The Kings and Queens of England (Revealing History (Paperback))

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The new history of England through the lives of its kings and queens, written by a team of pre–eminent historians. Published in association with the British Library.

From the Publisher
The kings and queens of England have an enduring hold over the cultural psyche of the British. Whether it’s William the Conqueror’s slaying of Harold Godwinson, King John’s mythic badness or Henry VIII’s readiness to behead his unfortunate wives, these monarchs hold both legendary and symbolic positions in the public imagination, but are also integral to how history and events have shaped England today. In this new illustrated edition, historians expert in their field vividly present the lives of the country’s monarchs from the warrior kings of the so–called Dark Ages through to the present queen.

Mark Ormrod is Professor and Director of the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of York. His other book, The Reign of Edward III, is published by Tempus.
