Biography: royalty, British & Irish history, Genealogy, heraldry, names & honours
Opening with the reign of King Alfred, during which the foundations of the nation were laid, this book introduces the monarchs who have ruled through personal and political strife, triumph, war and peacetime. This is the story of modern civilization.
Historians and broadcasters Peter Snow and Ann MacMillan tell the real stories of the most powerful men and women in British history.
Updated for the 2023 coronation, Kings & Queens explores the lives, loves, triumphs and disasters of a monarchy that is the envy of the world. Snow and MacMillan offer a unique insight into those born to rule, whether villains or heroes from cruel King John and warrior-king Edward III, to our newest monarch, King Charles III.
This is the story of modern civilization through the lens of those who have ruled.
