Most of us are fascinated by royalty, past and present. Whether
glamorous or sordid, merrie or morose, our monarchs and their
families have led lives very different from ours - and all too
often they've held the Fate of the Nation in the palms of their
hands. They've married for diplomatic reasons and created
diplomatic incidents when they divorced. They've refused to marry
and endangered the succession; they've borne a dozen children and
still left no one to succeed them. They've got themselves
excommunicated and created their own religions. They've waged war
against their neighbours and their cousins; built frivolous summer
palaces and formidable fortresses (and imprisoned their cousins in
them). In so doing, they've left their mark all over Great Britain,
in castles and churches, on battle fields and stained- glass
windows. Their stories are written all across our landscape, if we
know where to look for them. In this amusing and fast-paced tour of
Britain, Caroline Taggart is our guide to all the weird and
wonderful places connected with royalty over the last 1,500 years.
