| | Britannia: Monarchs of Britain |
| | Wolsey was quite capable as Lord Chancellor, but his own interests were served more than that of the king: as powerful as he was, he still was subject to Henry's favor - losing Henry's confidence proved to be his downfall. | | | The king moved away from the medieval idea of ruler as chief lawmaker and overseer of civil behavior, to the modern idea of ruler as the ideological icon of the state. | | | The early part of Henry's reign, however, saw the young king invade France, defeat Scottish forces at the Battle of Foldden Field (in which James IV of Scotland was slain), and write a treatise denouncing Martin Luther's Reformist ideals, for which the pope awarded Henry the title "Defender of the Faith". |

| | Prince consort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A prince consort, generally speaking, is the husband of a Queen regnant, unless he himself is a king. | | | It is also not fully clear what would happen to the prince consort's title in the event that he were to outlive his wife, as this seems to have rarely occurred in the recorded annals of monarchy. | | | Current examples include the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (husband of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom), and Prince Henrik of Denmark (husband of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark). |

| | Trio Sonatas by Robert King at jsbach.org |
| | Bravo to Robert King and his Consort of fabulous players, this one's a keeper. | | | The music is made even more approachable by the wonderfully clear and succinct notes by Robert King in which he explains the choice of instruments, often for individual movements. | | | Any one of them contains a core from which a concerto or larger-scale piece might be derived from (as is the case of the second movement used in both BWV 527/BWV 1044), yet they are SO effective and convincing in a small chamber setting they really don't need it. |

| | The salubrious accompaniment of the Harp Consort, under the direction of Andrew Lawrence King ("consort" is a period term for an ensemble), sets the stage, as it were, for the unfolding of either courtly and elegant polyphony, or a display of rustic and passionate bravura. | | | Though the King's Singers are no longer affiliated with King's college, the traditions established by those graduates are continued by new members each of whom is chosen after rigorous search and auditions. | | | The six King's Singers, who, with the presence of two countertenors, are able to render the full spectrum of vocal ranges, have one of the most immediately recognizable sounds. |

| | Purcell scholar Robert King and his eponymous groups here offer - in a two-CD set - a 'reconstruction' of the coronation of King George II in October 1727. | | | From William Child's aristocratic anthem O Lord, grant the King a long life to the mighty Te Deum of Orlando Gibbons, these two discs encompass some of the greatest music written by British composers in any age. | | | By all contemporary accounts, the coronation of King George II and his Queen was a right royal mess of musical confusion with the wrong anthems being performed in the wrong places and sometimes not at all. |
