    How to make a essay more interesting
    I'm having trouble making an essay I'm doing on Henry VII for a competition on parliamentary history less dull. Basically, I was planning on discussing the relative importance/influence of contingents of his government (eg, privy council, parliament), but I'm worried this may be a bit bland on its own.

    I add in lots of snarky comments about various important figures. Makes it more fun for me to write, and my teacher is equally snarky.
