Description

A rollicking history of England's monarchs from Arthur to Elizabeth I, a tale of power, glory, and excessive beheadings. David Mitchell's Unruly explores how early England's rulers, while feared and revered, were in reality a bunch of lucky bastards who were mostly as silly and weird in real life as they appear today in their portraits. From the founding story of post-Roman England to the reign of Elizabeth I, Mitchell delves into the lives of England's monarchs, uncovering a tale of narcissists, inadequate self-control, middle-management insurrection, and uncivil wars. This is a story of how the British monarchy came to be, and who is to blame. A funny book that takes history seriously, Unruly is a fresh and engaging look at the often-ridiculous history of England's kings and queens.
