Book Description
From Caratacus to Elizabeth II, the kings and queens who have ruled over the British Isles have played a vital role in forging the destiny of their kingdoms. This splendid book details the lives, the achievements, and the struggles of the monarchs of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Beginning with the pre-Roman rulers of Britain, and moving on through the shadowy early Anglo-Saxon chieftains to Alfred the Great and the unification of England, the book takes the story past the Norman Conquest to the Angevins, Plantagenets, and the Wars of the Roses. Special sections chart the histories of the Scottish, Welsh, and Irish monarchies, and chapters on the Tudors, Stuarts, Hanoverians, and Windsors bring the story up to date. With an outstanding text and hundreds of color pictures and maps, this is a work that brings history to life.

The Kings & Queens of Britain
Author: Cath Senker
Publisher: Arcturus Publishing
ISBN: 1838576983
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 443
Book Description
Who was the first king of England? Did Henry I assassinate his brother? How did 'Bloody Mary' reinstate Roman Catholicism? For more than 1,000 years the British monarchy has dramatically shaped national and international history. Kings and queens have conquered territory, imposed religious change and extracted taxation, each with their own motivations and ambitions. In this beautifully illustrated book, Cath Senker delves into the extraordinary history of the British monarchy and its host of kings, queens and pretenders. There have been benevolent rulers, violent ones, religious fanatics, brilliant economists, masters of diplomacy and the power hungry. But whether they have abused their power or used it for good, each monarch has played a part in the rich tapestry of British history, coping with both international and civil wars, rebellions and criticism. The Kings & Queens of Britain introduces this fascinating thousand-year history, providing rich biographical detail of Britain's remarkable monarchs.
