Plantagenet England 1225-1360 (New Oxford History of England)
In this thorough and illuminating work, Michael Prestwich provides a comprehensive study of Plantagenet England, a dramatic and turbulent period which saw many changes. In politics it saw Simon de Montfort's challenge to the crown in Henry II's reign and it witnessed the deposition of Edward I. In contrast, it also saw the highly successful rules of Edward I and his grandson, Edward III. Political institutions were transformed with the development of parliament and war was a dominant theme: Wales was conquered and the Scottish Wars of Independence started in Edward I's reign, and under Edward III there were triumphs at Crecy and Poitiers. Outside of politics, English society was developing a structure, from the great magnates at the top to the peasantry at the bottom. Economic changes were also significant, from the expansionary period of the thirteenth century to years of difficulty in the fourteenth century, culminating in the greatest demographic disaster of historical times, the Black Death. In this volume in the New Oxford History of England series, Michael Prestwich brings this fascinating century to life.

The Reign of Cleopatra by Stanley M. Burstein
Book Description
Ambitious, intelligent, and desired by men
and Emperors, Cleopatra VII came to power at a time when Roman and
Egyptian interests increasingly tended to concern the same object: the
Egyptian Empire itself. Cleopatra lived her whole life at the center of
this complex and persistent power struggle, and her death
simultaneously heralded the end of the Ptolemaic dynasty, the loss of
Egyptian political independence, and the beginning of Caesar Augustus's
Roman rule in Egypt. Cleopatra's legacy has since lost much of its
former political significance, as she has come to symbolize instead the
potent force of female sexuality and power. In this engaging and
multifaceted account, however, Stanley M. Burstein displays Cleopatra
in the full manifold brilliance of the several cultures, countries, and
people that surrounded her throughout her compelling life, and in so
doing develops a stunning picture of a legendary Queen, and a deeply
historic reign. Designed as an accessible introduction to Cleopatra VII
and her time, this book offers readers and researchers an appealing mix
of descriptive chapters, biographical sketches, and annotated primary
documents. An overview of the Ptolemaic Dynasty is presented in the
introduction, and is followed by chapters on Cleopatra's life, the
reality of Ptolemaic Egypt, Cleopatra's multicultural Egyptian society,
and Alexandria's culture and conflicts. The narrative chapters conclude
with a section discussing Cleopatra's significance as a person, a
queen, and a symbol. An annotated bibliography and index are also
included in this work.
