Monsters and Monarchs: Serial Killers in Classical Myth and History

Product Information

Aske’s rebellion was viewed as a serious threat to the Crown as the barrister assembled between 30-40,000 people and occupied York. The Duke of Norfolk was assigned the task to quell both the Pilgrimage of Grace rebellion and a new rising called Bigod’s Rebellion led by one Sir Francis Bigod. The explosion of comments and questions I receive about monarch diseases suggests they’re a common problem for many raisers. There’s still a lot of work to be done to help everyone raise butterflies with (at least) a 90% survival rate. There are many who would claim that King Herod committed his most heinous deed with the Massacre of the Innocents. However, the story of the slaughter of all boys in Bethlehem under the age of two is only found in the Bible; there are no historical records from the time detailing such an atrocity. Herod’s crimes were much more personal. As a 19-year-old domestic servant, Barton first predicted the death of a child in the household where she worked and went on to make more prophecies that appeared to come true.

Subsequent field visits by the two researchers revealed that milkweed plants in these farm fields held up to four times more eggs than did milkweed in natural prairies and in farmland set aside for conservation. “They seemed to be monarch magnets,” Pleasants says. In the past few seasons, I’ve raised hundreds of butterflies from tiny monarch egg. The only casualties I’ve experienced are from carelessness (rushing cage cleaning), and accidentally bringing in monarch predators with milkweed…mainly small spiders. Over time biologists learned that when spring comes to the valley, as well as to other parts of North America, female monarchs alight on more than 70 species of milkweed plants (genus Asclepias) to feed and to lay eggs. One adult female can lay up to 500 eggs. When that job is done, she dies. From her eggs hatch caterpillars that turn into butterflies; the cycle repeats four to five times during a year. These are the monarch predators that you unwittingly invite in to your cage, trapping them inside with your unsuspecting monarchs. I have done this with small spiders and stink bugs. This can be a problem when you raise on potted plants because of all the nooks and crannies where predators can easily avoid detection.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. 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. Pleasants, John M.; Oberhauser, Karen S. (March 2013). "Milkweed loss in agricultural fields because of herbicide use: effect on the monarch butterfly population". Insect Conservation and Diversity. 6 (2): 135–144. doi: 10.1111/j.1752-4598.2012.00196.x. S2CID 14595378. Some regicides, such as Richard Ingoldsby and Philip Nye, were conditionally pardoned, while a further nineteen served life imprisonment. The bodies of the regicides Cromwell, Bradshaw, and Ireton, which had been buried in Westminster Abbey, were disinterred and hanged, drawn and quartered in posthumous executions. In 1662, three more regicides, John Okey, John Barkstead and Miles Corbet, were also hanged, drawn and quartered. The officers of the court that tried Charles I, those who prosecuted him, and those who signed his death warrant, have been known ever since the restoration as regicides.

If the paper had been about any other insect, only a handful of specialist scientists might have taken note. But the monarch butterfly has a special place in the hearts of people in three North American nations. The insect’s bright-orange color and large size, the gentle loops of its flight and, most of all, its spectacular migration have made the monarch a much loved celebrity.

Before the Tudor period, English kings had been murdered while imprisoned (for example Edward II and Edward V) or killed in battle by their subjects (for example Richard III), but none of these deaths are usually referred to as regicide.

The word regicide seems to have come into popular use among continental Catholics when Pope Sixtus V renewed the papal bull of excommunication against the "crowned regicide" Queen Elizabeth I, [4] for—among other things—executing Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1587, although she had abdicated the Scottish crown some 20 years earlier. [5] Elizabeth had originally been excommunicated by Pope Pius V, in Regnans in Excelsis, for converting England to Protestantism after the reign of Mary I of England.

Kirby 1999, p.21 footnotes 12 and 35. "The record of the Trial also appears in Cobbett's Complete Collection of State Trials, Vol IV, covering 1640–1649 published in London in 1809. p. 1132." On the day of his execution, 30 January 1649, Charles dressed in two shirts so that he would not shiver from the cold, lest it be said that he was shivering from fear. His execution was delayed by several hours so that the House of Commons could pass an emergency bill to make it an offence to proclaim a new King, and to declare the representatives of the people, the House of Commons, as the source of all just power. Charles was then escorted through a window of the Banqueting House in the Palace of Whitehall to an outdoor scaffold where he would be beheaded. [9] He forgave those who had passed sentence on him and gave instructions to his enemies that they should learn to " know their duty to God, the King – that is, my successors – and the people". [10] He then gave a brief speech outlining his unchanged views of the relationship between the monarchy and the monarch's subjects, ending with the words " I am the martyr of the people". [11] His head was severed from his body with one blow.All sides agree that helping the monarch cannot wait until the science is settled. The area of Mexican forest occupied by monarchs plummeted in 2013 to a spot barely larger than a standard soccer pitch, a record low. Although the migratory population has rebounded somewhat since then, most researchers still view its status as precarious. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says it will rule on the endangered species petition later this year.
