Q. My world leader is Augustus Caesar. Could you give me some good things or important things he accompished? SECONDLY, I have to go against Queen Victoria, what are some things i could use against her?
A. The rule of Augustus initiated an era of relative peace known as the Pax Romana, or Roman peace. Despite continuous frontier wars, and one year-long civil war over the imperial succession.*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus
Victoria's mother was extremely protective of the princess, who was raised in near isolation under the so called "Kensington System", an elaborate set of rules and protocols devised by The Duchess and her comptroller and supposed lover, Sir John Conroy, to prevent the princess from ever meeting people they deemed undesirable and to render her weak and utterly dependent upon them.[4] She was not allowed to interact with other children. Her main companion was her King Charles spaniel, Dash, and she was required to share a bedroom with her mother every night until she became queen

When was big ben and the queens palace built?
Q.
A. From the official website of the British Royals:
"Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of Britain's sovereigns since 1837.
It evolved from a town house that was owned from the beginning of the eighteenth century by the Dukes of Buckingham. Today it is The Queen's official residence, with 775 rooms.
George III bought Buckingham House in 1761 for his wife Queen Charlotte to use as a comfortable family home close to St James's Palace, where many court functions were held. Buckingham House became known as the Queen's House, and 14 of George III's 15 children were born there.
In 1762 work began on remodelling the house to the King's requirements, to designs by Sir William Chambers, at a cost of £73,000.
George IV, on his accession in 1820, decided to reconstruct the house into a pied-Ã -terre, using it for the same purpose as his father George III.
As work progressed, and as late as the end of 1826, the King had a change of heart. With the assistance of his architect, John Nash, he set about transforming the house into a palace. Parliament agreed to a budget of £150,000, but the King pressed for £450,000 as a more realistic figure.
Nash retained the main block but doubled its size by adding a new suite of rooms on the garden side facing west. Faced with mellow Bath stone, the external style reflected the French neo-classical influence favoured by George IV.
The remodelled rooms are the State and semi-State Rooms, which remain virtually unchanged since Nash's time.
Many of the pieces of furniture and works of art in these rooms were bought or made for Carlton House (George IV's London base when he was Prince of Wales), which was demolished in 1827.
The north and south wings of Buckingham House were demolished and rebuilt on a larger scale with a triumphal arch - the Marble Arch - as the centrepiece of an enlarged courtyard, to commemorate the British victories at Trafalgar and Waterloo.
By 1829 the costs had escalated to nearly half a million pounds. Nash's extravagance cost him his job, and on the death of George IV in 1830, his younger brother William IV took on Edward Blore to finish the work.
The King never moved into the Palace. Indeed, when the Houses of Parliament were destroyed by fire in 1834, the King offered the Palace as a new home for Parliament, but the offer was declined.
Queen Victoria was the first sovereign to take up residence in July 1837, just three weeks after her accession, and in June 1838 she was the first British sovereign to leave from Buckingham Palace for a Coronation. Her marriage to Prince Albert in 1840 soon showed up the Palace's shortcomings.
A serious problem for the newly married couple was the absence of any nurseries and too few bedrooms for visitors. The only solution was to move the Marble Arch - it now stands at the north-east corner of Hyde Park - and build a fourth wing, thereby creating a quadrangle.
Blore, the architect in charge, created the East Front and, thanks largely to his builder, Thomas Cubitt, the costs were reduced from £150,000 to £106,000. The cost of the new wing was largely covered by the sale of George IV's Royal Pavilion at Brighton.
Blore added an attic floor to the main block of the Palace and decorated it externally with marble friezes originally intended for Nash's Marble Arch. The work was completed in 1847.
By the turn of the century the soft French stone used in Blore's East Front was showing signs of deterioration, largely due to London's notorious soot, and required replacing.
In 1913 the decision was taken to reface the façade. Sir Aston Webb, with a number of large public buildings to his credit, was commissioned to create a new design. Webb chose Portland Stone, which took 12 months to prepare before building work could begin. When work did start it took 13 weeks to complete the refacing, a process that included removing the old stonework.
The present forecourt of the Palace, where Changing the Guard takes place, was formed in 1911, as part of the Victoria Memorial scheme.
The gates and railings were also completed in 1911; the North-Centre Gate is now the everyday entrance to the Palace, whilst the Central Gate is used for State occasions and the departure of the guard after Changing the Guard.
The work was completed just before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914."
Balmoral Castle:
"Balmoral Castle and the original estate were purchased for Queen Victoria by Prince Albert in 1852. The original Balmoral Castle was built in the fifteenth century but it was considered too small.
A new castle was constructed on the site about 90 metres (100 yards) north from the old building. Prince Albert planned the grounds and helped with the design of the castle itself, which was completed in 1856.
The castle has been handed down through their descendants, and today is the traditional holiday home for The Queen and members of her family during the summer vacation period.
Over the years, improvements have been made by successive generations of the Royal family; most recently by The Duke of Edinburgh who has enlarged the flower and vegetable garden and created the water garden."

Big Ben,properly known as The Great Bell of Westminster, was cast in 1856 and is part of The
Palace of Westiminster which houses Parliament.The presence of royal grounds on this site reach back to 1050 when Edward the Confessor built the first palace. A devastating fire in the late 1860's lead to new construction of buildings on site in 1870;the time that Big Ben made its appearance.

Help with a murder scene for my story?
Q. Okay so I'm writing a story for school, and I don't read a lot and don't watch a lot of movies with murder/crime scenes! xD ~
Anyways, my story so far is about a young insane prince who kills his older brother for the throne, and then gets cursed because of it. But how should he kill the king? This is taken place in the like.... Victorian era? How should he murder his brother? Help?
Thanks in advanced!
Oh yeah very good point about the era. xD
Wasn't paying much attention to that aspect. o-o;

A. Firstly, remember that there was more than one monarch in the world in the Victorian era. Nothing says that you're going to have to write about England and Queen Victoria. Also, there are plenty of nobles with hereditary titles if you don't want to write about kings. A bit of time on wikipedia should give you an idea about the titles of nobility in various countries in the 1800s.
Secondly, the method of murder should seem as accidental as possible. A viscount, baron, or king who has been found stabbed in his bedroom will cause all sorts of trouble. If he suffered a broken neck after being thrown from his horse while fox hunting, people are less likely to ask questions.
Thirdly, find common day to day activites that could be exploited. If someone laces some dried foxglove into his tobacco or poisons his brandy with arsenic over time, it will be difficult to tell what happened.
Finally, find things that can be blamed on other people. Nothing sets up a villian like having him exploit someone's food allergy and blaming it on a servent forgetting (dooming the servant in the process).
