Summary
Featuring tales of murder, adultery, beheadings, civil war, usurpation, and madness, this book takes you on a gallop through the history of all of England’s kings and queens, plus some of the less well-known Scots and Welsh rulers. Discover the sticky end that befell Edward II, the story of the princes in the Tower, the tale of the queen who reigned for less than a fortnight, and find out whether Macbeth really was a king of Scotland. Presented in an accessible, chronological format, this essential guide will fill in all those gaps in your history knowledge, remind you of those details you’d forgotten, and provide some fascinating and amusing facts about one of the longest-running monarchies in the world.
