'He seems to have laboured under an almost child-like
misapprehension about the size of his world. Had greatness not been
thrust upon him, he might have lived a life of great harmlessness'
The reign of Edward II was a succession of disasters. Inept in war,
and in thrall to favourites, most notably the young nobleman Piers
Gaveston, he preferred drinking, driving carts and rowing boats to
the tedium of government. After twenty ruinous years, he was
imprisoned and murdered. This remarkable book gives a glimpse into
the abyss: the terrors of kingship.
