Description

Crown and Country: A History of England Through the Monarchy by David Starkey is a comprehensive exploration of Britain's most revered institution - the monarchy. Spanning over two thousand years, from the Roman retreat to the present day, this revised and updated volume charts the tumultuous history of the British monarchy. From medieval courtly love to the turbulent reigns of the Tudors and the chaos of the Civil War, Starkey brings this complex story up to date, covering significant events such as the Abdication Crisis and the dissolution of Prince Charles's marriage. The book also delves into the world of romance and rank, shedding light on the wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William. With a vivid portrayal of British culture, politics, and nationhood, Crown and Country offers a brilliant overview of the monarchy and a thought-provoking exploration of its enduring impact on the country's history.
