Seven Centuries of Service
Author: Margaret Bolton
Publisher: CheckPoint Press
ISBN: 9781906628499
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
The title of Duke of York is traditionally assigned to the second son of the English monarch. But what exactly does a Duke of York do? Across the centuries dukes have served in the armed services on land, at sea and in the air. They have worked as diplomats and ambassadors and been patrons of the arts and sciences. Some have also been given more unusual jobs such as investigating murders, running a national lottery and supervising building at Westminster Abbey. Several have gone on to become king, including Henry VIII, Charles I and George VI. Some have died peacefully in their beds whilst others faced a brutal end. This handsome, case-bound volume containing over 450 meticulously researched pages takes a detailed and entertaining look at how the fourteen holders of the title from 1385 to the present have each sought to redefine the role and at the contribution each has made to the history of the country and the welfare of its people. All proceeds from the sale of this volume shall be donated to the On Course Foundation, a charity of which HRH The Duke of York is patron. Margaret Bolton is a specialist in the late medieval and early modern period with particular focus on the reigns of Richard II and Henry VIII. Her other research interests include the development of medical knowledge in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and the relationship between diet and disease in the seventeenth century.
