Publisher Description
Here is the whole of recorded British royal history, from the legendary King Alfred the Great onwards, including the monarchies of England, Scotland, Wales and the United Kingdom for over a thousand years. Fascinating portraits are expertly woven into a history of division and eventual union of the British Isles - even royals we think most familiar are revealed in a new and sometimes surprising light.
This revised and shortened edition of The Mammoth Book of British Kings & Queens includes biographies of the royals of recorded British history, plus an overview of the semi-legendary figures of pre-history and the Dark Ages - an accessible source for students and general readers.
Customer Reviews
Worthwhile Overview
Some points appear to be opinion rather than fact. Some facts appear to be incorrect, specifically entries for the House of Windsor. Some writing issues. Would have preferred in text citations. Sequencing is a bit disjointed when moving from England to Scotland to Wales, etc. I’d have preferred one continuous timeline for each country. But, I see the reason for the division as is. Thanks for writing.
