Edward II: A King's Turbulent Reign The latest biography in the acclaimed Yale English Monarchs series presents a nuanced and balanced portrayal of Edward II, one of England's most enigmatic monarchs. Contrary to his ignominious reputation, this definitive study reveals a more complex picture of the king's life and reign.

Eight hundred years after his reign, Edward II's life remains shrouded in mystery, particularly surrounding his alleged murder in 1327. This biography tackles these contentious issues head-on, providing a comprehensive understanding of the king's enduring legacy.
