Examples of Edward the Confessor in the following topics:
-
- William the Conqueror's rule was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England, which led to the compiling of the Domesday Book, a manuscript surveying the land of England in order to understand the holdings of each household.
- The lands of the resisting English elite were confiscated; some of the elite fled into exile.
- Other effects of the conquest included the introduction of Norman French as the language of the elites and changes in the composition of the upper classes, as William reclaimed territory to be held directly by the king and settled new Norman nobility on the land.
- The survey's ultimate purpose was to determine what taxes had been owed under Edward the Confessor.
- The Domesday survey therefore recorded the names of the new landholders and the assessments on which their taxes were to be paid.
-
- William's claim to the English throne derived from his familial relationship with the childless Anglo-Saxon King Edward the Confessor, who may have encouraged William's hopes for the throne.
- Edward died in January 1066 and was succeeded by his brother-in-law Harold Godwinson.
- The king also had a group of personal armsmen known as housecarls, who formed the backbone of the royal forces.
- Other sources stated that no one knew how Harold died because the press of battle was so tight around the king that the soldiers could not see who struck the fatal blow.
- The tapestry depicts the loss of the Anglo-Saxon troops to the Norman forces.
-
- The reign of Henry III's son Edward I (1272–1307), was rather more successful.
- After the disastrous reign of Edward II, which saw military losses and the Great Famine, Edward III reigned from 1327–1377, restoring royal authority and transforming the Kingdom of England into the most efficient military power in Europe.
- Edward had inherited the duchy of Aquitaine, and as duke of Aquitaine he was a vassal to Philip VI of France.

-
- The Isaurian emperors were successful in defending and consolidating the Empire against the Caliphate after the onslaught of the early Muslim conquests, but were less successful in Europe, where they suffered setbacks against the Bulgars, had to give up the Exarchate of Ravenna, and lost influence over Italy and the Papacy to the growing power of the Franks.
- By the end of the Isaurian dynasty in 802, the Byzantines were continuing to fight the Arabs and the Bulgars for their very existence, with matters made more complicated when Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne Imperator Romanorum ("Emperor of the Romans") which was seen as making the Carolingian Empire the successor to the Roman Empire or at least the western half.
- Leo III, who would become the founder of the so-called Isaurian dynasty, was actually born in Germanikeia in northern Syria c. 685; his alleged origin from Isauria derives from a reference in Theophanes the Confessor, which may be a later addition.
- The Second Arab siege of Constantinople in 717–718 was a combined land and sea offensive by the Muslim Arabs of the Umayyad Caliphate against the capital city of the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople.

- Doctrinal change, in line with continental Protestant developments, accelerated under Edward VI, but was reversed by Mary I.
-
- Irene is said to have sought a marriage alliance between herself and Charlemagne, but according to Theophanes the Confessor, who alone mentions it, the scheme was frustrated by Aetios, one of her favorite advisors.
- Indeed, Charlemagne was usurping the prerogatives of the Roman emperor in Constantinople simply by sitting in judgement over the pope in the first place.
- Norwich explains that by bestowing the imperial crown upon Charlemagne, the pope arrogated to himself "the right to appoint the Emperor of the Romans, establishing the imperial crown as his own personal gift but simultaneously granting himself implicit superiority over the Emperor whom he had created."
- The papacy itself never forgot the title nor abandoned the right to bestow it.
- This devolution led to the dormancy of the title from 924 to 962.
