1997.

As improbable as it sounds, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ focus on individual people spurred to action by the emergence of Godzilla and his fellow Titans is exactly what makes the show a surprise delight — one that feels like it has potential to be both a proper hit for Apple TV Plus and a strong step forward for the MonsterVerse franchise as a whole. The rebellion was initiated after a poor harvest in 1535 led to high food prices. Due to King Henry’s Reformation which saw many monasteries dissolved, the poor were unable to turn to them for food and shelter. The rebellion also involved a religious and political angle in that many people who had loved Queen Catherine were appalled by the King’s divorce and his marriage to Anne Boleyn while also seeing their Catholic faith betrayed by new Protestant doctrines. The Parliamentary Archives in the Palace of Westminster, London, holds the original death warrant for Charles I.
