Description

The Kings & Queens of Scotland by Timothy Venning The kingdom of Scots was the last of the non-Anglo-Saxon states of Britain to survive as a political entity. This remarkable story of Scotland's rulers spans over a thousand years, from Kenneth MacAlpin onwards, and is marked by rapid reversals of fortune, brilliant and incompetent leadership, family strife, and triumph and tragedy closely intertwined. The history of Scotland's rulers is complex and often violent, with the obscure earlier history being just as fascinating as the better-known stories of the Bruce and Queen Mary. The story of how Scotland's rulers managed to maintain their independence, even in the face of conquest, is a testament to their abilities and tenacity. This book is a tribute to the qualities of Scotland's rulers, offering a unique insight into the lives and reigns of the monarchs who shaped the country's history.
