Queen Victoria was Queen of the United kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Queen Victoria was married to Prince Albert Consort(Fact: Apparently Prince Albert is her cousin!), who died on the 14th of December, 1841( by a fever and died at 42 years old). As for Queen Victoria, she died from Intracerebral hemorrhage, (A type of stroke). She died. on the 22nd of January 1901. Victoria had 9 children, she had 5 daughters and 4 sons.
Victoria sent James Busby as a representative on her behalf to create the treaty and to convince the Maori to sign. She also sent a few other europeans too. Some Maori chiefs had to protect the Queen back then which was part of an agreement in the treaty.
“Victoria is my name, Queen Victoria to be exact. I am the Empress of India, Queen of England and the Queen of Ireland also. As the queen of England I am prepared to take on any country I come face to face with, allies or non allies. As one of the most longest reigning monarchs who has ever ruled England, I need to make the days of being a Queen count. Speaking of rules, New Zealand(Odd name, soon to be New England) needs a couple of them. What a great opportunity to rule another country, and help of course, they seem reasonable. Creating a treaty is a great way to settle things between our countries, though we need the Maoris, is that correct term, Maoris?, to sign the treaty before the French get to them first. I put my trust in William to accomplish this for me, as well as James too. From what i've heard, Maori warriors are very fierce men and women. I could use some more protection up in the Palace, perhaps I could add that to the treaty, but that is to be determined later.”
Hi Luisa! We are Room 10, Tāmaki Primary. We are very happy to introduce ourselves as one of your quad blogging buddy classes for Te Taiao o Tāmaki. These are interesting facts about Queen Victoria you have written. We didn't know that Māori chiefs had to protect her. There is a lot that is so interesting about our National history - we are trying to learn more about it too! Maybe we can use your writing to help us with our research. We look forward to returning and reading more of your interesting writing! From Room 10, Tāmaki Primary.
