Kings and Queens of England and the United Kingdom

The lives of England's Kings and Queens, from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth II. This painstakingly illustrated book celebrates the Great Dynasties of English Royalty, from the establishment of the monarchical power base by the early Norman Kings through to the present Queen. The stories of the many monarchs and their colourful lives - some merry, some cruel, some heroic, others sinister - are presented by the author who examines the histories of well loved monarchs such as Victoria as well as the lesser known such as Richard III.
