Description
The Kings & Queens of Britain offers an authoritative account of the British monarchy from Anglo-Saxon times to the present. With over 600 entries, this comprehensive history provides detailed information on the rulers of Britain, including their policies, personalities, key dates, and legacies. Generously illustrated with maps, photos, paintings, and genealogies, the book sheds light on various aspects of the monarchy, such as succession, coronations, marriages, regalia, and historic sites like the Tower of London. The second edition has been revised to include recent events, including Prince Charles's second marriage, and features a topical introductory article on the changing role of the monarchy in the 21st century. Additional resources are available online, including a glossary, recommended further reading, and a new appendix of web links, making this book an ideal choice for those seeking a thorough understanding of Britain's royal history.
