This best-selling title is a handy-format, fully comprehensive
guide to the rulers of the British nations and their chequered
histories, from pre-Roman times to the present day. From King
Kenneth I and Henry VIII through to Princess Diana, the Queen
Mother and Queen Elizabeth II, Kings and Queens: The Concise Guide
reveals the lives and personalities of each monarch - the good,
bad, lazy, greedy, downright wicked, sometimes mad and occasionally
brilliant - and examines the ways in which they have shaped
history. Including family trees, key facts and further details, as
well as timelines to help place each monarch in their historical
context, the book covers the major social, political and commercial
events of each monarch's reign. The author also provides additional
information on the spirit, traditions and innovations of the nation
at the time, including politics, arts, architecture and fashions.
It is a magnificent visual feast in an appealing format, which
guarantees to bring history alive for readers of all ages, through
exciting narrative, famous paintings and rare archive photographs.
